Lewdog Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 [quote name='BigDawgBengal' timestamp='1350012843' post='1169138'] I was just making argument for Melky cause the points you were making were inncorrect. I also never brought up the idea. He would be a good addition and much needed one but at they end of the day he probably won't be a Red. [/quote] Besides getting the 100 game suspension wrong and skipping to the life time ban, everything else was mere opinion and not facts. So I would really categorize them as 'points.' If I was going to categorize it as anything, I would call it mistaken. It was would be something totally different if there was no life time ban at all. Just saying...

Jason Posted October 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Disappointing way to end the season, but the future is very bright. Our best players are either under control due to YOS or locked up long term. Cozart and Frazier should progress next year. Looks like Homer is starting to blossom, and Mat should keep getting better as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saphead Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 I just wanted to advance 1 round in the playoffs. Just like I want the Bengals to win a playoff game. Are Dusty & Marvin brothers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_B Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Moving Chapman to the starting rotation will push Leake off the roster, so Im ok with that. We will need to find a dominate closer though, any chance we give Madson another chance? Anyone in the farm system close to ready? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengals1181 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Stick with Leake and leave Chapman as the closer. Chapman is dominant in the role, and there's no reason to give up on Leake so soon. Reds have a really solid 1-4 with Cueto/Latos/Bailey/Arroyo. IMO Chapman is more valuable as the closer than adding to an already solid rotation. Besides, Chapman can't be a starter until he learns to keep runners from stealing on him.

Lewdog Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 I think we may have seen the last of Arroyo in a starter role. I can see them moving him into long relief or getting rid of him altogether because of his salary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, he's coming off probably the 2nd best year of his 13yr career. [/quote] The only reason he won so many games this year was because of the run support he had, versus a guy like Leake who got horrible run support. Arroyo is good for one or more homeruns a game at Great American Ballpark. He is a flyball pitcher and that is not going to change. He needs to be pitching in places like San Diego or Seattle. I like the guy and he has definitely been the best of the trade for Willy Mo Pena. I just think it is about time to move on. He would definitely be a high priced long reliever, but the Reds need to continually get younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewdog Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 This makes me just sick to my stomach. On Sportscenter they showed highlights from the Yankees and Tigers games where Jeter broke his ankle. Obviously he is done for the season. I would maybe feel bad for the guy, but he has played in [b]158[/b] career playoff games. WTF! He has almost played an entire regular season worth of playoff games. Yankees fans are some spoiled mofo's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he would have started this game, but the same result could have happened. I chalk up Friday night to experience and laying off the gas. St. Louis is the defending champs, they weren't going to give up, and 6-0 is nothing in baseball that early in a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
