well since that inning did not go as planned, I looked at the 2009 Free agent list and
there are not too many outfielder bats to covet for the Reds (other than our whole starting outfield). Here is the list of Center fielders, does anyone want any of these guys?
Rocco Baldelli (27)
Mike Cameron (36) – $10MM club option for ‘09 with a $750K buyout
Jim Edmonds (39)
Jacque Jones (34)
Mark Kotsay (33)
Corey Patterson (29)

is Rocco Baldelli still alive?
if not, we could use him for spare parts for our shortstops

I have too, he is a total non-base clogger
also that Jim Edmonds sure makes some great catches over his shoulder, despite the fact he almost could play 2nd base the way he positions himself in the outfield.

I'm happy
but the only reason I joined the party tonight was to bitch about the 8th inning. That shit was almost Bah Boone level ignorance. Bunting Votto? Pinch hitting Valentin from the right side for Bruce? I couldn’t believe my eyes.

I will never agree with you on the bunt
never. You are handing them an out for some mirage of an increased chance to score. And, he should know his players. Hell even Chris Welch knows that.

thats a good point about know his players
but if you have some one to bunt you do do it there. I wonder if there are any stats on the chances of scoring from 3rd w/ 1 out as opposed to 2nd with 1 out. Im pretty sure it will greatly favor 3rd w/ 1 out.

See below.
I think the bunt made sense in the abstract, percentage-wise, but based on Votto not knowing how to bunt, it was a bad move.
Hey Dusty...Are you sure you're OK? You might need an MRI.

True
Still, it’s like throwing a handicapped kid under a bus. You know he has no chance, so why are you doing it?
(Man, I wish this were 20 years ago so I coulda said “it’s like throwin’ a retard under the bus.” Lines like that draw nothing but boos these days.)

There is a run expectancy matrix somewhere
And you mean 2nd with 0 outs. Cuz yeah, with outs being equal, I’d rather have someone on third than second.

The bunt makes sense
if you’ve got someone who can bunt. Like Slyde (I think) said, you have to know your personnel. And if someone on your team can’t bunt, either a) coach them how to do it; or b) don’t ask them to bunt with the game on the line.

Agreed.
I agreed with the bunt in the abstract, before learning that Joey Votto does not bunt well at all.
Now, if only Dustyevsky (agreed spelling) had only thought of bringing in Bronson Arroyo to do the bunting there, that would have been truly brilliant, then LLM could have stayed in to play first.

That's a little unfair in this case
At least it’s two teams that are competing for first place in the division, and only separated by half a game. As baseball series go, it’s one with the higher stakes right now.
by Brendanukkah on Jun 30, 2008 10:04 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
well, they are the two best records in the AL playing for the division lead
I’ll give them a break on that one

questino of the night
did the Reds win in sptie of Dusty, or is he really a genius we won’t understand for the next 30 years when history can properly examine him in prospective? Like George W. Bush.

What pisses me off
is that his rampant and unrelenting incompetence has made my “I Still Hate George Bush” shirt obsolete. It’s like wearing a shirt that says, “I think the Beatles were better than Ringo’s All-Starr Band.” Well, yeah…

what pisses me off
was people were worried that Kerry didn’t have the ability to be President. Not that he would have been great by any means, but he couldn’t be worse than we got right now. Kinda like replacing Josh Fogg with Matt Maloney.
