Dusty Refuses To Win

I'm speechless, not because Bruce gets a day off but more because Baker doesn't realize that Bruce is the only player in the last 2 nights to get a hit in both games. With that reasoning why doesn't he bench the other guys for their lack of hitting?

Just as I suspected here, Dusty Baker is dieing to get Patterson back in the lineup.

LEADING OFF: With Hairston on the DL, Baker went with Jay Bruce in the leadoff position "through process of elimination."

Bunch Of Roster Moves

I'm kinda surprised to see Cabrera get the call considering he's not a middle infielder, but then again the pickings are pretty slim right now. I guess this means Phillips now becomes the back up shortstop if Janish goes down with an injury some how. Jeff Keppinger seems to...
Hairston Out 2-4 Weeks, Chris Valaika Time?

Big surprise that a Reds shortstop gets injured right? Jerry Hairston Jr. fractured his left thumb last night sliding into 2nd base, and is expected to be out 2-4 weeks. The big question now is who replaces him. Jeff Keppinger is rumored to be back by Thursday, but of course they are...
Jeff Keppinger Could Be Back Soon, Hopper and Fogg Updates

Keppinger coming back could mean some bench time for Edwin Encarnacion if he continues his struggles at the plate. I don't really agree with that, but given Baker's baseball knowledge I wouldn't be surprised by it. Now if only Baker could figure out that Jeff Keppinger...

Means hit .357/.416/.488 this year for Indiana, stole 33 bases in 39 attempts, and is considered a pretty good center fielder because of his plus speed.

Today the Reds drafted 2 of the greatest players in baseball history. 15th round pick Eric Pfisterer, LHP, Don Bosco Prep HS 17th round pick Frank Pfister, 3B, Emory I can only dream that one of these guys makes it to the majors because I'm very childish. Way to go Mr. Pfister...
Reds Drafted WVU QB Pat White

He hasn't played baseball since he was a senior in high school, but I guess the Reds still think there is a chance he could sign. I would think that him passing up the chance to play for the Angels after being drafted in the 4th round in '04, and the fact that he

2008 1st Round Pick: Yonder Alonso
June 05, 2008 by
Dunn and Dunner
| Comments
| Comments
He is probably the last player I expected the Reds to draft with Gordon Beckham, and Aaron Crow still left to be drafted. Alonso is a slow, nonathletic 1st baseman that plays average defense at best. He has a strong bat with above average power for 1st basemen, average arm, and he...

On ESPN's Thursday morning version of SportsCenter some host dropped a classy line about Junior being out of the line up because of "general soreness." Right after the Reds and Phillies highlights they talk about Edinson Volquez stretch of games allowing 2 earned runs...

On John Fay's blog today there is a post about the draft, and I must say I'm extremely happy with most of its content.
"I can give you a list of three or four guys," scouting director Chris Buckley said. "But, at 7, you don't know if they're going...
It's Patterson, Sadly

I guess a while is 5 games in Reds land. I don't care if Patterson is just back because of the injury, the fact is Dusty will find thousands of ways to get him at-bats, play him over Bruce when there is a tough righty or something, and continued...

When seeing that Chris Dickerson was pulled from the Louisville Bats game last night in the 4th I got a little excited, and it made me wonder if he might be getting called up to replace Ryan Freel. Unlike the Paul Janish

Herrea Called Up, Merker To DL.... again

I'm really surprised that Danny Herrera got called up. He's been lights out his whole minor league career, but I'm very skeptical about his ability pitch at the major league level.

Daryl Thompson is flat out remarkable. In his start for Louisville tonight Thompson dominated for 7 innings in which he gave up 6 hits, 1 earned run, and struck out 6.

Hal McCoy reported today before the game that Homer Bailey is getting the call Thursday in Philadelphia.

The bullpen clearly needs an extra arm after being spent yet again because of the starters not being able to give a quality start yesterday. The Reds don't have a day off until June 16th.

What else is there even to say about Jay Bruce? Just to add to his already ridiculous start of his career Bruce decided to hit his 1st career home run today in walk off fashion no less. Though only playing 5 games this month he already has more hits and more walks than the guy he replaced...

Jay Bruce is dat honkey. I'd say sorry for the blatant racism, but it just feels acceptable because they were playing the Braves. What a great win for the Reds even though I missed Bruce's hit in the 11th because I was gaying it up and watching Talk Soup on E!.

What are scouting reports? Tonight I seriously pondered shutting down this blog as I watched Phil Dumatrait dominate this Reds team. How many times am I going to have to watch crappy pitchers shut down a Reds team, let alone a freaking former pitcher who was actually in the minor league...

Someone please explain to me why Fogg isn't starting today? Wouldn't you think they would like to give Harang and Volquez an extra days rest considering what they did in San Diego on Sunday? At the very least you would think Fogg would start Friday.

According to Hal McCoy, Homer Bailey isn't in the majors because he's not a great kid.
Paul Janish, a great kid, is here. Jay Bruce, a great kid, is here. Homer Bailey is not here. And notice I didn't use the word great.
