I think Mackinen understands this better than we do, too. Look for him to get as many pitches out of Belisle as he can.

Re: 7/19/07 - Reds vs. Marlins Game Thread
Dunn and MacKanin had a closed door meeting today about Dunn getting pulled out games in the 7th or 8th inning.
Dunn doesn't like being replaced defensively.

Ramirez singles in a run on a pitch right down the middle of the plate by Belisle. 3-1 Reds. Goes to 2nd on an error by Junior.

Narron, did it some of the time. Pete does it every game the Reds have a lead after the 7th.

Hopefully Mac let Adam know it was all in his hands.

Re: 7/19/07 - Reds vs. Marlins Game Thread
I have no audio.
How is Belisle working with Valentin so far tonight? Is he shaking him off a lot?

Re: 7/19/07 - Reds vs. Marlins Game Thread
DH'ing in the American League would solve that.

Re: 7/19/07 - Reds vs. Marlins Game Thread
I would say it is a sign that the commincation wasn't done ... otherwise there would have been no need for the meeting. He should have talked to Dunn about it when he took over.

Re: 7/19/07 - Reds vs. Marlins Game Thread
Very Nice!
10-pitch inning and he's got his best pitch working. It's really has a lot of drop on it.

I still think Belisle has pretty good potential.

Re: 7/19/07 - Reds vs. Marlins Game Thread
I think the REDS think so, too. Otherwise, I can't think of any other reason why they're forcing him to work with Valentin.
No one answered my question. Anyone who is watching the game, how much is Belisle shaking off Valentin tonight? Are they on the same page?
