Please try and steal to stay out of the double-play.
Should never have gotten rid of Mackanin. But, hey, throwing around $3.5 MM a year for a name was the cool thing to do.
I guess you are relying on the planets aligning stat.
Every other offensive stat shows that the Cards were the dominant offensive team in the NL for 162 games last year.
The Cards are still a good offensive team this year, good balance, steady hitters, don't strike out.
The Reds, on the other hand, are Joey Votto, a couple of old timers, and the right handed swing away and miss club.
Votto is the only hitter we have right now that will go the other way. And Cozart.
The Reds just need to make it to the end of the month trailing by less than 10 games and this is still a season....
"This isn’t stats vs scouts - this is stats and scouts working together, building an organization that blends the best of both worlds. This is the blueprint for how a baseball organization should be run. And, whether the baseball men of the 20th century like it or not, this is where baseball is going."---Dave Cameron, U.S.S. Mariner

2 on and nobody out. I'm seeing an infield fly followed by a double-play.
Sorry to be a pessimist. :-)
Of course.

OK, maybe I got the order mixed up. ;-)
There is a reason why Pete hasn't been hired as a manager by some club. Any club. That's why he wasn't hired here. Was Dusty a mistake? My jury is still somewhat out. He makes mistakes, but we rail on TLR here and look what he did. This team isn't winning because of players playing poorly.
