Re: 7/5/12 - Reds at Padres
That's a lot of ground for inexperience in CF. Is Ludwick hurt?

Re: 7/5/12 - Reds at Padres
It truly boggles my mind how ignorant Dusty is. If I was Votto, I'd be furious. I'm sure he is deep down, but would never say anything about it.

Re: 7/5/12 - Reds at Padres
I can't wait to watch the boys hack tonight!
And batting Valdez 2nd and playing in him CF is hilarious, but CFers hit 2nd dude.

Re: 7/5/12 - Reds at Padres
Cozart continuing to leadoff is worse than Valdez batting second tonight, IMO.

Re: 7/5/12 - Reds at Padres
Random: I was checking Cards/Rox box score to learn something of Fowler. As I was skimming through, I noticed something very frustrating: the lowest BA for the cards is .277 for Furcal. Almost every hitter sans pother is at .300. Is that a hitting coach thing or just good drafting and smart trades? Could it also simply be lineup construction? I want out lowest avg in our lineup to be .240, let alone .270+. Something needs to change and it ain't playing Valdez in center. Terrible lineup once again.

At least Cozart makes up for his his .300 OBP with a little pop.

Re: 7/5/12 - Reds at Padres
Harang and Volquez back to back.
Problem w/ Volky....are there any hitters besides JV in the lineup patient enough to expose his control issues?

Re: 7/5/12 - Reds at Padres
This gem courtesy of reds44 in the main forum via Fay
Stubbs will likely be back be back in the lineup today. He’ll also likely be in the second spot, i.e, Baker is not considering doing him down in the lineup. “He took off this year when I put him second,” Baker said. “You hope, during the course of the year, whoever I put in front of Joey (Votto) takes off. Like I keep saying it’s like putting your finger in the dike trying to re-arrange things. “He’s one my one main speed threat. If you drop him down to seventh and he steals, they’ll walk the catcher to get to the pitcher.” I don't even know where to begin with this Dusty-ism... |
