May 10, 200719 yr I don't think he'll be here next year -- I think he'll be in the AL. I guess he is second, although many would take Freel over him as an all-around offensive player. I wouldn't take Freel over EE. So the Reds second best right handed hitter is in AAA. That makes sense. What kind of trade value do you think he has right now? Hopefully they don't trade him for bullpen help that doesn't really help.
May 10, 200719 yr That might make me watch again.......... Yeah, like Hockey fights and train-wrecks...you just can't look away. :bunny:
May 10, 200719 yr It is freaking 7-5 now -- that bases loaded, 1 out, DP that Phillips hit into is going to come back to haunt. Harang has been oh so hittable this year.
May 10, 200719 yr Harang sure hasn't pitched like an ace this year. His ERA is nearly 5.00 after today's performance. :scared:
May 10, 200719 yr His ERA is nearly 5.00 after today's performance. :scared: It's 5.11 at the moment to be exact.
May 10, 200719 yr E-5's problems are much bigger than being just mental. This should be good for him. Go back down there and work on your swing.
May 10, 200719 yr E-5's problems are much bigger than being just mental. This should be good for him. Go back down there and work on your swing. Anytime a player at that level has a problem...it's mental. Physically they're as good as it gets. His swing is off because of his mental state. My guess is he's pressing too much and tensing up his muscles which creates different muscle memory than how you swing in a cage or BP. Throwing helmets and not running out pop ups confirms that. Baseball IS more of a mental game than any other...except golf...

Baseball IS more of a mental game than any other... He has NO CLUE when he is at the plate. He is up there consistantly swinging at balls at his feet and popping the ball up. I think he needs some work done on his swing.
