Da Reds thread

Narron is done we all know that, but i think they will give krivsky more time because he has made some good-great moves and i think he has learned his lesson about getting old, overrated, overpaid, worn out relievers.
 
"Bill Bray threw an inning at extended spring training today in Sarasota. The left-handed reliever threw 24 pitches, 17 for strikes, and his velocity was between 89-91 mph. He will throw another inning Monday."

Sweet, that means they are that much closer to getting rid of The Todd (or any other reliever).

I have had enough of this crap.
1. Hatteberg is fat and slow. Try B Phil in the 1 hole. He doesnt have the ideal OBP for a lead off hiter but dang is hatteberg really the best option we have?
2. Gonzo batting 5th has to be a joke that isnt funny. He is doing a hell of a lot better than expected but damn thats way to high.
3. How much longer do we have to deal with the Dunn batting 6th crap with no protection around him. Put him 4th behind Griffey or Hamilton so they will have to give him something to hit.
4. Keppinger at third is stupid. I know Freel is not available tonight but dang Narron, do you really think he will be better than Edwin.
5. One good thing, Ross is a hell of a lot better at calling a game than Valentine is and im glad to see him behind the plate.


 
With those players in mind, my ideal lineup is

1. Phillips
2. Gonzalez
3. Dunn
4. Griffey
5. Hamilton
6. Hatteberg
7. Keppinger
8. Ross

I don't really mind Gonzalez hitting 5th, as he seems to be doing alright there, but I think he would really thrive in the 2 spot between Phillips and Dunn

Salmon out, Livingston in. Thats regotdangdiculous. Salmon has pitched decent. The Todd or Stanton should be gone.

Wow the Dodgers are idiots, they have the same lineup as yesterday other than the 7and8 hitters because someones getting a day off. Narron would never do something as stupid as picking a lineup and staying with it.
 
Random stuff

Reds used a total of 140 different Batting Orders last season.

Narron has put together 27 total batting orders this year - but hasn't used the same one more than 4 times
 
It doesnt look like livingston is gonna be the answer (didnt think it would be). I think they should have brought up Dumatrait, he has much better stuff and numbers so far in the minors.
 
Freel 3b
Hatteberg 1b
Griffey rf
Phillips 2b
Dunn lf
Hamilton cf
Gonzalez ss
Valentin c
Belisle p

OMG. a lineup that i actually like :eek:hmy:
