Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. -- Carl Sagan (Pale Blue Dot)

This should be interesting..Originally Posted by WrongVerb
I sill can't believe they PH Farmer for Winker last night. I don't care what the analytics might say.

Winker in CF...lol
Why didn't this org find a backup CF'er this past winter to replace BHam?

I don't want to hear another person say Senzel wasn't ready and that's why he didn't make the team.

Senzel was a pure experiment when the offseason began, the Reds still should have found another CF'er to compete alongside him and Schebler.
Oh well, all winter I read posts saying CF is easy - we're going to see how easy it is tonight.

Well the outfield will be fun tonight!
We snap the streak tonight. Reds win 6-2

No worries on Winker in CF, Matt Kemp is in LF to get to anything Winker can’t.

This the free game of the day on MLBTV.
If the baseball gods are at work tonight the game will end with Winker making a diving catch to save the game. That's just baseball.

...or, they figure out how to win a 1-run game. I'll take that, too. That's what Veterans (Pitchers and Hitters) learn how to do...whatever it takes to win by a run, whether it's 1-0 or 10-9. Jack Morris was the best I ever saw at that as a Pitcher. Eric Davis was the best I ever saw at that as a Position Player. There's where the bar is set for a CF. Winker is utterly dismal as an overall player compared to him, but if he's out there, bat him first so he can possibly get that 5th plate appearance.
Votto and Winker could easily reach base a combined 5 times tonight. I expect 4, with them scoring 3 runs between them. That won't be enough. Others will have to score, too. We'll need 6+ runs tonight.

Leadoff batter plays CF, dude.
We had Dusty misread the entire time.

Winker in CF at PNC Park...well this game should have some comedic value anyway.
In a weird way I am interested to tune in just to see how he looks out there.
Will he be better or worse than Griffey Jr playing CF for the White Sox?

It's cloudy out in Pittsburgh
It's raining in Saigon
Snow's fallin' all across the Michigan line
Well she sits by the lights of the Christmas tree
With the radio softly on
Thinkin' how a good man is so hard to find
