Re: 7-12-07 - Redlegs-Metropolitans at Queens

I just still don't get Ryan Freel.

Bat him second?

He seems to either be 5-5 or 0-5.....and look bad doing it. Just me I guess.

chasing pitches up and out of the strike zone isnt going to get it done.

Watching the Reds the last couple of weeks, you really have to marvel at the play of Scott Hatteberg. He really knows how to hit, does it in the clutch. fields his position. Nice tag on that pick off.

I know he's as good as traded, but he's been a great pickup by Krivsky.

actually that would be Gonzo, who was late covering the bag ... it was the reason Ross held on to the ball

Everybody's clueless

Nice job getting out of a jam, though

Very poor hitting by the Reds there. Phillips, Dunn, and EE. Duque has been on the ropes with walks, base hits, Reds get lead off man on, Phillips can't make contact, Dunn keeps the bat on his shoulder, EE pops up.

Stadiums like Shea are challenging for the Reds because it's hard to get cheap home runs. Other than Hatteberg, I don't see a lot of base hits with men on base.

Diving for that ball just gave the Mets a run. Get in front of the ball and stop it - stop trying to make the highlight reel every night.

Freel helps the Mets take the lead.

Freel having a banner night.

Looked to me like Milledge never touched the plate, but I guess he did.

Reds outfield play doesn't exactly help the team's pitchers.

Freel's IQ has to be near the retardation line of 80.

Why he thinks he has to be Superman on every play kills me.

Where runners should be on 1st and 2nd with 2 outs, he lets a runner score from 1st base.

Can't wait until Hamilton gets back and Freel gets only spot starts now and then.
