Hey, if the Reds go 35 - 12 the last 47 games we'll have 90 wins and that may be good enough to make the playoffs. Keep the faith......hahaha.

I see no reason why the Reds can't win 35 more games...

















over the next 75 games

35 and 12?

hell yeah they can do it!

This team is just plain bad right now. Every night some other aspect of the team breaks down. Get good pitching and hitting and the DEf goes to sleep. Good pitching and the hitting sucks. Good hitting and the pitching sucks.

Just the blueprint of a bad team is when diff parts of the team break down nightly.

I swear at the game the PA announcer said the wrong first name when he was introduced the first time.

I'd prefer to see Frazier closer to the middle of the order.

I'd try out:

Sappelt
Phillips
Votto
Frazier
Bruce
Stubbs
Ramon
Renteria
D Train

I'm not sure if it is sustainable, but I've been impressed with Frazier's pop. Last I check he had 9 hits and 6 of them were for extra bases.

I really like Frazier, and I think he is the heir apparent to Cairo. He'll probably never have an everyday starting spot, but he's the kind of guy that can be very valuable, as he's even more flexible than Cairo as far as where he can play.

He is doing well but I'm not buying Frazier yet. I want him in the lineup somewhere but also want to see how he does going around the league a second time.

I will buy the Cairo comparison for now though.

I'd have him in the bottom portion of the lineup 6th or 7th

Career hit #2301 for fan favorite Edgar Renteria.

If I were Jacoby, I'd be incredibly embarassed of the fact that the guys coming from Louisville, have better strike zone awareness and better approaches than the guys I've been coaching.

Phillips on a 2-1 count swung at the worst pitch of the season...later bounced out and ran well but winced as he got near 1st

Yeah George and Chris were saying he looked fine. There was a definite grimace on his face going through the bag.


And Drew Stubbs, it's time for you to head down my friend.

First defensive inning I've seen, D Train looks good. I hope he isn't in a bunting situation coming up here. I love watching him hit.

D Train w/ an RBI triple, then goes head first into home and is out on a very close play. Unfortunate that Sappelt smoked that ball.

Like to see Dusty send Sappelt here.
