    It took forever for Marmol to throw that.

    Forgot about Dusty's fetish with bunting.
  3. reds44
    Not with the way he has been swinging tonight. I fully expect a K.

    Bako is going to be some kinds of awful when he comes back to earth, which he will. I'd just like to point out how bad this sucks for you. Because he's starting off this well, Dusty will remember this all season. Thus, it will take him FOREVER to bench him. Literally. It'd be worse if the Reds had actual catchers that can hit sitting behind him, which they don't.

    It worked, still disagree with it.

    And Dusty decides to make it his first time to leave a pitcher in an inning too long. Awesome.

    Votto is an outs machine.

    His day is done.

    You're saying his approach at the plate has changed since he was a Cub? Looks like the same Cpat to me. Even has the same OBP. Um, did you even bother to read my post? He's been swinging at much more crap tonight than he has this season. I did read your post. All you said is Cpat is hacking at everything. I don't see how that's different from 2005 version of Cpat. That's exactly what I said! "Wrigley Field has Patterson like he did when he was on the Cubs." I guess I'm trying to figure out how Cpatt's just above .300 OBP this season means he's somehow a different person than he was when he was on the Cubs. Yeah, he's got some homeruns, but he's still up there hacking. 2 strike outs and 4 swing and misses coming into tonight is hacking?

    You could see that was coming. Harang doesn't have anything tonight.

    Wrigley Field has Patterson looking like he did when he was on the Cubs. Hackin at everything. Phillips did some nice hackin there as well.

    You are the one who keeps bringing it up, Vancey pooh. I'm pretty sure we've been told by mods to talk about it. It was a joke, and I wasn't "making fun of 4 year olds" I was "making fun of however old you are." A distasteful one? Yes. One I shouldn't have made? Sure. Did I remotely mean anything I said? Of course not. Grow a pair and stop bringing it up. You need to stop talking stuff idiots (yes, I am an idiot) on a message board say so seriously.

    that reds team is very patient, but dusty has only been on the job a short while. a manager only has so much influence over the short-term upon his players individual habits. but i have no doubt hat you will see a decline in walks. swinging at first pitches i have no problem with, as long as his players aren't just trying to put the ball in play. I never said that Dusty won't have an effect on the offense or that he will not make it worse, I'm just saying he hasn't yet and that was just looking for reasons to blame him.

    Wow, you want to talk about looking for reasons to blame Dusty, that is just awful. Swung at countless first pitches? The Reds lead the majors in walks (or they were right up there when the day started). The Reds lack of hitting had zero to do with Dusty Baker. Zero. Keep grasping at straws though.

    Done a decent job of it so far, but the answer is hands down Cueto.

    He was born in Cuba? Woa. Wonder if he ever met Fidel? hahahah, what? Fidel Castro was the long-time dictator in Cuba until this year. He is what they call a communist. hahahahahahahaha. "now this is how we tie our shoes, son."

    Because, as I was saying, a lot of the contact he's making isn't solid contact I've seen everyone of his AB's, and I'd disagree with that.
  23. reds44
    Even with Patterson's surge in power early in the year, he has only swung and missed 4 times all season. However, despite his hot start he still has an OBP only 8 points above .300.

    Honestly, I don't know how much I agree with the idea that a player with a high K rate has a lower chance of getting on base than a player with a low K rate. When you think of guys who K at monstrous rates like Ryan Howard and Adam Dunn, then compare them to the Juan Pierres of the world, that sort of data tends to run counter to the idea that strikeouts hinder your ability to get on base more than some other factor. no, i was just saying that if a guy strikes out a certain number of times, then manages to halve that rate while keeping all other things the same, he'll get on base more. but, that requires that all other things are the same, and i don't know if that is necessarily the case. When you dramatically lower your K rate, all other other things are never going to stay the same. Corey wasn't/isn't K-ing as much because he's slapping more. Definatley haven't seen that. The thing I have noticed more now than his time with the Cubs is he has been getting ahead in the count a lot more.
