I'm starting to like this Volquez character.  What's his story?  I haven't heard much about him.

Let us know if there is word on what's wrong with him.

He’s the only one who can really flat out hit on this team.

Better be cautionary

I’m not real excited about seeing the all Baker lineup of CP, Hairston, and Bako

by chesirecat on May 13, 2008 8:43 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

i guess CP is a better sub than Griffey

because Griffey is not as used to coming off the bench cold.

Indeed

That was tied for 4th (I think) for most by a Red in a single season.

by Brendanukkah on May 13, 2008 8:46 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

tied for 3rd most

behind The Schnozz with 30 in 1938 and Casey with 27 in 2005.

ground ball to Votto

he looked at second but didn’t have a play and by the time he went to first, it was too late. Amezaga can flat out run.
