He was squeezed big time, and the ump forced him to get the ball up and out over the plate. I actually think he was hitting his spots pretty well. I wouldn't mind Overbay to replace Cairo. He's a better hitter, can play first, and is a left handed bat.
Agreed. The most glaring issues on the team is the bench. Cairo's time is up. Paul has been doing pretty well, and Valdez has been OK as well but Miggy's time is done. I just hope they dont make a deal just to make a deal. We as Reds fans, and to be honest every fan of teams do this, see the glaring holes in their team but if ya take a step back and look...the reds have a damned good record and that was after a poor start to the season.
If VOtto comes back and just plays like himself and some of the other guys keep stepping up then this team is going to be very tough to beat. Sometimes last night happens. I didnt see it early but I know the Creeper was making comments about the umpiring, and from the replay it looked like the pitch that Meso got tossed on was right there. It was almost like he didnt get too fired up until the umpire said something. I have been in a situatio before when ya questio a call and the response you get from the umpire pisses you off more than the actual call itself.
but anyways......sometimes we forget that the opponants are big leaguers too and this will happen sometimes.
