I agree on that. I'm saying to hit Aurillia 7th or 8th (where Omedo is today)Originally Posted by BRM

[Phil ] Castellini celebrated the team's farm system and noted the team had promising prospects who would one day be great Reds -- and then joke then they'd be ex-Reds, saying "of course we're going to lose them". #SellTheTeamBob

I guess I have a different POV. I think even if the team is in last place, it should try to win every game for the benefit of the people that bought tickets.Originally Posted by KronoRed
If a kid is a legitimate prospect, then I have no problem giving at bats to develop the guy. However, if the kid is not a legit prospect (ie. Machado), then it's really a waste to give the kid at bats when you have a better older player that can help you win today.
Although Olmedo plays seldom enough that this isn't a big problem. If Olmedo started starting 3-4 days a week, I'd have a problem with it.

25 guys on the bench and a 5th place club.
Use em all, keep em fresh. It's good for future at bats and double switches. Plus Olmeda is actually in the Reds future.
Yeah, I actually don't have a problem with Olmedo starting once every 10 or 14 games. You have a point there.Originally Posted by westofyou
But if Olmedo is part of the "future", the future sure looks bleak.

Temps in the mid 90's. Should be a lot of sweating going on today.

Felipe now 0 for last 23 after flying out on a 1-0 pitch.
Not every piece of a team is a star. Look at the Orioles during the Weaver era or LaRussa's teams, good teams have all sorts of players, even glovey judy boys that make peanuts.But if Olmedo is part of the "future", the future sure looks bleak.
Lopez flies out to left. 1 out.
As I said last night... Who cares about the Line-up....
Lets get another win today....

There is a lot of Red in the stands at Wrigley today.
