R-U-D-I Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 Good article today today by Lonnie Wheeler of Cincy Post noting the competition they faced this first few weeks. Encouraging.http://news.cincypost.com/apps/pbcs.dll/ar.../504210319/1035 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirkendall Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 Yea, it's been a tough month (in terms of the opposing starting pitching). Shesh, I seriously doubt anyone has faced tougher pitching in the first half month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirkendall Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 PS, Wily Mo hit a double in the first inning scoring Casey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsfan2 Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 I had just noticed that the other nite, the Reds have / had ? the best home record in baseball. Unfortunately, the also had one of the worst road records too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bengalsfan33 Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 I think its time we trade Griffey. Wily Mo is a freak and needs to be playing everyday.Someone like the Braves will take Griffey because they lack that monster hitter that Griffey can be.

Kirkendall Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 Trade? You're certain that Kearns won't get hurt again? You think another team wants a homer-less homerun specialist who misses 40-50 games a season because of freak injury.We won't be able to move Griffey, nor should we. I do think a trade with Casey is definitely feasible. Move Dunn to 1st. That, I think, is the best option right now.You're right about thing, give Wily Mo all the at bats he wants!

Wily Mo is a freak and needs to be playing everyday.Someone like the Braves will take Griffey because they lack that monster hitter that Griffey can be. We did trade Griffey... 2 years ago. Guy we traded for nixed the deal and wouldn't come to the Reds ..( also kinda like the Bengals huh ) .... Anyway Griffey is a 5 ... 5 guy and can nix any deal he doesn't want to take. I like the way Griffey is going into this season. He's got his avg. up ... he's spreading the ball around ... & making good plays in the field. Nothing Spectacular, but those are the ones that ended hin up on the DL too. Give me good steady and consistent over spectacular every time. Oh and the homers will start to come around too ..... it's just a matter of time. Latest rumor I'm hearing is that we trade Casey and put Dunn on 1st. At least they're not talking about him hitting lead off like Baboon did. God I'm glad he's gone. Now if we could just get rid of Allen.

bengalindian Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 I would def not be for trading Casey. That would be taking the heart away from a true Red and the current face of the organization. But something needs to be done, cuz these guys aren't getting the playing time that they deserve/would get from someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you all know that one of the four outfielders are going to eventually ask to be traded because we can't put them all out there at the same time. And if we trade Casey, I'll be pissed. He's the heart of this team and it would be ludacris for us to trade him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll probably happen tho .... if not this year than next. Hated it when they traded Klu too. Hated it when Larkin didn't get offered a job in the front office. You gotta be somewhat of a masochist to love baseball in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirkendall Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 And if we trade Casey, I'll be pissed. He's the heart of this team and it would be ludacris for us to trade him.Yea me too. For the past few seasons, Casey has been my favorite player. But he's got the best long-term value. He's a proven veteran with quality defensive skills with a .300 (albiet poor production in terms of RCAA). But he's older in comparison to Dunn, Kearns, and Wily Mo. Also, you have to equate salary into it too. He's making a crap load and many expect Dunn to be a $9-10 mil guy next season. I love Casey, but at this rate, the value, we could be better off without him -- just think about it for awhile. It makes the most sense. Griffey trade hasn't happened in four seasons, so I really don't suspect he'll be traded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShulaSteakhouse Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 The Reds can't compete with the better teams in the league, it's a microcosm of the real world - a few have's, and whole lot of have-not's.The have-not's might get lucky and scratch off a winning lottery ticket once in a while, but for 10-20 years they won't sniff the playoffs (going on 10 now).I like baseball and I enjoy watching guys like Dunn and Pena and even Casey when he's hitting like he normally does, and I used to love watch Larkin play SS in his prime, and I still go to a game or two a year....but baseball's a dying sport in the small markets and we are just fodder for the big market clubs because they can't implement a cap or fair revenue sharing and it's a shame.It's just like the watered down NBA, completely boring. College/Pro football and college basketball are the only sports I watch anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsfan2 Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 Good game from Claussen tonight in Florida. Caseys looking good as well. Losing 3 straight didn't help any, but maybe we can make up some ground with the Cubs. Frustrating as hell that they do so well at home .... and then turn into roadkill as soon as they leave the city limits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengalsfan33 Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 Clausen had a great outing today- esecially since this is only his second start of the year. I also think Freel had a great game on boh offense and defense. We need to do something with Jimenez because he isn't doing jack and Freel is!
