Can Fifi's hot streak continue?

Re: Reds vs. Padres 9-14-2006
I sure hope so.
Nobody on this team deserves success down the stretch than he does.

Re: Reds vs. Padres 9-14-2006
Mmmm..... Freel back in CF. I guess Dwayne Wise just didn't cut it.
What's happened to Denorfia? I thought he was supossed to take over RF after the Kearns trade? Is he too young and not scrappy enough?

Re: Reds vs. Padres 9-14-2006
I agree. I've ripped him, but he is better than that .180ish batting average would suggest.

Re: Reds vs. Padres 9-14-2006
Denorifa (granted in limited at bats) as looked completely lost this season.

Re: Reds vs. Padres 9-14-2006
I agree. Although I have only seen him in limited AB's he looks like a AAAA player to me. I hope I'm proven wrong. But I would like to see him play a few games in a row. It wouldn't hurt,IMO.

Re: Reds vs. Padres 9-14-2006
I think the only reason Freel didn't start was the 4 Ks from the previous outing against Peavy. Jerry got to observe first hand that Ks aren't the worst thing that can happen in an AB.

Re: Reds vs. Padres 9-14-2006
His stock has fallen off the planet, in less than two months he has went from "his time" to being lower on the bench than Wise, Hopper and Hollandsworth.

Re: Reds vs. Padres 9-14-2006
Deno should get 5 or 6 starts at the end of the season if the Reds are truly out of it.

Re: Reds vs. Padres 9-14-2006
It doesn't matter as long as Narron is in charge. When Denorfia drops lower than guys like Wise and Hopper, 5 or 6 games isn't going to make a difference. From Jerry's point of view, obviously he has seen nothing to justify running Denorfia out there (not just a slump or bad luck). Denorfia has been buried and whatever optimisim existed from the last two seasons has been left way behind. I would be shocked if he is on the opening day roster in 2007.

Roberts pops out on the first pitch to 1b on a bunt attempt and we are underway.

Giles breaks his bat on a role out to Phillips. Two away.
