June 22, 201115 yr ^BP took C.C. out to dinner last night. Guy I work with went down to the hotel the Yankees are staying in and met Swisher, Cano, Jones, and C.C. Said Swisher asked him if he'd like to join him in a dip. :lol:
June 22, 201115 yr Mike Leake will face Freddy Garcia in the afternoon game, while Johnny Cueto will oppose Brian Gordon in the 7:10 p.m. start. Mike Leave Vs Freddy Garcia afternoon.... Johnny Cueto Vs Brian Gordon tonight.... Reds better get at least 1 of these games.
June 22, 201115 yr Say what you want about Theo Epstein's merry band of stat geeks and number crunchers but the teams like the Red Sox, that stay ahead of the curve and think outside of traditional mindsets are experiencing a huge amount of success. I can't argue with their results on this, Boston after a rough start is having one heckuva season.................Now, AJG, could your BoSox please go on a long losing streak?? At least untill the Yankees can get their pitching healthy or make a move or two to boost the staff!! :lol: Thats o.k.I know the answer. Your guys are just like that.
June 22, 201115 yr It allows them to overcome mistakes in judgement or injuries, but it isn't their fault they can spend more money than others. If MLB ever wants to regain fans in small markets they need a real salary cap. I'm not BLAMING them. I'm saying it's easy to attribute the success to Theo and his geeks while at the same time they're outspending every team except one. As someone else said their wallet allows them to make mistakes. Most teams do not. Again, not blaming the BoSox. They're doing what the Reds would do if they had the money.
June 22, 201115 yr Anyone going to tonight's game? If so let me know, I will be in attendance. I'll be there...
June 22, 201115 yr Fred Lewis LF Brandon Phillips 2B Joey Votto 1B Jay Bruce RF Scott Rolen 3B Drew Stubbs CF Edgar Renteria SS Ryan Hanigan C Mike Leake P Not sure how I feel about Stubbs in the 6 hole....I think I like it.
June 22, 201115 yr Fred Lewis LF Brandon Phillips 2B Joey Votto 1B Jay Bruce RF Scott Rolen 3B Drew Stubbs CF Edgar Renteria SS Ryan Hanigan C Mike Leake P Not sure how I feel about Stubbs in the 6 hole....I think I like it. I like it but not with Lewis leading off. :lol:
June 22, 201115 yr I like it but not with Lewis leading off. :lol: What other options do they have? Phillips? Heisey? :puke:
June 22, 201115 yr What other options do they have? Phillips? Heisey? :puke: Not Heisey, he is making it pretty clear he isn't an everyday player. I'd let Leake lead off. I know he hasn't had a chance to play everyday a lot but when he has the results aren't very good.
June 22, 201115 yr Looks like Bailey and Chapman are both ready to go. Bailey threw 6 innings for Louisville last night. Got his pitch count up to 103. Chapman threw another scoreless inning last night for Louisville with no walks. That ought to give the Reds a much needed shot in the arm.
June 22, 201115 yr Not Heisey, he is making it pretty clear he isn't an everyday player. I'd let Leake lead off. I know he hasn't had a chance to play everyday a lot but when he has the results aren't very good. I agree. Plus Heisey has never met a first pitch fastball he doesn't love. Not exactly a stellar quality for a leadoff guy.
June 22, 201115 yr Heisey Career stats... As a starter... 234 AB 6 HR 24 RBI .218/.294/.342 As a sub 89 AB 7 HR 20 RBI .360/.406/.652
