That 11 pitch at bat that started with an 0-2 count was a thing of beauty. I was really impressed with that AB in particular. Agree on both counts. He looks like a completely different guy out there. Laying off the fastball over his head and trying for contact/foul balls on "pitcher's pitches" rather than trying to hammer everything on a 2 strike count. Hopefully Ronny is "getting it" and Felix is not too far behind. I agree that Ronny seems to have "turned a corner". Look at this progression of 6 game increments.....

These numbers are far too small to draw any kind of a statistical inference, but never the less, I find it interesting that Reed has done significantly better against righties than lefties. Worth keeping an eye on, I guess.

While we were in Pittsburgh you insisted that Corey Patterson (.323/.353/.839/1.192 at the time) had finally "figured it out", and was beginning that magical break out year that everyone talks about. In the meantime, Corey's gone 1 for 28, including 0 for Chicago, and dropped that line to .200/.274/.509/.783. Hell, he hasn't had a hit in 9 days ! Not gonna draw the logical conclusion here...... leaving it to you. :wink: Nothing like kicking a man when he's drunk. Hmmm.... I was thinking of it more as firm nudge than a kick. Oh, well. It was a nudge until you started cussing like a sailor! Corey still has a decent isod during that slump which is pretty good for him. Usually when he flatlines, he takes it to the nth division. I throw 1 little "Hell" out there, and now I'm "cussing like a sailor" ???? :shock: http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b137/Hornkohl/Hyperbole.jpg

I'm not Fred but I'm pretty sure they were 6-10. Fixed.... It all depends on what the definition of is is. If you mean what is their record on 20 April 2007...... well that's 6-10 But, if you mean what is their record after 18 games..... well, that's 7-11.
