I pretty much can't find logic in Aurilia, Hatteberg, and Encarnacion hitting in front of Kearns.

However, whatever... keep winning and stuff.

I don't get it either. I figured that during the games Griffey would miss that Kearns would move to cleanup.

Like you said, keep winning, part of which is don't mess with success and don't fix what ain't broke.

[flyer85]

I'm shocked, no Jr

[cincyinco]

Perhaps Narron is tryin to keep the pressure off Kearns. He's hit rather well where he has... Last thing I want Kearns to do is start pressing and stop producing. Its still only 10 games in folks.. If Kearns keeps doing this for another 10, his confidence will be way up.. and then you move him up.

[flyer85]

Perhaps Narron is tryin to keep the pressure off Kearns. or perhaps he just clueless. Either is possible.

ha! I'll agree that is a legit possibility... heh. :laugh:

The only thing I can figure is that it gives us a big bat in the first three innings...meaning...Dunn in the first, EE in the second and Ears in the third...that way if Ponson is mowing through the lineup he has at least one power threat on the horizon.

Woah Marty thinking outside this box.

[KronoRed]

To me that would leave a lot of guys left on base :dunno:

There are boxes?

[flyer85]

There are boxes?only in our minds

[reds44]

Or if you are a mime (sp?)

Or if you are a mime (sp?)Dick Solomon was once imprisoned in an invisible box.

Have a good day shoot a mime, nobody will hear them scream.

BTW. Marty Just said on pre-game that a Monday return for Griffey is the MOST optimistic scenario. I don't get it, they need to just do an MRI and find out what the deal really is.

Although sending him out there and blowing the leg out is still a possibility as well.

[reds44]

I am starting to think this as well.

[KronoRed]

How come when JR gets hurt the Reds freak out? do they really think he'll hurt attendance that much?

Mimes are mean though :(

Imagine you are Junior and it is your career....Sort of like if you know something is wrong or has been wrong...you may not be so eager to know "the deal".

[MartyFan]

Mimes are mean though :(

True...Mimes live the Thug Life...Remember when you were in school...you never worried about the mouthy guy, always the guy who never said anything.

You' think he'd be used to it by now.

[MartyFan]

exactly why he would not want to hear it.

[MartyFan]

The lineup works in threes

No, I'm sure he isn't, and I don't blame him for that. But knowing the severity of injuries to players is the training staffs job, and not doing an MRI for a leg injury on a player with Juniors injury history is, in my opinion, dropping the ball.
