Re: 8/9/2012 Reds vs Baby Bears
Cairo seems like a nice guy. Maybe the Reds can make him a coach and get someone for the bench that can contribute a little bit.

Re: 8/9/2012 Reds vs Baby Bears
Mes is really disappointing me. I thought was quite a hitter, but he looks lost, too.

Re: 8/9/2012 Reds vs Baby Bears
Runner at second with no outs wasted. That's a bummer.

Re: 8/9/2012 Reds vs Baby Bears
He only plays a few times a week, however. And has to worry about calling a game, catching his pitchers, opposing baserunners, and he's coming off a one week stretch where he didn't play at all and is recovering from a concussion. I thought he'd be more productive this year, but in the long run, I'm not that concerned with him.

Re: 8/9/2012 Reds vs Baby Bears
If cairo had gotten the bunt down...mezz's fly ball scores frazier.

Re: 8/9/2012 Reds vs Baby Bears
He's far and away The Reds' best TV guy, IMO. He really does well bringing some stats into the discussion and in a way that more casual fans can also appreciate.

Re: 8/9/2012 Reds vs Baby Bears
I don't mind the bunt as much as some here...but for me, you only do it if you have players who are ABLE to do it. And I haven't seen evidence of that from this year's club. Let 'em swing.

Re: 8/9/2012 Reds vs Baby Bears
Might prove to bite them again. Scant two run lead and only 6 hits against a guy with a 7+ ERA. Quality start for Volsty. Bats are nearly silent.

Re: 8/9/2012 Reds vs Baby Bears
Exactly. They're just gift-wrapping outs for the opposing pitcher at this point.

Re: 8/9/2012 Reds vs Baby Bears
I like him with Kelch. Kelch is really growing on me. It's nice not having to listen to someone yelling at me and belaboring point after point.
