Reds Tidbits (2012 Season)

well who didn't see that coming? I for sure didn't think he would hit into a double play..you know cause he rarely does that

Yeah, it's only his 9th of the year (1 behind the league lead).

I wonder how many of those were also with a guy on third. Phillips has no business batting 4th, but this team is so full of suck they have not been able to find a legit cleanup hitter in years.

Still would like Bruce at 4th...he doesn't make contact enough to hit into a DP, he usually at least when contact, hits it into the outfield

Left handed, can't do it. The Reds would be at the mercy of the dreaded LOOGY. They would turn into a LTOGY and that simply is not as catchy.

They need to liven up the game a bit. Maybe a 3 inning shootout instead of 9, a pitch clock (like a shot clock), jackpot rules on pop-flies....


Oh, and most importantly, if you are on 2nd, you can run straight home, but only if both feet hit the pitchers rubber, while in full stride. How you will accomplish that is beyond me, that's why I'm proposing it.
