Get him out. He has no command today, just lots of movement all over the place. It doesn't help that Moose is sluggish at third, and the hitter that swings further back in the batter's box allowing that fool to get on base.

Your Hatred for Moose gets old.

Haven’t lost hope in Vlad by any stretch.

But he’s had several 2 strike counts and has been unable to put anyone away.

That’s where K/9 and having an out pitch can help a pitcher get out of a jam.

Bell needs to get someone warming up NOW. Is he going to let this get out of hand?

[kaldaniels]

Sadak’s overpronounciation of Hispanic names is especially grating when the Reds are getting the hell beat out of them.

I don't 'hate' any player. That' not a word used in my house. If this is how you want to treat someone new to the forums, on ignore you will go.

still no pitching coach visit??? Why not??

Whoever voted for Vlad to start game 1 of the playoffs. I bet they wanna change there vote now. What makes this worse is Bell used Hoffman 2 innings last night. So he is out for tonight. Hoffman is the only reliever that can go 3 innings or more.

Why so sensitive? Go back and read my posts about him. I liked his poise, his physique, his AAA numbers and his play at SS. He just couldn't hit. I don't get into hype. Peace.

EDIT: He'll get more playing time in AAA, and I'm of the opinion that SS has been held pretty solidly handled by Farmer. I'm not the only one here who feels it wasn't the right time to bring him up. Define "consistent AB". I saw a pattern with how he approached his at-bats, so I'd say he had consistent AB's.

I grew up on Alan Alda so I get emotional sometimes.

But let me tell/sing you little story about a man named Davey from Caracas Venezuela from the early 70s. Looked as skinny as a stick. Broomstick that is. Then a man named Klu got a hold of him and by 1973 he was the best hitting shortstop in the national league. Ted Kluzewski that is. Point of the story you see is you gotta give AB’s to your rookies specially the best SS prospect since sweet fielding Pookey. Pookey Reese that is.

He was out about 4 batters ago.

Hoffman went 2 last night?

Yikes.

Santillan hopefully can go 3…but doubtful

Not only that but your observation about sluggishness was spot on.
