I think he's trying to over compensate for the lack of offense
...or it could all be on Dusty.
Like I said, they’re trying too hard to make something happen…
by iamwallaman on May 4, 2008 1:51 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
But I thought the team looked flat?
I’m confused. Are they trying too hard or trying too little?

This is interesting (now that the game is out of reach)
The Braves booth is sort of having a passive aggressive, good natured argument.
Ron Gant talking about how the Braves dynasty was built on sacrifice hitting and stolen bases, PBP guy pointing out that they out-homered and out-slugged everyone.
It’s been going on 3 innings.

It takes both
Both schools tend to cling to their ideal as the crux.
You need to be able to generate runs when the HRs don’t come but you can’t depend on small ball to win you most games.
Our offense does neither well.
by iamwallaman on May 4, 2008 2:42 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
It's actually not a war of schools
it started with Gant saying that the Braves were built on speed and small ball. PBP guy was just pointing out that hey actually knocked the piss out of the ball. He was just appealing to empiricism while Gant was talking out of his ass.

I understand
it was just interesting to hear someone challenge a player (who was on that team) that rather than “not winning with the home run” that they, in fact, hit a lot of home runs.

I blame Dunn
I don’t want to watch him anymore. I’d rather watch Jason Ellison. I’m sure he could hit .200 and walk a few times. Amd play better defense. I don’t want to watch him anymore.

a few times is kind of a straw man, no?

I’m at the front of the line when it comes to my frustration with Dunn this year, but you’re just making wild claims.
By all means vent, but I really hope you don’t actually believe what you say.

wild claims
I’m not claiming anything. I don’t want to watch him anymore. We’ve been losing with this guy for seven years now. Unfortunatly we need to blow this team up and start over, keeping a small nucleous. Dunn should not be part of what we build on. .
by Mutaman on May 4, 2008 3:47 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
You claimed that you'd rather watch Jason Ellison play
And that you play better left field defense. I’d call those claims pretty wild.

You even distinctly mentioned that you’d like Ellison to hit .200 and walk a few times. You’d honestly rather have him in the lineup than Dunn?

because most re-builds start with trading away your best hitter?
who’s only 28 years old?
by Nick Papageorgio on May 4, 2008 3:50 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Okay, fine
but while he may be the face of the Reds losing, he’s not anywhere near the main culprit.
If he goes, the Reds will have a hard time replacing his run production. Jason Ellison might be easier for you to watch, but only the thing the Reds gain by that substitution is the pleasure of “Mutaman.”

He's been the Reds best and most consistent offensive player
since ‘02. Make of that what you will.
And before you start spouting batting average at me, please read through the Red Reporter Wiki to get up to speed on this all too frequent and predictable argument.
