It's so stupid
that for basically the same flyball out, Dunn gets credited an out, while EdE gets a sac fly.

You want batters to get some kind of stat for advancing the runner?
Maybe call it, a productive out? Seems kind of like the same category as a “hold” to me.

I don't think that's the case
Zambrano is probably better than any of the bats on their bench. He’s hitting around .350. Plus the Cubs are losing, so they wouldn’t send up a guy just to make an out to prove a point. This way Lou sends up a legit threat, and still gets to preserve his bench for the later innings. It’s a smart move.
Plus Big Z grounded out to Arroyo, so look who gets the last laugh.

I, for one, would much rather move Ross
and finish out the season with Bako. Bako has been the better option for us behind the plate (and at the plate) all year.
by Brendanukkah on Jul 10, 2008 4:07 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Although, given that he's performed better, I would be ok moving Bako if we got something better for him
Neither one is the answer back there (and don’t even mention Javy), but the biggest thing Bako has going for him is the way he handles the young pitchers. They’re comfortable throwing to him.

If only they had eight Froppersons, they would score more consistently. As long as they’re not hitting one HR every inning, or however that faulty logic went.

What is the best 3D view on Gameday?
Do any of you use the 3D Gameday from MLB.com to follow the game? I think the best view is to position yourself directly behind the plate and then tilt the field so it is coming out of the screen straight at you. That way, you can see the pitches come in as if you are the hitter.
Has this been discussed?

I think that should probably be it for Bronson
I like our starters to go more than five innings, but he’s looked pretty hittable and has over 100 pitches. Of course this means he’ll probably start the next inning.

I got taken to task by Hal McCoy today
So, I posted a comment on Hal’s blog today which read as follows:
“Mr. McCoy, I’m hoping that you, out of all the journalists that cover the Reds, would be the one to finally ask Mr. Baker why in the hell Griffey is still batting third. Has he ever offered a reason why the team is in the bottom of both leagues from that spot in the order, aside from the fact that Junior was great once upon a time? I am baffled, as I know many, many others are. Please ask him. Please.”
To which I got a surprising e-mail reply:
“Matthew: I’m disappointed in that if you are on my blog I assume you also read what I write. I wrote once early in the spring and once not too long ago about Griffey batting third (one was on a recent blog). Baker said it is out of respect for who he is and what he has accomplished and the fact he believes Griffey will hit.
All I can do is report that – that’s my job. I can’t argue with him or point out that he is no longer the Griffey of the past. That’s not my job nor my place. By saying what you said on my blog it makes me look bad, like I’m not doing my job. And if you had paid attention you would have known the answer. And all the bloggers who keep harping on it can harp all they want. Baker isn’t going to change it.
Take care, all the best.
Hal”

I guess he's got a point
He asked Baker why Griffey was batting third, and Dusty gave him an idiotic answer. I guess it’s not Hal’s place to say, “Follow up query: Dusty, are you aware that you are a raging asshat?” But I also don’t think that your comment makes Hal look bad. Sportswriters are our conduit to the players (and in this case, managers), but it’s not a two way street. We can’t have Hal take out our frustrations and take Dusty to task. He can only tell us what Dusty has to say about the situation.

He's kind of being a prick here.
Couple of counterpoints:
1. Just because you’re on his blog means you have to read everything he writes? Now that’s just a bit presumptuous isn’t it? It’s not like he’s the Apostle Paul or something.
2. He asked Baker in the spring, when Griffey had not produced any results yet in 2008, coming off a season in which he hit .277/.372/.496 with 30 HR and 93 RBI. Who wouldn’t bat him third coming out of spring training? The real question is, now that he’s batting 240/.354/.411, why have him still bat third? That is a valid question now, with more than 1/2 a season gone by now and circumstances being vastly different, even though he asked Dusty in the spring.
3. He isn’t doing his job, because of #2.

And Lotzkar with a solid five innings.
Stubbs bumped up to Chattanoogie went 4-for-5 (and 1 was for extra bases!), and is hitting a Bruce-like .800. Promote him again! Sean Henry keeps hitting…
Pettyjohn does his thing – 7.1 innings, 24 hits (not really, but close), 2 Ks, 0 BBs, 0 runs.

I am not a huge fan of Dave Ross by any means, and I hate to say this on the aftermath of a big game for him, but it’s clear to me that he is our best option at catcher in the lineup. Dusty needs to look at BB-Ref to see that plain as day. Bako’s OPS+ is like 74 and it’d be even lower if you take away his first month… Ross atleast has an OPS+ over 100, and he deserves more playing time…
