JBandJoeyV Posted June 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 [quote name='JBandJoeyV' timestamp='1306976017' post='995618'] This team is full of guys that cant hit for shit right now, including brandon phillips, scott rolen and even joey votto. Bruce is single handedly carrying this offense, no one else is doing jack shit. Starting pitching isnt helping much either. And this team is .500. I have no reason to believe that once we heat up we wont win the division, but we better not dig ourselves too big a hole right now with everyone struggling. [/quote] Let me reiterate. Jay Bruce IS the reds offense right now. Another 2 run shot for Bruce. Come on lets score a couple more runs and win this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 I wish Miguel Cairo played LF.. Fred Lewis just doesn't do it for me. He just has not brought much to the table that Johnny doesn't already bring. We need to get into the market for a stud LF or bring up Yonder.

Jason Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 I miss hating the Dodgers. The Cardinals rivalry is getting there, but it's not where the Dodgers were in the 70s yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBandJoeyV Posted June 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 Good start by bronson considering it didnt appear he had his good stuff at all. 2-1 reds after 5.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBandJoeyV Posted June 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 I love good coco. Im starting to like our bullpen a lot again, I really like Logan, Masset, Coco, and Bray. Arrendando has been piching good too considering hes essentially our 4th right handed relief option. If Chapman figures it out and pitches like he can we could have a great bullpen. If starting pitching comes around and Rolen starts to give us SOMETHING then we can get right back to the top of this division. In the meantime i'd strongly considering making a big trade for Matt Kemp. Don't know what it would take, but a 2-5 of Phillips, Votto, Kemp, and Bruce could be the best in the league hands down if it were to happen.

Bengals1181 Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 I see your point, but I'd rather go after a top SS rather than another outfielder. You can always move Heisey to LF, though I really like him as a pinch hitter. SS is a weak spot offensively in the majors, and if I'm not mistaken there's not much by was of SS in the minors either.

[/quote] I just think Jose Reyes will cost too much both as a package and salary. Thinking about it Id go all in on a stud pitcher. Dont know who will be out there though. I think this could very easily be a potential starting lineup next year, and this is without trading for anyone... Sappelt, Phillips, Votto, Mesoraco, Bruce, Stubbs, Rolen/Frazier/Francisco, Janish/Frazier/Cozart That is a solid young lineup that could put up tons of runs. A package including Alsono and others should be able to get us something pretty good. If we can go out and get a top SP, SS, or LF I will be very happy. My top 4 position players I would like to get are Kemp, Ethier, Pence, and Reyes. Not sure about pitchers yet have to do more research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 I'd love Kemp. He would be a monster at GABP and fill a huge need. That LF spot is a revolving door and with the Dodgers having the financial issues, why not get what we can. I'm not big on Reyes, because I don't think he plays very good defense, and with out pitchers, extra outs probably isn't what we need. He would be great offensively for us though. If we can get Stubbs to cut down on those strikeouts and starting taking some more walks, this team is going to get extremely hot, extremely fast.

JC Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 I think I've got another brilliant idea. Fisher to the 15 day DL. Dude was fooling no one out there. His pitches had zero movement. Dusty's going to ruin the guy. And ditto on Kemp. Get this guy on the team. He would be a staple in that lineup for years to come. Not that I think we have the brass balls to do it, nor do we have the funds to keep a lot of all-stars on the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDawgBengal Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 Would love to have Kemp but I just don't think the Dodgers will trade him. He is their best player and he is only making 7 million. He also has another year of arbitration left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] it was a 4-2 game with guys on second and third and they pinch hit with heisey who hit a 2 run single...i guess it comes down to what would you rather have a 2 run lead with 6 outs left with cueto at 88 pitches or a 4 run lead with 6 outs needed by the bullpen... either way the bullpen is to blame, no one else really imo.
