Bruce is dialed in.

They're unconscious. Cairo with his 2nd.

No one forced Sandberg to leave ... he left on his own.

 

Wouldn't you have if you were him?

So, Reds geniuses, how do we all feel about Frazier?

 

I have this odd feeling that he could end up being stereotyped as a utility bench guy if he doesn't get the 3rd base job. With the way the Reds have used him at multiple positions in the minors he could be the heir apparent to Cairo's role.

I think the key to tonight's 13 run outburst was Janish in the 2 hole. He really set the whole lineup up by being placed there. :clap:

I also recommend whoever starts next week's thread include "clueless Dusty" in the title.

I think Jim Day is the key.

Another great offensive showing by the Reds who manage to eke out a come from behind win with only 5 hits resulting in 5 runs. Sure glad there is no problem with the offense on this team. Arroyo pitches valiantly after giving up 2 early runs and suffering an early tweak of his knee thanks to another bad throw by our MVP first baseman. Bruce with the big 3 run bomb in the 8th after the intentional walk to Votto. Maybe Bruce can get hot the next month and keep the ghosts out of the stands at GABP.

 

I'm surprised you didn't complain about them scoring 13 runs on only 13 hits...

Not necessarily ... sometimes guys have to pay their dues, even if they're a Hall of Famer.

Believe it or not I like Jim Day. I definitely like him better than "Mr. Nickname" George Grande.

I thought this might wake you up from your quiet week. There go the averages again. Everytime the offense is stagnant for a week they erupt for just enough hits and runs to run their averages back up to where you "averages" gurus get all excited again. Watch how quickly they go back to their old ways. To be honest with you I would love to see this team start hitting again and it looks like Bruce might be on the verge of having another month like he did earlier. It would make for better entertainment if they could start hitting and score more runs for a change albeit for a run at 2nd place.

You must be a real "company" type guy based on the some of the comments you make.

Sorry I have a life and can't post on here 24/7.

BTW, from what I've seen thus far, Sappelt is not the answer in the leadoff spot. Hopefully he proves me wrong in the next month+ but I doubt he will.

I agree I thought he did a decent job.
