Dusty Continues to Abuse Young Players; Names Votto Starter

[Vanilla Ice]

Not really sure how this is a meaningless argument or anything other than good nautred ribbing.

 

I hate you all. The end. :wink:

 

And here is reds44's Dusty complaint numbero uno:

Get Corey Patterson out of the starting lineup, and when he does play he belongs nowhere nearthe leadoff spot. Could be an assest as a PR and defensive repalcement, but this everyday CF and leadoff man has gone down the pooper in a hurry.

 

Patterson is now 1 for his last 24, and he is hitting below .200. Black. Hole. Jay Bruce where art thee?

 

 

You wonder how Derrek Lee won a batting crown and had 99 XBH in the three hole and only ended up with 107 RBI in 2005?

 

Dusty values one thing above all else in the leadoff spot: speed. Even if it means batting two guys with sub-.300 OBP's at the top. So long as they are fast, dude.

 

In other words, get used to it.

Patterson is quickly approaching sub .200 OBP.

 

0 for his last 20, and something like 1 for his last 28.

but he doesn't clog the bases.

 

so get used to it

Speaking of abuse...I wonder how long it is going to take for Dustbag to destroy new Reds phenom Cueto? I bet he'll be throwing towels next season. :lol:

Has yet to throw over a 100 pitches in a start this season. The great thing about Cueto is his unrela control keeps his pitch count low.

 

Isn't it Volquez who is spotty with his control? He's the one I'd be more worried about.
