[edabbs44]

Aurilia has to have something on Narron. There is absolutely no reason for him to be hitting higher than 9th against a RHP.

[KronoRed]

Unbelievable

[kyred14]

Aurilia has to have something on Narron. There is absolutely no reason for him to be hitting higher than 9th against a RHP.

No, Narron's just not a very good manager.

[KronoRed]

Narron usually has the right guys in the 1-2 spots but then it just goes haywire

[KronoRed]

If I could, I'd smite Narron

[reds44]

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

RA 4th, BP 8th, Ross not playing at all???

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

[reds44]

I'm telling you Narron doesn't want Edwin back. RA batting 4th is just another sign of this. He doesn't like young players. We should call him Dusty Narron.

[KronoRed]

Edwin will spend the maximum amount of time rehabbing ;)

[reds44]

Freel
Phillips
Griffey
Dunn
Kearns
Lopez
Hatteberg
RA
LaRue

That should be tonight's lineup if you are going to use those players.

[CTA513]

Phillips has been a pretty hot hitter lately and hes batting 8th... :laugh:

I checked out Victor Martinez career stats and this will be the first time hes played first base in the majors.

[reds44]

I really want to know why you bat the player that is tied for the team lead in rbi's, is perfect on stolen bases, and leads the team in BA 8th.

Phillips' batting average is higher then Griffey's and almost as high as RA's OBP.

It baffles me.

[SirFelixCat]

Freel
Phillips
Griffey
Dunn
Kearns
Lopez
Hatteberg
RA
LaRue

That should be tonight's lineup if you are going to use those players.


Man, it might sound dumb, but comparing the two lineups, it's really amazing how much better and more intimidating yours looks than Boone's---errrr---Narron's.

[Patrick Bateman]

I really want to know why you bat the player that is tied for the team lead in rbi's, is perfect on stolen bases, and leads the team in BA 8th.

Phillip's batting average is higher then Griffey's and almost as high as RA's OBP.

It baffles me.

I wouldn't put much faith into batting average and rbi's, but you are right, there is no reason for RA to be batting 4th. RA should be hitting 8th at best against righties.

Other than that I could see hitting Phillips 2nd or 7th with Lopez switching with him, but that wouldn't make much of a difference at all.

[pedro]

RA has a .262 OBP against RH this year.

[redsfan4445]

Why does LaRue all of a sudden get more playing time over Ross???
Wouldnt "Mr Baseball guy" Narron be smart to play guys that will get clutch hits??? not automatic outs??
hmmmmmmm

[Matt700wlw]

McCracken should be DH :mooner:

[vaticanplum]

RA has a .262 OBP against RH this year.

:lol:

[dsmith421]

I read this today on Aaron Gleeman's blog (www.aarongleeman.com). Gleeman is a Twins fan.

"It's laughable that a team would even consider benching guys like Felipe Lopez or Edwin Encarnacion to get Castro into games as a defensive replacement. Not only are Lopez and Encarnacion two of the Reds' best players and two of the best young infielders in baseball, at this point in his career Castro is about as qualified to be a defensive replacement as I am to be a pinch-runner.

"Last week in this space I speculated that Reds general manager Wayne Krivsky "was behind signing Castro two years ago" when he was Terry Ryan's assistant. I've since seen that confirmed in several places, which makes me glad that Krivsky and Castro are together again ... in Cincinnati. Ryan has enough trouble staying away from crappy veterans without someone like Krivsky egging him on."

Good to know fans of other teams are seeing the same things I am.

[westofyou]

I really want to know why you bat the player that is tied for the team lead in rbi's, is perfect on stolen bases, and leads the team in BA 8th.To drive in Dunn.

[CrackerJack]

You need veteran presence in the cleanup spot, not these young whipper snappers.

Aurillia does have the 2nd highest slg % on the team though...(oops, other than Ross, so he's 3rd)

yeah but it's .351 against RHP.

[oregonred]

yeah but it's .351 against RHP.

Ahhh details... :laugh:

[westofyou]

Rich Aurilia in the 4th slot is the Baseball equivalent of the Monday Special at a Fish House.

[WMR]

Ack, really stupid line-up from JN tonight. Oh well, hopefully it'll produce.

[KronoRed]

Narron was obviously the power behind the Miley Aurilia love

[Matt700wlw]

That's a good way to start!

[reds44]

Scrappy Freel!

[KronoRed]

Indians = Bad ;)

[reds44]

Heck yeah!!!!

Back-to-back doubles!!!

1-0!!!!

[KronoRed]

Hey look..John Allen on the screen :D

[KronoRed]

Rich ground right to the pitcher

How bout a sac fly huh? ;)

[Matt700wlw]

That's the cleanup hitter!

[westofyou]

Mmmm halibut

[KronoRed]

Allen always looks bored at games :lol:

[KronoRed]

Dunn walks

[flyer85]

unscrappy walk. He shoulda been hacking

[savafan]

Allen always looks bored at games :lol:

He's going to be in the background of a lot of shots tonight, isn't he...

Great! :help:

[reds44]

Nice job Narron.


moron

[OnBaseMachine]

April offense would have scored no less than two runs there.

[savafan]

Nice job Narron.


moron

no reason to be name calling, it was only the first inning.

[Matt700wlw]

Nice job Narron.


moron

Did he bat?

:mooner:

[KronoRed]

He's going to be in the background of a lot of shots tonight, isn't he...

Great! :help:
Is RedRead around?

Not that I'm saying they are the same person but...:evil:

[reds44]

Did he bat?

:mooner:
No, but he decided who did.

[oregonred]

Of course, RA's OPS remains above Griffey's at 10% of the cost.

KGJ's been simply a no show on this 3-10 run.

But that's not PC to mention ;)

[flyer85]

The Hat grounds on on what looked like a ballI don't feel like I am going out on a limb in predicting Hatty's numbers are about ready to take a serious dive

[reds44]

no reason to be name calling, it was only the first inning.
Sorry I will save it for the 8th and the bullpen.

:evil:

Griffey catches a ball, Hal McCoy gets to work on another article about why Griffey should stay in centerfield.

Now they have.

Only in effigy.

[Ltlabner]

I just got back from dinner with the wife. On the drive back I was joking with her that Narron would find some way to force RA into the lineup as soon as possible. Little did I realize he would tonight....and as the frickin DH. Good lord.

[KronoRed]

Harang with the K

[savafan]

Commercial break time again:

[KronoRed]

Kearns-Phillips-LaRue due up

Pretty good 7-9

[reds44]

rough inning for Aaron.

[KronoRed]

Yeesh I loath this Labatt commercial..glub glub glub

[SirFelixCat]

That was a sick pitch for strike 3 there.

[savafan]

Kearns-Phillips-LaRue due up

Pretty good 7-9

Provided that #9 can lay down a sacrifice bunt.

[KronoRed]

It's gonna take an act of Krivsky to get EE back and starting at 3rd

[KronoRed]

Kearns vs Westbrook

I still wouldn't do that trade

[oregonred]

No one thinks he should bat cleanup, but...

Your alternative DH option from this EdE deficient and horribly constructed 25-man current roster would be?? Ross

[Falls City Beer]

For the first time in an eternity the Reds get to face a clearly weaker time than the team the Cardinals are playing.

[savafan]

What, Broussard was traded to Cincinnati for Russell Branyan????

[KronoRed]

Aww come on..BOOOO

[SirFelixCat]

Bs!

[Matt700wlw]

That's another bad call.

[KronoRed]

What, Broussard was traded to Cincinnati for Russell Branyan????
Details ;)

[flyer85]

Kearns was safe

[savafan]

Kearns was clearly safe.

[OnBaseMachine]

Kearns reaches on an infield single but the ump decides to screw the Reds again.

[oregonred]

Do the Reds know you're allowed to score in consecutive innings?

[KronoRed]

Work the count there Brandon

[KronoRed]

LaRue k's..on to bottom of 2

Larue - 2 for his last 37

Rotation tweak!!

Mays getting skipped on Tuesday with the off day Monday, which gives Arroyo an extra start before the All-Star break.

[reds44]

Man Hafner with a .450 OBP

[KronoRed]

Pronk :lol: flies out

[KronoRed]

So I guess we will go with a 4 man rotation whenever we can.

Wow that pitch was nasty!!!

Harang has some philthy stuff working tonight.

[KronoRed]

Nice to see strikes called strikes

All hail questec :D

[OnBaseMachine]

Impressive strikezone tonight.

Credit to questec.

[KronoRed]

Freel singles

[OnBaseMachine]

Please don't bunt here.

[reds44]

Scrappy Freel

boy he isn't wasting any time tonight.

[KronoRed]

Aww..Freel out on a steal try

[OnBaseMachine]

More stupid baserunning by the Reds. Good grief.

[flyer85]

Freel just really does a boatload of stupid stuff on the bases

[KronoRed]

Lopez grounds out..this inning died fast

[Matt700wlw]

More stupid baserunning by the Reds. Good grief.

He took a shot....it happens.

It's a momentum killer, but it happens...

[Matt700wlw]

Gapper's in the house.

[KronoRed]

Gapper rocks

[KronoRed]

JR fouled off 2 pitches that were ball 4..he then K's

[OnBaseMachine]

He took a shot....it happens.

It's a momentum killer, but it happens...

The ball bounced two feet away from the catcher. You don't gamble in that situation with 0 outs and the meat of the order comign up.

[Caveat Emperor]

Griffey battled back from 3-0 to get his strikeout.

Yeah Freel does take some stupid chances, but that is how he is in the majors. Taking risks and playing hard.

Apparently gapper needs a haircut

[reds44]

Man Harang has good stuff today.

[KronoRed]

Sizemore doubles

[Gallen5862]

Smoltz hurt looks like a pulled groin or something with 2 outs in the second inning.

[KronoRed]

Woohoo..4-6 DP :D

[MrCinatit]

NICE DP by BP

[reds44]

Hahahahaha

BP so smooth.

[SirFelixCat]

Sorry to hear about Smoltz...only Brave I like. Great pitcher and a stand up guy imo.


Nice DP!

[Matt700wlw]

Dear Indians.

Thanks for the gift.

[RedsMan3203]

Oscar Villarreal relieved John Smoltz.


Smoltz just left in the 2nd inning with 2 outs..... Something is either wrong.. or he just got traded.

[Gallen5862]

Thanks for pbp having to watch braves game. I might watch some of astros and whitesox on wgn.

[Matt700wlw]

And I saw the update come up with Smoltz being replaced...

[KronoRed]

Dunn K's

That was somehow worse then Rich making an out ;)

[KronoRed]

The Hat dbls to right

Our 7-8 combo is better then our 3-4.

The Revenge of Phillips

[Big Klu]

Rotation tweak!!

Mays getting skipped on Tuesday with the off day Monday, which gives Arroyo an extra start before the All-Star break.

Several days ago on another thread, I projected the rotation to the All-Star Break, and I postulated that this might happen.

(Pats self on back) :D

[OnBaseMachine]

He crushed that. Phillips consistently hits the ball as hard as anyone in the game.

[KronoRed]

Westbrook to Phillips :HEY! I didn't trade you

;)

[KronoRed]

He crushed that. Phillips consistently hits the ball as hard as anyone in the game.
Hate to have that anywhere near the top of the order :D

[Matt700wlw]

Westbrook already at 70 pitches

[KronoRed]

LaRue also refuses a walk..grounds out..to the bot of the 4th

[Matt700wlw]

2 for 38

Where is Ross?

He's probably going to play tomorrow (day game after a night game, and Arroyo's pitching).

Come on, Rich isn't that bad. I don't know why, but a lot of people on here want to equate Aurilia offensively with McCracken and Castro. :confused:

It's now 7-3 Detroit. The Tigers are good.

True he's not Q bad..but he's batting cleanup with 3 players I'd rather see in the 4 spot behind him

[RedsMan3203]

Was that John Allen in the background with Dunner up?

[harangatang]

Did anyone else just see John Allen sitting in the stands in Cleveland on FSN? I wonder what's up? They just showed him as they were showing a different camera angle on Dunn.

[harangatang]

Was that John Allen in the background with Dunner up? Beat me to it.

I would welcome that. It would be much better than my present "More...more....MORE" state of mind.

[TeamCasey]

Is is just me or does Freel's gotee make him look like Shaggy from Scooby Doo?

Yes .... he looks like an old man.

[Matt700wlw]

Allen has been there all game..he looks bored ;)


He's scouting talent

:laugh:

Zach Ward has now retired 16 straight batters.

Hat pops one up..end of the threat

[Ltlabner]

Allen has been there all game..he looks bored

That's because he doesn't know much about the game....and he's proud of that...:explode:

[reds44]

Hatte just can not drive in runs.

I have a feeling Ward will be the next guy promoted to AA.
When I listened to the game last night they were saying how they had an open spot on the roster after Steve Kelly was promoted to AAA.

Sure glad we got him batting in front of Kearns and Phillips

[reds44]

Yes .... he looks like an old man.
He is 30 something, not exactly a spring chicken (for a baseball player, I am not calling anyone over 30 old).

[KronoRed]

Gotta get this guy out..he's worse then Q

Well maybe not ;)

He grounds out

Hope the Sox slaughter the Astros like they did the Cards

[OnBaseMachine]

I went over to the Cards board to read what they thought about the Cards crappy pitching as of late, and of course they think the other teams are stealing signs.

Typical Cards fan.;)

[savafan]

Just heard, Allen has been traded to the Indians for an executive to be named later.

[KronoRed]

Shop K's

Sizemore up

A ETBNL?? No cash??

[KronoRed]

Sizemore grounds out..inning over

[KronoRed]

Can't trade Allen..we need RedRead!

;)

[Big Klu]

True he's not Q bad..but he's batting cleanup with 3 players I'd rather see in the 4 spot behind him

Rich is one of my personal favorites, but I agree that he shouldn't be hitting 4th. But that isn't his fault.

My lineup (if I had written out the card tonight):

Freel 3b
Lopez ss
Griffey cf
Kearns rf
Dunn lf
Phillips 2b
Hatteberg 1b
Aurilia dh
LaRue c

Wayne does it again!!!!

;)

[RedsMan3203]

Is Allen still with the team? Just wondering... I didn't keep up with much when the new onwership came in and cleaned house.

Yep, still running the money side of it

[KronoRed]

Kearns with a quick fly out

[Ltlabner]

Just heard, Allen has been traded to the Indians for an executive to be named later.

I think I heard somewhere that the "executive" to be named later is the shift lead for the outfield nacho stand. It's all The Kriv could pull off in the trade, but he unloaded the salary and got a great "5-tool" prospect.

[Gallen5862]

Maybe Allen trying to figure out what to do with the $325,000 saved by phillies claiming White off waivers lol.

[KronoRed]

Phillips flys out to left
