Just now. Thought it to be special enough for own thread.

Wow, very cool! I'm glad Drew seems to be hitting better now.

Stubbs is 3-for-3 tonight with two singles and a HR. His bat has come alive in the last few games.

Which has preceded by a regular pinch hit HR from Heisey. Harang with very nice outing
Nix just went yard.
Rolen went yard too. Reds up 6-2 after 6 innings.

Aargh! I just got home from work and missed the 2 fun innings. Inside the parker! Durnit!
Now tomorrow's game is on MLB network, right?
I'm more excited to see Francisco walk. That's about as rare as an inside the park homer.

Hehe, I was just about to post the same thing, asking if it was worthy of it's own thread too? :O)

Stubbs 6 for his last 9..... hitting .275 (by my calculation).... maybe the Dickerson backers won't continue to put a microscope on the spring training numbers.... just sayin.
Pretty sure the Dickerson backers were never basing their argument on ST stats...Originally Posted by Homer Bailey
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
Harang had trouble throwing strikes tonight, but his pitches in the zone were tough to hit.
Maloney looked good, though.

I have seen some criticism of Stubbs' numbers, and highlighting Dickerson's hot hitting. Not saying they were basing it on that, just using it.

I can't speak for anyone else but spring training numbers never had anything to do with my admiration of Chris Dickerson nor made me think less of Drew Stubbs.
I like'em both but I honestly believe Dickerson can be a solid CF and leadoff hitter. Dickerson has proven that he plays an above average CF and has enough talent to get on base.
Stubbs plays an above average CF and has above average speed but I worry about his ability to avoid outs.
Yes, he is a little younger than Dickerson but Dickerson has a MLB track record of getting on base. right now the Cincinnati Reds are in dire need of guys that get on base.
