Pete Mackanin, very very interesting
Did anyone catch this yesterday. After Ludwick for St.Louis hit his second HR yesterday Brantley said that the guy has hit everything low very hard and that the Reds must have a bad advance scout not to see that. Guess who is the advance scout...Pete Mackanin. It'll be interesting to hear Jeff Rantly's opinion of ouR new manager.

I honestly cannot assess the REDS scouting department. However, I can give an assessment of the pitching staff... and it ain't good.

Re: Pete Mackanin, very very interesting
Do they have more than one advanced scout?

Jeff Brantley King of the off the cuff opinions, perfect announcer for the Reds and their fans.

Re: Pete Mackanin, very very interesting
I wouldn't be surprised if Brantley already knew through the grapevine who the next manager was going to be, disapproved of the choice, and thought he would insert a dig into his commentary that only people in the know would catch. He forgot that some people actually listen to and remember the things he says for more than an inning.

Re: Pete Mackanin, very very interesting
The Reds relievers have looked like they've had no approach, good or bad, except "grip it and rip it" (Majewski quote).
