The Reds have to get out of Los Angeles with a win. There is no debate about this. Dusty, please stop putting 3 virtually automatic outs in the 1-3 spots in the lineup. Please.

looks like you didn’t get your wish… three virtually automatic outs at the top of the lineup
"I never should have given up the animation rights."
Reminder...
The Reds actually have Corey Patterson and he’s actually leading off.
This is actually happening.
Curse and drat, he's outmaneuvered us.

For as much as Patterson, Griffey, and Phillips are untouchable anchors
Baker kind of yanks Dunn, Edwin, and Votto around the order, seemingly willy-nilly.
by Brendanukkah on May 21, 2008 9:43 PM EDT up reply actions
Grif's been hitting better recently
Patterson is not an answer
Jerry Jr. Should be on the bench as a utility player
Bat Grif 2nd, EdE 3rd, Jannish 8th…..Oh well
And remember the Reds have Dusty Baker and he’s actually leading off (see next post)

ross goes 2-3 and then sits the bench

DC United lost to Toronto FC for the first time ever tonight
DC is currently in last place in the Eastern Conference by a lot. Since they were supposed to be the team I root for that wins things, we’ll have to go to the backup plan. Come on, you Reds! Beat these Dodgers and score some runs for Cueto!
I think Dusty uses a strategy that i use in MLB 2k7
Bench all your good players, sim through a season so you get some kick ass draft picks. DRAFT PIIIIIICKKSS, i lovem, Go Dusty!

This can't be...
There is no way Fay can spell and pronounce those two words. Not in the same sentence anyway.
I think Bruce
will be up either Memorial Day (an off day), or next Tuesday before the Pirates game. Way to juice some ticket sales for a crappy series against the Pirates.

that Bruce will be called up after the Reds return to Cincy…that could mean May 25 or 26

im a fool
it still surprises me to see the likes of Corey F. Patterson leading off. i mean, i just cant imagine anyone being so stupid as Dusty is, running him out there time after time. i just wonder if im the only one. does anyone, ANYone, in that clubhouse walk up to Dusty and say, “WTF dude? CoPat is a loser.” and it will still surprise me when he ends up on this list.

true
perhaps I’ve always given him a pass due to his rep, kind of like every time someone has handed me a crappy glass of expensive wine.
he's fine
But he’s just of a different era. His commentary has an air of finality about it that can be irksome when you know he’s not quite correct.

I hear him differently. Maybe it's my age (though I'm not exactly an old-timer)..
..but when I listen to him I often assume he’s yanking chains and blowing sunshine up skirts and stuff.
I’ve never had the feeling that you’re supposed to take him too seriously. But I can understand how with so many people worshipping him, one might assume that he is to be listened to reverently.

Good point
A lot of the old-time guys don’t seem to have the ego the new guys do. Current company excluded, of course.
"Got a bump on the ole noggin, but otherwise god. And I get a new vehicle probably, w00t!"
I mean
stuff like the Reds “rely” on the home run instead of trying to manufacture runs. I haven’t checked the Reds attempted bunts numbers in a while but it was way up there a few weeks ago.
I’d been told that he avoids some of the hoary saws so beloved by other baseball guys. So far he’s hit most of them as far as I can tell.
That said, he’s a man of his era and a great one from what I know. He knows more about baseball than I do by a long shot.

and there you go... errors. the only way to determine defensive excellence
What do you mean, "blank slate"?
but Votto leads NL firstbasemen in out-of-zone plays
his athleticism is impressive, and he should be able to clean up on some of the bobbled balls and missed digs.

He's an athlete, no doubt
but he has questionable 1st base fundamentals and his arm is pretty erratic. I envision some EE-like bashing in the coming years from the local media
well of course
