New 3 hole hitter has 3 HRs. I'm with Lecure. I would have left India in the leadoff spot.
Won't matter much in the next week though. The Reds are due to face a ton of LHP. Friedl and Fraley won't be in the starting lineup much. If Friedl is he will be 8th or 9th in the order.
If a Cardinals fan was drowning I'd try to rescue them because I'm not a monster, but I wouldn't be happy about it.
I’m a bit more of a monster than you, so I would save them, but I’d make them say “Yadi sucks” three times first.Originally Posted by LeatherPants

That didn't take long. GABP Special. That's probably a out in the other 29 stadiums. I hate GABP dimensions.

Only base-runner for the Cards in the first was this brief circuit for a 1-0 deficit for the Reds, no trying to at least match that run in their half.
Ashcraft strikes out the side, except for the part of the side that hit a homer.
Friedl wasn't hitting before he went on IL. Think he had like a 1 for 20 streak going. And McLain is a strike out machine. Hope that changes. EDLC will strike out a ton I bet.
Speed wins again
So, things can only get better, you're saying.

Bell needs to give Fraley the rest of the year and let him face LHP. The ugly results are in the past. He is a better player now. It's not like the alternatives are any good.
Stephenson is getting worse by the week. Huge hole in the middle of those 7 hitters. Really good at killing rallies.

I'm ready to see the youngsters. But I think most Reds fans have unrealistic expectations for them.

I don't know. Not too many REDS' fans with unrealistic expectations anymore.

I hate Waino for a plethora of reasons, none more than the fact that he makes me feel so damn old. It seems likes he's been playing since Neanderthal walked the planet, yet when he was born I was already a sophomore in college. Wainwright makes me feel like Homo habilis . For that alone, I hope he continues to be our personal whipping boy.
