Stubbs started and they won. Firmly in 4th place, no danger of falling into 5th anytime soon :tu :gary :D :noon |

I really want to like they guy, b/c he's a great personality in the clubhouse, but these mistakes have just been boneheaded. Sticking with guys way too long b/c he's a players' manager is another thing that irks me. Mismanagement, plus the baserunning errors by the new guys and Stubbs, and the problem this team has hitting with .risp is what is killing us right now. Don't get me wrong, I'm not placing total blame on Dusty. He does a lot of things right, but his lineups suck and his hunches never play out. I'm getting fed up. |
Re: Red's Fans Check in
And another thing - Rolen needs to go. His shoulder is killing us right now. Let Cairo get some games in at third.
You'd think I'd be more positive right now after the Reds won another series against the Cards, but we just looked bad in all three games. |

Not trying to start an argument here. Just some good old baseball discussion.:) Another loss for the Redlegs. Last 2 game win streak was June 15. I'm starting to think it's officially over for us. |
Re: Red's Fans Check in
12 days to the deadline, are the Reds going to be movers? If they stay with the team they have they are likely going to finish no better than third in this division (assuming the Pirates don't get better). I think the only team they can match up decent with is the Pirates, but all the rest of those series are in Pittsburgh. The Cards and Brewers are clearly better teams right now, even if they have the winning record against the Cards. :sh
The best offense in baseball (Or atleast the Reds broadcast team would lead you to believe)??? Why does Sean Casey seem to be the only announcer that realizes this team is not as great as the rest of the team make them out to be? :hm |
Re: Red's Fans Check in
The best offensive team in baseball is a misleading stat, but the announcers (other than Marty) see it as we are on top. We can't score for three games, then on the fourth game we score 7-10 runs. Those few games inflate that stat and make us look a lot better than what they are.
Right now the biggest thing I'm worried about is hitting with risp. I wonder how many baserunners we've left on base this year. I'm willing to bet we lead in that category as well.:r |

The problem is it seems like they (Dusty or someone higher up) are forcing young players down our throats that aren't good because they have no other options (Stubbs, Bruce when he is slumping, Bailey, Chapman, Volquez) and they are 'homegrown' because they don't want to be wrong. Where they have high priced older players, they are forced to play them because they 'owe' them (Rolen, Gomes, Renteria, Arroyo). :td They need to be making moves at the deadline. I like Cozart, but their outfield talent is so sub par that they could change 2 of 3 of them for a huge upgrade. We'll see if they do anything. :hm |
Re: Red's Fans Check in
As long as they don't get rid of Bruce, Phillips, and Cueto, I don't care who we trade right now. Votto's gonna be gone after 2013 (I'm pretty sure), Stubbs sucks, Heisey and Cozart are too new to judge yet (so I could care less), Rolen's through, Gomes sucks, Lewis is nothing but a backup/bench player, Hernandez is gonna be gone this year too. Oh yeah, and FUGG Chapman and his $30 million. The jury's still out, but he looks like a bust right now.
Bruce is still working on things, but he's slowly improving, Phillips is the heart of this team, and Cueto is our ace. |

Re: Red's Fans Check in
Stubbs sucks :banger :bh :td :(
0-4 2K's, 5 LOB and they lost 1-0. Would be nice to get some production out of the leadoff spot in a 1 run game :sh |

Good news! I hear Atlanta has an interest in Gomes. I'd trade him for a bucket of balls and a new net for an L-frame.:) |
