I'm kind of exited to see if Fogg can give up 16 hits in fewer than 5 innings
Oh well. Adkins homers to make it 7-0, and Josh Fogg is back to normal. Three game sweep for the Rocks. As Marty just said, "this is not a very good baseball team."

Coffey break! This should be fun!
That was the 11th homer Fogg has given up in just under 50 innings this season.
I just lost the feed Either that or the cable system was watching and threw up
I may have been the only one to believe he was not our savior. He will be good in time, but he has some learning to do just like Dickerson will. We need major league players at SS, C, and in CF. And we have a utilityman, pretenders, and today a washed up player in those positions. Recipe for failure.

Actually we don't know that Dickerson would be an upgrade. If the Reds thought Dickerson could hit in the majors, I think he would have been up already.
But, again, as I've said dozen of times, Patterson hardly every plays. He is not the problem. He is a one-year backup player normally used for late inning defense and injury fill-in.
Patterson gets all the grief from the fans because they are unwilling to face the fact that their favorites aren't cutting the mustard. So, on RedsZone, guys like Patterson, and Juan Castro, and David Ross, and Bako, and now Keppinger get the grief. Even Hairston, who was just about the best player on the team while healthy, was the subject of constant cries for his departure because he supposedly would be lousy soon.
It's not the role players, folks, it's the regulars.
