Re: 5/7/12 - Reds at Brewers

Is it too soon to start complaining about the lack of Frazier?

Re: 5/7/12 - Reds at Brewers

Brewers have been hit hard by injuries

They just announced today Alex Gonzalez has a torn ACL. Add to that Carlos Gonmez went on the DL yesterday with a hamstring injury and they already had Mat Gamel out with a torn ACL and Narvesson is lost for the year with a torn rotator cuff

Re: 5/7/12 - Reds at Brewers

Heisey seems to be getting most of the playing time in LF recently.

I don't really see Ludwick's role on this team.

Well, he isn't doing much with it, thus the keeping of Ludwick around.

Heisey at .220/.270/.592
Ludwick at .185/.264/.633

Re: 5/7/12 - Reds at Brewers

I'm sick of seeing BP in the cleanup spot.

Stubbs batting 2nd? Dumb.

Geez. When do we hire Tony Larussa?

And despite that Ludwick is 2nd on the team in homers and 3rd in rbi.

Braun's been gimpy lately too. Hamstring IIRC.

You really need to learn about the effects of line-up construction. Suggesting that Stubbs batting second is "dumb" is actually quite an ignorant comment. It may not be the optimal choice in some people's opinions, however, it's not without merit, nor is it likely to have a significant impact either way. It's not like the team is full of .360 OBP guys that are getting pushed back.

Can Arroyo stick one in Brauns ribcage just based on principal? Show him we don't take kindly to cheaters.
