Makes me sick that Rolen was playing over Frazier last year.

Damn, #8 hitters really do kill the Reds. Batting .318 this year with a .864 slugging. Smh.

Choo is the man. Had no idea it felt this good to have a legit lead off guy.

Dusty Baker on Choo getting hit, from Mark Sheldon's blog:

Reds manager Dusty Baker is not entirely thrilled about seeing Choo staying in the box and getting plunked.

"The amateurs holler 'take one for the team' -- that ain't the way to get on," Baker said. "When you've been hit, that means they're pitching you inside. There's a very small margin between -- it's only two or three inches between an inside strike and hitting you. He's going to get hit because they're going to pitch him inside until he proves they can't come in there.

"As long as they hit him in the legs -- those big tree trunks he has. You just don't want him to get hit in the hand or the elbow or anything. You shouldn't get hit there if you're moving out of the way properly, unless one gets away from you and you don't see it."

Is it just me or does his first statement seem like he's using it as a negative on Choo?

I take it as he doesn't want choo standing there taking it and not trying to move out of the way. Baker is a tard, but even he knows this teams fucked without choo

Man, Strasburg has made Joey look terrible today, but he gets the runners over.

Was also a Minor League gold glove winner. That encompasses all levels of the minors.
