Looks like we have four quality starting pitchers, with Homer and Maloney in the wings.

by obc2 on Apr 6, 2008 2:17 PM EDT 0 recs

How 'bout Homer as a potential fifth pitcher?

I blew my own mind.

by Brendanukkah on Apr 6, 2008 2:18 PM EDT up 0 recs

did you have to remove a rib to do that?

I've got a plan and it's as hot as my pants...

by Man Mountain on Apr 6, 2008 2:19 PM EDT up 0 recs

Yoga classes for three years.

This is for me!

i havent given up on belisle

Marty may have a shirt on, but Billy Beane just ripped his off and is squeezing his nipples. - Brendan's ukkah

Belisle in the pen

I think he is an adequate starting pitcher on a bad team. his place on a good team is in the pen.

by obc2 on Apr 6, 2008 2:20 PM EDT up 0 recs

you think Maloney

ever gets above AAA?

I've got a plan and it's as hot as my pants...

by Man Mountain on Apr 6, 2008 2:18 PM EDT up 0 recs

definitely

Thompson, LeClure are also on the radar....albeit nowhere near EV, Homer and Cueto.

Enjoy this gang, this is a first for me as a Reds fan. PITCHING PROSPECTS!~!~!

by Brendanukkah on Apr 6, 2008 2:18 PM EDT up 0 recs

I don't like

this newer, more aggressive Votto

Less called strike 3's, more swinging strike 3's at pitches way out of the zone!!!!

of edinson's 6 strikeouts

3 have come off the slider, 2 off the fastball and only one off the changeup

Marty may have a shirt on, but Billy Beane just ripped his off and is squeezing his nipples. - Brendan's ukkah

How 'bout Bako?

Up that trade value, big guy.

by Brendanukkah on Apr 6, 2008 2:22 PM EDT 0 recs

trade value

surprised all the sabermetrics on here havent been calling for him to hit leadoff.

by JoseRijoIsGod on Apr 6, 2008 2:23 PM EDT up 0 recs

his career .305 on-base doesn't really lend itself to that

Marty may have a shirt on, but Billy Beane just ripped his off and is squeezing his nipples. - Brendan's ukkah

by boobs on Apr 6, 2008 2:23 PM EDT up 0 recs

Well,

Higher than Patterson.

by Brendanukkah on Apr 6, 2008 2:24 PM EDT up 0 recs

Is it still higher than Patterson after that hit

by Brian B on Apr 6, 2008 2:26 PM EDT up 0 recs

you sabermetric

I've got a plan and it's as hot as my pants...

by Man Mountain on Apr 6, 2008 2:24 PM EDT up 0 recs

...regression.

...to...the...mean.....argh.

Stop. Bunting.

We are very, very bad at it.

by Brendanukkah on Apr 6, 2008 2:22 PM EDT 0 recs

Bunting is pretty frickin difficult, unless you practice it a lot....then its not so bad. But i think it takes a certain amount of guts and determination to be a good bunter. The chutzpah of an assassin.

by obc2 on Apr 6, 2008 2:24 PM EDT up 0 recs

If he can't get the bunt down

You have to get him out of there. Get somebody in there who can.

by andromache on Apr 6, 2008 2:25 PM EDT up 0 recs

whaddaya know, he got the bunt down.

guess he must be clutch. Does volquez play 3rd base?

hey, volquez got a haircut

Marty may have a shirt on, but Billy Beane just ripped his off and is squeezing his nipples. - Brendan's ukkah

No, hair is the secret to success

Look at the Red Sox. Papelbon's mohawk. Manny's do being Manny's do.

I thought Feliz was good with the glove?

by Nick Papageorgio on Apr 6, 2008 2:24 PM EDT 0 recs

Welsh

GREAT point re: Felix should have let that bunt roll foul. Most passive fans of the game wouldnt have noticed that, and THAT is why i absolutely think Welsh is an asset to the Reds broadcast team.

by obc2 on Apr 6, 2008 2:26 PM EDT up 0 recs

Tell us again about the changeup, Chris!

Does it go slower than the fastball?

by Brian B on Apr 6, 2008 2:28 PM EDT up 0 recs

You should see him challenge someone to a duel.

by Brendanukkah on Apr 6, 2008 2:26 PM EDT up 0 recs

patterson!

this guy is fucking awesome. i dont know what all you sabermetrics have been screaming about

Marty may have a shirt on, but Billy Beane just ripped his off and is squeezing his nipples. - Brendan's ukkah

by boobs on Apr 6, 2008 2:26 PM EDT 0 recs

Yeah get your heads out of your calculators!

This guy sweats and has guile, and the calming eye of a leadoff man!

by Nick Papageorgio on Apr 6, 2008 2:26 PM EDT up 0 recs

IM still campaigning for my VSCRAP stat category

And by my calculations hes looking pretty good.

by The Crushinator on Apr 6, 2008 2:31 PM EDT up 0 recs

are we seeing BP v 2.0?

maybe, just maybe, Patterson is going to take one step up the development ladder.

by obc2 on Apr 6, 2008 2:27 PM EDT up 0 recs

Decent start to the season. I'm happy with his production so far, just wish he wasn't the leadoff guy

by Brendanukkah on Apr 6, 2008 2:27 PM EDT up 0 recs

Harrumph.

Corey is a MLB player

he just isnt a Hitter.

by obc2 on Apr 6, 2008 2:29 PM EDT up 0 recs

what a great start for Patterson.

by Blue on Apr 6, 2008 2:27 PM EDT 0 recs

Did he just say a hitter the caliber of corey patterson?

What does that mean... hes a sarcastic ass.

He means barrel diameter.

You know, in the most not-gay way possible.

Howard's taking his ball and going home.

by Brendanukkah on Apr 6, 2008 2:29 PM EDT up 0 recs

Heady play!

just like Hopper putting the ball in Farney's glove post collision.

by obc2 on Apr 6, 2008 2:30 PM EDT up 0 recs

Shoe polish-gate?

Ya Marsh is a great asset.

by JoseRijoIsGod on Apr 6, 2008 2:31 PM EDT up 0 recs

they actually had a shot

of the ball in the stands with shoe polish on it. investigative journalism!

Always shine your shoes?

by Brian B on Apr 6, 2008 2:32 PM EDT up 0 recs

We should get Dusty to shine his shoes

that way we can see exactly where and when he is kicking us in the teeth.

failing that, throw it to some fat dude

Thanks, Welsh
