    Coghlan has struck out in 1/3 of his PA and has a 69% contact rate with the Cubs Fair point! His .372 OBP and a handful of lineouts made me happy, but anecdotes aren't laws. This indicates this wont last very long!
  2. BigSlick
    I really wouldn't mind having Coghlan around because he's come back and looked really good and has had a nice OBP and walk rate with good contact

    I want to start a Reds Appreciation Thread

    Pitchers are disappointments waiting to happening. do not let yourself get excited over them. Be gracious for the time they give you, and get many many dongfull position players to bring you happiness and love

    Hail Szczur

    I wouldn't say I'm a denier per se, I clearly get and see how he's valuable as the current player he is. His at bats/approach just frustrate me when a 2-3% increase in the right direction on his BB and K rates could make him something really special and it's frustrating because all it seems he has to do is not be a godless hacker up there to correct that. Yeah that's the thing. If he can accomplish a few changes in his approach and he can go from a valuable starter MLB player to a perennial All-Star And there he hits another double. Nice.

    There's been some debate over whether or not plate discipline is really "teachable" though, hasn't there? Certainly some tweaking can be done around the edges, but as far as I've gathered, the type of hitter you are is who you are going to be. (And has to do with all sorts of natural talents, eye-sight, swing style etc.) I dunno, obviously no one is expecting Javy to make huge changes in his approach and be a Ben Zobrist, I think whats encouraging for me is how much more contact he's making, because he's always going to be a hacker. Just gimme a Vlad Guerrero otherworldly type hacker, IMO.

    Javy has power but I dont know if I would describe him as an established Power Hitter I'm thinking of the Joe Carters of the world. Maybe Javy will become this kind of hitter, in fact, maybe thats his ceiling.

    fowler is good and not crazy old, let's keep him I imagine he's going to get quite a bit of money offered to him (but I thought that last year and who knows)
  10. BigSlick
    Actually i rule and I'm both cool and good

    This post is beginning to look prescient
  12. BigSlick
    Oy these scrubs are still trying stop trying and just make outs in quick fashion
  13. BigSlick
    Am I a bad person because I take a very very very tiny bit of pleasure in Billy Hamilton getting hurt after all the inexplicable stuff he's done against us? Yes, I am a bad person for it. And I'm probably generating some bad karma. But I'm still doing it.

    lol what ever Duvall, enjoy that single dinger for yourself God I hate power hitters that manage to have OBPs under .300. You should be ashamed of yourself
  15. BigSlick
    Almora gets his first dinger! I LOVE THE REDS
  16. BigSlick
    I'm so, so, so thankful for the Reds. They cure what ails you.

    This game thread was seriously like 4 pages long in the 7th inning Ah well that was fun. Hope the bullpen isn't too borked for the future
  18. BigSlick
    well this game was totally weird but at least in a good way
  19. BigSlick
    I want to see Strop field a flyball
  20. BigSlick
    Lol they're gonna put Strop in left lolololol
  21. BigSlick
    Now time for a position player to get the save
  22. BigSlick
    Retroactively the Cubs just touched up the Reds bullpen something fierce
  23. BigSlick
    Lol I was just thinking how much a Javy dong would redeem his really bad game
  24. BigSlick
    How did we get in the situation of having two pitcher spots again? I retract my defense of Maddon
  25. BigSlick
    I'm still pretty confident the Reds will at least tie it TBH
