Parra's cost is way more per pitch than Hoover's with his salary more than twice Hoover's and way less pitches! LOLse-alum;1421699 wrote:Don't understand why you don't use Parra here.

I was hoping for Chapman for a brief second. Then they put up a 9 spot! Loved it.
Seriously jordo will you STFU please? Reds just fucked the Cardinals in the ass, 13-4, and you're being Mr. Negative. Just enjoy the win and stop typing.jordo212000;1421691 wrote:I haven't read any posts yet...Just logged on. But is Dusty just dense? How many times is going to bunt in front of Votto (and then be completely surprised when they IBB him after the bunt)

You post one or two times on every thread, and it's always negative. Who cares if it's an observation, it's always negative. Lighten up Francisjordo212000;1421739 wrote:It was just an observation.

To be honest, I'm fine with it. I know that Moneyball says that you're not supposed to sac bunt and give up the out, but with Heisey in the two spot, I'd rather him bunt the runner over instead of ground into a double play.jordo212000;1421789 wrote:This.
But the passed ball showed what would have happened had he got the bunt down.

Will that lead to more IBB for Votto? Absolutely. But that also opens the door for Phillips to come through more...which he did with the double in that situation.
Until Ludwick is back, and Phillips is back to batting second, get used to Heisey dropping down a bunt to move Choo over.
I would not like Frazier batting second. However, I'd be cool with BP batting second, Frazier at cleanup, and Heisey at 6. But then you have Heisey and Cozart batting back-to-back and neither has been that great right now.jordo212000;1421864 wrote:Put somebody in the 2-hole who doesn't suck. I would argue we would be better served having Frazier there and Heisey where Frazier is hitting.
You take the bat out of Votto's hands every time you do that and you give up an out.
