Guest A-Men-HouseofPain Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 [quote name='TheChosenOne' post='470090' date='Apr 10 2007, 11:46 PM']Yeah that's pretty much what I was going to post. I think I'm starting to agree with you that we should go with a platoon with Freel and Hamilton in CF. But since that makes sense I doubt Narron does it. Also I'd say Conine has been very professional looking as well but the rest of the lineup has had issues. It's the most frustrating with young guys like Encarnacion and Phillips where you know they can be great hitters but other times they aren't disciplined at all up there. Hey, look at this, the D-Backs can lay down a sacrifice bunt with no outs, that's another thing we couldn't do today.[/quote] i like phillips ABs. i think he does good.

Hamilton needs the at bats, and freel plays better when he is the "super sub". I dont even care if Hamilton doesnt have the experience that Freel has, the only way he will reach his full potential is by playing a lot. I would guarantee hamilton the rookie of the year in the nl if we made hiim starting CF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with Edwin really, we know how well he does with runners in scoring position. It's just that they can be frustrating at times. Really that's the case with most young hitters which is why Hamilton is so impressive.

I guess what I'm trying to say is making him the full-time starter right now would be moving a little too quickly, especially after the organization said Freel would be the full-time CF this year. Well that was a shitty half-inning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBandJoeyV Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 A-men, i understand that freel isnt as good of a hitter as EE or Phillips or anyone for that matter, but his hustle does pay off sometimes especially in the field. He would be good when he is playing about 3 times a week. Also EE, Phillips, Dunn and Griff and hell even hamilton will need days off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|BengalsFREAK| Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 [quote name='CJandRudiJ' post='470079' date='Apr 10 2007, 11:27 PM']No offense bengalsfreak, and I dont really know anything about you so pardon me if im way off here... but in the chris henry thread you were bashing a guy completely for all of his arrests and all that shit he has done, but now you are praising a guy that almost killed himself from a drug addiction where he almost blew his career similar to what henry may be in the process of doing. once again not trying to tell you what to think or what you should think, it just seems a lil hypocritical in the ways you treated hamilton and henry.[/quote] Yes, I am praising a guy who served his suspension (much longer than 8 games/weeks), got clean, found god, and has his life back on track. Thanks for noticing! Henry can be the same story, but he's got a long way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|BengalsFREAK| Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Also, we are talking about Josh Hamilton on the backside of his problems vs. Henry who is on the frontside of his. It's not hypocritical, if anything it shows I can (and am) forgiving if someone takes the proper steps to fix their life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for noticing! Henry can be the same story, but he's got a long way to go.[/quote] alright, legit. Not with regards to you but in general, I just think its funny how some people (myself included) would rather see a guy like hamilton( who had a promising career and almost ruined it for being an idiot and getting into drugs) do well, then a guy that never had any problems and is a model citizen. Hamilton is the "feel good story of the year" so far, even though he was the one that almost blew it. Im one of those that would love to see him do well, and i dont understand why I would rather see him do well then a guy that might be a model citizen and doesnt get into trouble.

|BengalsFREAK| Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Word. I was extremely apprehensive about Hamilton at first, but the more ya hear about him, the easier he is to like...hence the ovation he got on opening day. I hope/pray that Henry follows a similar path and I will be the FIRST to stand up and applaud him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTA513 Posted April 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Hamilton has been out of baseball for about 3-4 years and has shown more plate discipline tonight than most of the Reds players have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheChosenOne Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Dunn, Griffey, Encarnacion due up When your 3, 4, and 5 hitters are due up aren't you supposed to feel good about your chances to score a run? Our 3, 4, and 5 are a combined 1 for 12 today. Dunn had that HR though, maybe this guy will give him a pitch to go yard with. Wow a base hit by Dunn instead of a strikeout, good work by him.
