August 14, 200620 yr Edwin Encarnacion has been named National League player of the week for Aug. 7-13. Encarnacion hit .440 (11-25) with a double, four home runs and eight RBIs last week. His 24 total bases and .960 slugging percentage last week led the NL. He currently has a career-high 10-game hitting streak. Encarnacion is the second Reds player to take P.O.W. honors this year. Brandon Phillips did it April 17-23. :dancingpa BTW, IMO he's lost his E-5 nickname. He's been flat picking it lately.
August 14, 200620 yr BTW, IMO he's lost his E-5 nickname. He's been flat picking it lately. I would still bring Castro in for him late in a game.
August 14, 200620 yr I would still bring Castro in for him late in a game. I wouldn't have a problem with that at all. There are about 5 guys in the league that I wouldn't put Castro in for, Edwin's not one of them.

August 14, 200620 yr I didn't see it. Routine? No, but it should have been a DP. Ball was well hit, and went off his glove...
August 14, 200620 yr No, but it should have been a DP. Ball was well hit, and went off his glove... I do have a little sympathy for those guys at third. Most balls hit down there are pretty dang hot. They don't play defense, they defend themselves.
August 14, 200620 yr No, but it should have been a DP. Ball was well hit, and went off his glove... The one by Rollins? That ball was a screamer, and a tough play for anyone. I thought the scorer should've given him the benefit of the doubt and called it a hit.
August 14, 200620 yr The one by Rollins? That ball was a screamer, and a tough play for anyone. I thought the scorer should've given him the benefit of the doubt and called it a hit. In that situation, you have to make that play. No question about it...
August 14, 200620 yr In that situation, you have to make that play. No question about it... The only reason he even touched the ball was because of where he was playing. One step over toward 3B and it's a clean hit — the ball was on top of him like a shot, and he was lucky to even get glove on it. In a way, he's getting penalized for being in position.
August 14, 200620 yr In that situation, you have to make that play. No question about it... I took one of these in the eye last year. I'm not about to lose my sight.
August 14, 200620 yr Yeah, but just like Phillips, that is some terrible base running by Lieberthal. Are there any fundamentally sound baseball teams anymore? I don't think they work onthem anymore LCRW. The Reds are one of the worst I have watched. Base running is horrible at times.
August 15, 200620 yr EE has carried the team over the past few days and maybe the last few weeks... offense AND defense... yeah I'm serious... go ahead and start the bashing...
August 15, 200620 yr I took one of these in the eye last year. I'm not about to lose my sight. A ball two inches from the ground hit you in the eye. You are even shorter than I remember...
