    to be fair, we all knew the reds sucked
  2. TruffleShuffle
    battle of the bullpens... not exactly a fair fight
  3. TruffleShuffle
    time for the reds to give up some runs

    Bill Welke slot machine spits out a strike

    And now the Dodgers have him for a .282/.314/.336 line. 5 years, $45M. Yeah Colletti sure was an upgrade from DePodesta.

    knowing mackanin, they'll probably go to a lefty here

    Yes, yes it is. Particularly when your pen is already strong. Totally agree. It's dumber than the Pierre trade for the Cubs. At least Pierre filled a need and we got him for a full season. The Brewers gave away one of their best trading chips for 2.5 months of a relief pitcher they didn't even particularly need. Need for what, a leadoff hitter who doesn't get on base enough?

    he might be pitching for louisville this weekend, if the reds have any sense at all (which they don't)

    how many teams are going to give kirk friggin saarloos a chance before they realize that he doesn't have the stuff to get major league hitters out

    manager is incompetent.

    I'm not 10 and it's not photoshop ugh, MS paint... i'm off my game today

    if jock could put up numbers in line with his career norms, and Murton were playing RF and putting up numbers like last year, the Cubs offense would be fine.

    10 year olds should not be allowed to use photoshop

    i certainly welcome this from diamond mind, being as he's yet to say what he'd do.
  17. TruffleShuffle
    Good point... he's a guy who could be a target for a team needing a third baseman. He's actually a prime trading chip due to ARam's long-term deal.
  18. TruffleShuffle
    i hope that's not why i'm still single :lol: :x

  21. TruffleShuffle
    up those numbers to 100-102 with 93 homers against LHP

    I think walks and hits per inning pitched can be a good stat. Like how often the guy prevents baserunners! Conveniently, we do have a statistic like that. WHIP: 2003: 1.509 (Eyre) versus 1.397 (Linebrink) 2004: 1.329 (Eyre) versus 1.036 (Linebrink) 2005: 1.083 (Eyre) versus 1.059 (Linebrink) 2006: 1.484 (Eyre) versus 1.216 (Linebrink) Linebrink is the better of the two, and he has been. But he hasn't been lights out by any means. And Eyre at his best has hung in his company. The issue remains the guy is a non-elite reliever, which for some reason, is a grossly overvalued asset in baseball nowadays. I'd rather my GM overpay free agent relievers than trade prospects for them, but neither is a smart move. I guess my point was that without his decline this year, Linebrink would've been a pretty safe investment in the offseason. Eyre was clearly not a safe investment since he had all of one year with a good WHIP, and not surprisingly he's reverted to the mediocre pitcher he's been for the rest of his career.

    lawl, these guys are falling all over themselves to praise a utility infielder.
  24. TruffleShuffle
    yeah that was his career high... i can't get excited about that.
  25. TruffleShuffle
    good thing that, according to marty brennaman, he can flat-out rake! I expect a base hit here.
