HammerTime Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 http://frontier.cincinnati.com/blogs/redsinsider/ Ryan Freel isn't in the lineup for tonight's game with Cardinals. I approached him for a "Gee, you're hitting well" note. I got a little more of a story. Freel is angry and frustrated. "I'm trying to be careful about what I say,” Freel said. “I've really got nothing good to say right now. There was a lot of stuff said that misinterpreted or mis-communicated this offseason." "It would have stunned a lot of people if they heard what was said about me. Apparently, I said I couldn't play every day to the manager. Apparently, I told him that this offseason. That would have never come out of mouth." Therein lies the problem. Freel thinks that Dusty Baker misunderstanding of something Freel said led to some of the moves the Reds made -- like bringing in Corey Patterson to play center field and leadoff. "I talked to Wayne (Krivsky) to tell him I didn't say that," Freel said. "I would never in a million years say that. They gave me a two-year ($7 million) deal. I don't think it was to do this. It's frustrating. I can't explain it. There’s a lot going on. It's a shame that I had to address it like this. I didn't want to get the media involved." Freel and Baker have talked Doesn't really seem like Dusty cares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greendevil Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Wow... With the recent comments from the Reds I can't tell if its from the Reds or if they have been talking to Chad Johnson too much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nkuclubbaseball19 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I thought Ross would catch for Bronson. You have to go with the hot hand and Bako is hitting darn well. But I'm glad Coffey is gone he was a waste of a roster spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nkuclubbaseball19 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 RBI single by Dunn. Phillips was stealing third on the pitch and Dunn put it up the middle. Wild pitch, Dunn to second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
