Everyone has a dream, my dream is that you don't get yours.

Nope, why would a backup be in over the starter?

If I was Deno, I'd bring those post-trade articles into Krivsky's office and say: "It's my time? I'm ready? Did you tell this to Jerry?"

Since the trade (7/13), Deno has gotten 25 ABs. 4 ABs since July 21st.

Note to young players: Do not, I repeat, DO NOT make an error with the big club. I wonder what would happen if Homer got called up and muffed a bunt in his 1st inning. He might be banished to mop up duty for 5 years.

I hope Clayton commits an error, then Phillips with superman speed runs over and pick up the ball and throws the runner out..Narron immediately declares Phillips the new SS and Rich heads to 2nd with EE to 3rd..a big hug on the pitchers mound and then they continue to play

Freel since the AS Break

.318/.412/.591/1.003

I think that has more to do with it then an error.

Why? I know he's not the fan favorite to play SS but there's no reason to root for an error.

I would rather see Freel in RF than Deno too. Actually I'd rather see Freel in CF and Jr. in RF. But that's another topic for another time.

Freel will wear down. He needs mroe days off then we are giving him. Deno should start twice or three times a week.

Did anyone notice EE isn't playin?

BTW, Dodgers DFAed Cruz. If I was the Reds I'd seriously consider him as an extra OF and bat. Reds desperately need another LHB on the bench. He's not the greatest hitter but he'll take a walk and has some pop.
