August 4, 201016 yr I think the Reds have found their everyday CF...Another multi hit game for Heisey. I thought the same thing about Bruce when he was here for a month.
August 4, 201016 yr I thought the same thing about Bruce when he was here for a month. Except Heisey has done it all year long whenever he's been called upon. Which, one could easily argue, is a lot harder to do than when you know you're going to be out there every game.
August 4, 201016 yr Its certainly going to be hard to justify putting Stubbs back in as the everyday CF. No question. What makes me go "hmmmm" is if we bring Dickerson back up & he puts up good numbers. Will Dusty bench Bruce? Offensively, he just isn't cutting it.
August 4, 201016 yr I thought the same thing about Bruce when he was here for a month. Good point. Also Stubbs had a good month or so where he looked like he figured it out. Heisey may cool off, but it'll be nice to use him for a week or more to find out if he can give them more than Stubbs did. I really hope Dickerson gets some time too.
August 4, 201016 yr Atta boy Janish....3-run bomb....9-1 Reds 3-3 with 4 RBI today....4-7 thus far. Let's hope this continues for as long as Cabrera is on the shelf. Please Dusty leave him right where he is in the order though. I think he can feel a lot more comfortable right where he is.
August 4, 201016 yr Nice to see Janish proving me wrong. That is the perfect spot for him in the order.
August 4, 201016 yr Career .311 RISP avg. Lets compare: Votto .322 Chipper .301 Jeter .306 Mauer .346 Albert .344 So you're still saying he wasn't good with RISP? What is good? Let's put this to sleep forever. It appears that I was wrong in using Casey as an example here. I don't know who I was thinking of but here were his stats with and without risp. Thanks for the defense though.

August 4, 201016 yr Nice to see Janish proving me wrong. That is the perfect spot for him in the order. I completely agree!

We've all been there where our brain doesn't always match the facts. To the bigger issue of comparing RISP to overall average IMO its a mistake to say that a player is significantly less successful in RISP than overall. Why? Math. Use Casey in 2004. 571 ABs and he hit about .320. His RISP was , yes, lower at about .304. The problem with using the averages and saying that RISP is significantly lower is that a swing of only 2 more hits puts him at the .320 level RISP. When you're using a small number as your divisor it doesn't take much to move it up OR down in big moves.
