May 27, 200818 yr You also can't blame one player for the Reds woes when it has been pretty obvious the pitching has been the weak link of the team all year. Actually the staff has been bolstered. Volquez, Cueto, Coco. All new names. The field players are as equally responsible for this years record. Do you have any idea how many games that the Reds have scored 3 or less runs? Blame it in one guy, no. But he gets a lot of credit when they win, like the Reds are "9-4 when Dunn homers."

I never said anything about the starters. I personally think this year's rotation is one of the best we've seen in quite some time. But there have been many times this year where the middle relief has blown LEADS that the offense produced for them.

The bullpen blowing leads has been few and far between this year, especially compared to years past. Up until Sunday that is. :lol:

Do you not remember the infamous 8th ininngs?

Care to guess what their record is in those 24 games?

There is no logical statment anyone can make saying pitching is the main problem, the problem is no one gets on, and no one moves them over and in when they do get on. Now the pitching as far as bullpen could be better, but is in no way the "obvious" problem.

Now that's logical. :lol:

But we are small market and can't afford a player like him for what he does. :thumb: Good try.

Yeah I pretty much do, and you can't seem to make up your mind. :sssh: Well, I'm sure there will be those who disagree, but I hope Our new GM has seen all he's needed to. It's time to package Dunn, and get something for him, IF he even can. Either way, we have a kid or two ready to fill his shoes. Come on Walt, get ur dunn. 99.9% of smart Cincinnati fans are with you.:lol: Needs to happen badly. Also, with a few tweaks, the future might be very close.
May 27, 200818 yr Dude, they don't get it. All they see is 40/100/100. Yippee!! You're absoultey right. We don't get it. We simply can't understand how anyone who claims to have some baseball smarts, can't realize the importance of those numbers. Gee Golly Marty. All he does is get on base, score runs, and knock in runs. Can't he do anything else?
