7/3/06: Reds @ Brewers Game Thread (No Edwin)

[Matt700wlw]

Dunn has been hitting a lot better lately

[pedro]

Honesty I can't take all this manic depressive mood swings around here.

You guys have fun pissing and moaning.

[flyer85]

But it's clear that EE is being mothballed for reasons right now that have NOTHING to do with whether or not he can help this team win.

... there just isn't a move the FO wants to make at this point. Honestly I think they are waiting and hoping something will happen to open a spot and that way they don't lose anyone.

[Tornon]

Griffey grounds to first, Dunn goes to third. 2 out

[membengal]

No one's pissing and moaning, pedro. There is a genuine query about why EE isn't here. It's a legitimate topic for conversation, as is, mind you, Narron's obsession with using Weathers in close and late situations at this point.

Having said that, I sincerely hope Aurilia comes through here. But I am not holding my breath.

[OnBaseMachine]

Nice swing by Rich on a 1-0 pitch about a foot outside.

Then he singles in Dunn.

[oneupper]

Let's get on with criticizing the game that going on...please...

[Tornon]

Aurilia lines a hit to right, 1-0 Reds

just observing an explaining. I haven't complained at all about EE not being brought back, just explained what is going on. It is there perogative to keep EE down as long as they want. His coming back will make this team marginally better but won't do anything to solve the real issues.

[membengal]

There! See, my obsession with banging on Aurilia pays off!

[Kc61]

Thank you. What flyer said. There isn't any need to look hard for a conspiracy. EE is healthy. He is raking. And he isn't here. Instead, we have Aurilia and Castro manning third base while WK twiddles his thumbs over the need to make a roster move. It is what it is. But it's clear that EE is being mothballed for reasons right now that have NOTHING to do with whether or not he can help this team win. It's ridiculous.

Maybe EE is engaged in intensive fielding practice. That's my bet.

As RA knocks in the first run of the day with a two out single.

[reds44]

Thats another week in AAA for Edwin.

[Tornon]

Hatteberg walks on 4 pitches

Yes, but you are "explaining what is going on" as if you have an idea what is really going on. Unless you are involved in the day to day Red's decision making process and aren't telling us, you really have no idea what is really going on for certian.

there just isn't a move the FO wants to make at the moment. It really seems to be as simple as that.
