I wouldn't be opposed to seeing Paul get a start, either. It might be time to give Stubbs a couple days i.e. Bruce. His body language is pretty rough right now.

lol it was definitely me. I caught it on the bounce and not the fly but yea it was me. I ended up giving to a kid though, I'm a sucker like that.

Please, pretty please?

Because I have no idea, can Paul play CF?

I would love for him to hit, but the Reds have been waiting on that for a few years. At this point, he's 27 and there's no signs of him cutting down on his strikeouts. There's very little chance he's ever going to hit any more consistently than he is. It's hard to get hits when you're getting mowed down on strikes 30% of the time.

A little. He's more of a corner guy, but has some speed. The vast majority of his career appearances are in left and right.

Yeah, but he hasn't responded to Redszone's criticism so I thought maybe we could beg him to hit better.

Here comes the wave....

Well, I think we've used up our positive reinforcement, so perhaps we should collectively ridicule him relentlessly and he'll deliver lol

You'd think by now they'd learn to pay attention to Redszone to solve ALL the teams' problems.

Bruce walks, bases loaded 2 outs for Scotty 2 Hottie!
