Freel's frustration with his playing time came to a boil when a reporter approached him.

 

"I'm trying to be careful about what I say," Freel said. "I've really got nothing good to say right now. There was a lot of stuff said that misinterpreted or miscommunicated this offseason

 

Freel is hitting 292/327/354 and is sitting so Corey Patterson 213/281/475 can start. Gotta love some Dusty.

Maybe he should have thought of that before he got injured every season.

So Patterson has a better OPS, and is a far better baserunner and defender.

I don't have to reach to know Dusty is a bad manager and the Reds will be under 500 at the end of the season.

And that batting at the top of the order, I'd much rather have the extra 46 pts. of OBP than the 125 pts of slugging.

And Freel is a bad fielder and one of the worst baserunners you will fine.

 

Patterson is a better player. Really Jay Bruce should be in CF, but whatever.

Corey's baserunning skills rarely come into play. That's the problem. A sub-.300 OBP from your leadoff hitter isn't even in the remote vicinity of acceptable.

 

Corey has no value whatsoever as a leadoff man. If we were discussing Freel vs. Patterson as your #8 hitter, your points would have some validity. No one is reaching here.

Yea I would have to agree. Patterson should not be a leadoff hitter, and Dust out of all people should understand that. Freel is not a great player either but if you were to bat one leadoff it would have to be Freel. I also didn't know we wern't alowed to criticize Dusty in here.

Neither of them belong hitting leadoff, and Dusty's lineup construction has been nothing but putrid all year.

Ha, ha. whatever. I don't have to look for reasons to blame Dusty. He's horrible. The record of his stupidity is clear.

 

And right now, Freel is the hot hand. Sitting him so Patterson can play is stupid. But Patterson is fast, so he should be a lead-off hitter. Freel can play lots of positions so he should be a utility player. That's the way things are in Dusty's world. It will only get worse. Sooner or later, Bako will get cold, but he's still going to get his starts. That's the Dusty way.

 

Ignore it if you want, but Dusty sucks and so do the Reds. After this year, Dunn will be gone and the Reds will be worse than they are now.

I had to tell him to stop calling her. She's too young for him, even if she's a little more mature.
