Reminder...

The Reds actually have Corey Patterson and he’s actually leading off.

This is actually happening.

Curse and drat, he's outmaneuvered us.

by Man Mountain on May 21, 2008 9:41 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

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 0 recs

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)

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.

..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.

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.

I may have to go catch some of the game on HD.

sMarty and tHom are already filling every available second with babble. Although it sound likes George is on fire tonight too.

it isnt yet the 3rd inning

it’ll start filling up a bit, and then start thinning out around the bottom of the 6th. something about the availability of cocaine in the valley or something…

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
