I remember in early 1974....... Lynn McGlothlin and John Curtis shutout the Reds back to back in Cincy. Lynn freaking McGlothlin and Johnny freaking Curtis. The Reds had a .184 hitting Griffey playing LF with a .240 hitting Merv Rettenmund... Cesar was below .200 and Foster was barely playing and only hitting .240...and the bench consisted of Andy Kosco hitting barely .200. Hal King below .200. This was well into May then soon to be June.
Now I realize we are talking about the BRM here.....but they had holes in RF and 3B pretty much from 1972-74. Hopefully those holes here will be filled by a Frazier or a trade.
Ishikawa walks. Bases loaded.
Yes, errors notwithstanding, he is still twice the defender of other LF in recent memory -- as is Ludwick. So... even when they aren't hitting, we can be happy that they aren't negatively impacting the team in other ways.
And, as I already wrote, I will NEVER mention Heisey's D during a game thread again.

Arroyo has thrown a lot of pitches through 4.

Ok, Guy's eating Scrapple and I'm back to the Reds game. Glad I missed that almost Arroyo meltdown. He amazes me sometimes.
