I don't know if Kearns is better offensively than WMP, but WMP is not hitting either. I think pitchers have adjusted to WMP, not throwing him a lot of fastballs, taking advantage of his bad strike zone judgment. WMP has to learn to adjust or he will wash out.Originally Posted by westofyou
WMP has the advantage of being younger. WMP's disadvantage is that he is a terrible fielder.
Bright side: Ortiz Out.
Down Side: Standridge is due to have his bubble burst.
standridge in.. ortiz good performance... 7IP 10H 2R 0ER... However, errors were on him
Conine singles.
I hope Standridge continues to pitch well.
I'm as big a defender of Kearns as any, but I know when it's time for a reckoning, too. Kearns has been awful this year, unacceptably horrid. I really don't think the kid's going to rediscover his ability with the Reds if at all. It was time to cut bait with the kid on July 31, but the Reds hesitated like idiots.Originally Posted by Casey_21

Cabrera grounds out, Conine to 2nd. 1 out.
17 months is not that big a gap as far as age, Kearns injuries are as much a career bender to him as WMP contract was/is to his.WMP has the advantage of being younger. WMP's disadvantage is that he is a terrible fielder.
Nope, they didn't. Everything is on freeze with the ownership situation. I don't know why this board constantly doesn't get that. When things are on freeze, they are on freeze. DanO only has authority to trade 2 players. Do we understand now?Originally Posted by Falls City Beer
Lowell flies out. 2 outs.
I'm just sayin...Mike Lowell looks smaller to me this year.
I don't care a whit who's giving the orders to trade or not to trade--okay, in your scenario, then I blame Lindner for passing down the "no trade" edict. It's dumb for the immediate future of the franchise and the long-term future. It's just all around dumb to have a "trade freeze" when you've got inventory (Pena and Kearns) rotting on the shelves.Originally Posted by Aronchis

The Theme from SWAT makes me want to roller skate... but that's just me.
