    Cincy got nothing out of Harris. At the time of the trade, Cincy was giving up the three best players in the deal, and nobody has done anything to dissuade that perception aside from Harris, who's in Minnesota. Three best players? The Nationals couldn't give Lopez away, and does anybody know where Ryan Wagner is? Again, it was a trade that worked out for nobody. The Nationals traded one of their best relievers (Majewski) and two pitching prospects (Bray, Thompson) as well as there starting SS (Clayton) and backup IF (Harris) and got Austin Kearns (who has been awful this year) and trash in return. The Reds traded their starting SS (Lopez) and RF (Kearns) and flamed out prospect (Wagner) for two pitching prospects (Bray, Thompson), Harris, and trash in return. If the Reds had held onto Harris, it wouldn't look nearly as bad. Again, the trade was awful for both teams. It could get better for the Reds if Bray and Thompson work out. To call it one of the worst trades of all time is beyond stupid. Krivsky also got Phillips, Keppinger, Arroyo, Burton for notihng and turned a rule 5 pick into Edinson Volquez, so it all evened out.

    It is when the pitcher doesn't even look you back to 2nd and there was no throw to 3rd...... He was basically given 3rd.
  3. reds44
    That's the question. Don't mind the move, but the timing is really odd. Krivsky did his good things, and he also did some awful things. In the end he didn't win, so I'm not going to complain about him being gone.

    Wow, was that a historically bad trade. When you are giving away the best three players in a seven player deal involving Jim Bowden, you got worked over. Hyperbole much? Lopez and Ryan Wagner have both been garbage with Washington. Clayton and Majewski were garbage with the Reds. Kearns and Harris were the two best players in that deal, and there is still a lot of hope for Bray and Thompson. That trade sucked for both teams.

    I vaguely remember you being optimistic about Patterson a couple of weeks ago... :-k What part of "he still sucks" is optimistic?

    Enjoy him getting seriously overmatched by bigger receivers. That's what they said about Ronde.

    Hairston is 3-3 with 2 RBIs and a SB tonight. Sure, he still sucks, but at least he provided a spark to the offense for a night. He has done more in 1 game than Castro has done in his last 2 seasons with the Reds.

    He has to be kidding, right?
  10. reds44
    Amazing.
  11. reds44
    And he is still (less bad) than Juan Castro. With the way he's been hitting in AAA, plus he has an out close in his contract that he can leave if he wound't have been called up by May, he forced the Reds hands. It's a minor move I agree with.
  12. reds44
    Jerry Hairston Jr. is a better baseball player than Juan Castro. That's really all that needs to be said here.
  13. reds44
    I lol'd.
  14. reds44
    Basically. Marty really is just a grumpy old man in the booth right now. Nothing surprises me. Every once in awhile his hall of fame self shows up, though.

    :D Dusty did that all the time. Let the pitcher hit, then have him not even throw a pitch the next inning. Drove me insane. He did that with Volquez a few days ago at Wrigley. The game was pretty much a blowout at the time, but I still didn't get it. And you would think if Yost is going to have him hit, he'd be bunting. I guess not.
  16. reds44
    Yost did some wierd crap with bunts today. He chose to have Weeks and Gallardo hit for themselves instead of bunting, and had Braun bunt in very similar situations. In fact, there was a guy on first in the top of the 8th, i think, with no outs and Gallardo up. He let Gallardo hit for himself, didn't bunt, and then he pulled Gallardo before he pitched another inning. It didn't make any sense.
  17. reds44
    That 10th inning was just a total collapse for the Brewers. After the Reds handed them two runs on an error and WP, Gange gives up back to back homers to Edwin and Paul freakin' Bako. Then he walks Hatteberg, causing them to bring in Torres. After CP0for3 couldn't get a bunt down and whiffed at a pitch at his eyes, he gave up and infield hit to Phillips, and the game winning double to Griffey. Thank God for Gagne.

    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.
  19. reds44
    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.
  20. reds44
    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?
  21. reds44
    So somebody tried to throw a beer on McClouth today (and missed by a foot) during Fukudome's triple today, just confirming the fact his comments were right on. Did anybody else hear his interview with Sliverman and Waddle today?

    http://cincinnati.reds.mlb.com/news/...=.jsp&c_id=cin DUSTY HATES DA YOUNG PLAYERZ! I know you're being sarcastic, but just wait. A lot of us cut Dusty a ton of slack in 2003, but then saw the error of our ways. And Votto is the exception, not the rule when it comes to Dusty. I guarantee if his OBP was 40 or so points higher than his batting average, Dusty would bench him. Dusty likes his "agressiveness" at the plate, because it's called "hitting," not "walking," dude. Just wait until Votto is hacking at everything, struggling to post an OBP over .300 and striking out 1 in every 3.5 AB's. Then praise Dusty. And if Dusty starts messing up, I'll be right here ripping him. It's not like I have some ties to Dusty. If he messes up, I'll say he does. It just hasn't come anywhere near happening, yet.
  23. reds44
    Never said that. And I'll give it until the end of June until Bruce is up. Rumor has it Dusty has wanted Bruce up since spring training, but Krivsky wouldn't allow it. Damn Dusty.

  25. reds44
    And I'm willing to bet we'll win one or two more before the Reds get a good look at one. The Cubs screwing the divison up bebcause there the Cubs comment was ignorant considerign they won it last year. Don't really think the goal is divison titles though....
