bgwilly31 Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 If this thread gets too big for the site we will lock it down and start another. Next up dodgers! Im scurred, I can tell you that. We've looked terrible against arguably the softest division in the MLB. Luckily Dodgers are only 7-11. (of course against a tough division) Belisile is back tonight, im not sure what to expect. We face Brad Penny tonight. 2-2 record, 2.96 ERA. Lets hope things change. If they dont change quickly our hole might be too deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD_semro Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 I'm with you on tonight will be a rough one. Hopefully the walk off win will give this club the jolt they need to get back on the right track. Also what belisle will we see tonight, one that has dominated agaisnt minors or the one that struggled at times last year. Lets go Reds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turningpoint Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 For some reason I think we win this game by a few runs I think Griffey is really seeing the ball well right now and is clutch vs Penny. I think we see 597 tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD_semro Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 I hope so. I read that Griff has some really good numbers against Penny. I aslo believe I read that out of 22 (20 something) AB's that Dunn has struck out 13 times against Penny. Lets hope Griff hits it out, because the numbers don't look good for Dunn. Also I was wondering what you guys think about the catching situation ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not a D.ross fan at all. He's like a A.dunn at the plate. Except he strikes out as much or more, doesnt have a good eye(wont work counts), and doesnt have the type of power as DUNN. All of that equals out to TERRIBLE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengals1181 Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 what's wrong with Bako? He's hitting as well as anyone not named Keppinger right now.

bgwilly31 Posted April 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 So i was just browsing through the reds 2008 salaries..... And here are a few that stuck out to me. [b]R. FREEL>>>$3mil[/b] -What in the hell? For a pinch runner and a fill in guy? WHY? Especially compared to N.hopper's $400k. Drop Freel and keep hopper for that kind of money. [b]Kepp>>>>$400k[/b] -What a steal [b]A.Gonzalez>>>$4.6mil[/b] -Fucking A. Drop his ass and keep KEPP> [b]EE>>>>>$450k[/b] -Pretty much a steal again. [b]J.Castro>>>>$1mil[/b] -Thank god they dropped him. I could think of way to use the extra mil. [b]J.Valentin>>>>$0[/b] - Thats what it says. Im good for keeping him for that. [b]D.weathers>>>>$3.3mil[/b] -Good god. He better start performing a bit better than that to earn that kind of green. [b]T.Coffey>>>>>>$1mil[/b] -DROP PLEASE, for the love of god. Question the 2 dominican sensations are both valued at 400k currently. Does that money hold up for the extent fo their contracts with us. Or will they surely renegotiate next year if they continue to perform the way they do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it wasnt for this 10 game hitting streak he would still be batting .083. His plate appearances have been terrible. Hes constantly out on his front foot. I like EE. But he is not the best hitter on this team. However i do agree with you. When hes batting well this team is SIGNIFICANTLY better. But that would be the case with any terrible hitter turned good on this team. You take a guy batting .083 through the first 10 games. And then turn him into .350 hitter. The team is going to be noticably better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keppinger is a singles hitter and by the end of the year will hit around 290 with like 7 HRs. Griffey will hit 270 and hit 30 HRs Dunn will hit 230-240 and hit 30 HRs EE will hit 285 and hit 25 HRs Phillips will hit around 285-290 and hit 25-30 HRs Votto will hit around 300 with 18-20 HRs EE will lead the team with RISP yet again. Votto will be second. Keppinger 3rd. Phillips 4th. Griffey 5th. Dunn 6th. I would really like to know who is better. EE has the potential to be an All Star 3B if he can put it together for an entire season. This team has an amazing future with Bruce-Phillips-EE-Votto in the lineup. I dont see how anyone can be down on any of those 4 when 3 have shown a lot in the majors and 1 is the wet dream of every GM in baseball.
