well, his performance in this game

 His amazing suckitude in general, the fact that the white people who worship him are trying to run an actual power hitting third baseman out of town for a utility player. His AB’s in this game are embarrassing

That's racist

I’m white and I don’t believe he should run Edwin out of town. Those people are stupid. it’s not rosales’ fault there are people like that.

At the same time, there are too many of those people in Cincinnati.

i dunno

yesterday i saw one ballplayer signing autographs before the game. guess who? i appreciate his hustle and he seems genuinely thrilled to be in the big leagues. that rings loudly for cincinnatians and THATS why ballplayers with limited skill who bust ass are appreciated.

by obc2 on Jun 7, 2009 5:56 PM EDT up reply actions  

It's not racist; it's a sweeping generalization.

And, I stand by it. For obc2, who cares who sign autographs? The amopunt of time focused in Cincinnati on who doesn’t sign autographs or who does is one of the sillier preoccupations of a fan base, which seems less concerned about winning baseball than with the idea that one of the anointed athletes touched them.

I have never understood the fascination with autographs, but I really don’t get how it changes fans’ ideas of which players add value. Adam is a decent utility player, but the idea he should play any more than twice a week, because he signed an autograph?

PS obc, I think that probably sounded like I was trying to smack you down or something. I didn’t write it that way. I wrote with more exasperation than anything else.

minor league has only the 7-day DL

Even if a player is expected to be out the entire season, he goes on the 7-day DL.

While driving home this late afternoon as the game was winding down, in order to hear the final 2 innings I was forced to listen to the radio

WLW that is. sMarty didn’t say much,,he couldn’t get a word in edgewise while tHom ranted and ranted about how terrible Rosales is, how awful the game was being managed, and what a terrible team,the Red are, how Mike Lincoln should be shot on Fountain Square etc etc. Certainly he some very valid points, but he really was ramming it over and over and over into the ground..Now I may be one game off but it appears that the Reds are tied for 3rd, and have 28 – 26 record…not bad with one of your starting pitchers out, and two of your starting infielders on the DL and Jay Bruce learning the ropes, a catcher at first and a nerd at 3B and some late ST pickups in the outfield..

 tHom if you ever read RR I’d like to say, seriously now..grow the fuck up. Be a professional, stop laying allyour anger, arrogance and insecurities on us fans, I for one have no reason to respect your opinion at all, I just want to hear about the game with minimal editorializing …. Your Dad ran Dunn out, you my friend could run this whole team out of town.

Oh and tHong…may I call you tHong ? Shut up and let the game come to you for once.

Its been pretty awful lately. Sad is probably a better term.

We need Votto back in the worst way.

I tried to root for Rosales because I liked his hustle. But his lack of talent has cast a shadow on his blue collar work ethic. Rosales, Janish, Lincoln, need to be in Louisville.

Gonzales sucks bag too! I am still pissed over the Keppinger move. Imagine having him in the 2 spot ahead of Votto.

As it pains me to say. I can’t wait to get captain inconsistent (EE) back at 3rd. Atleast he can make contact with the bat.

by Nasty Nati on Jun 8, 2009 3:10 AM EDT reply actions  

Janish doesn't need to be in Louisville

He needs to play more often.

He’s hitting .283 and OPSing .353, which is not bad for a backup infielder who gets to play about once a week. And he’s probably the best defensive SS in the system.

I don’t expect Dusty to bench A-Gon for Janish, but he should let Janish play more often. A-Gon won’t be back next year; they might as well see what they have in Janish. If it’s a backup infielder who can also catch and pitch, well, that’s useful. If it’s a starting SS, at least for a year or two, even better.
