Post a Comment*This guy is (1) reason to still hang with the Reds. He makes baseball "fun" again.
What a mixed night for the Reds. Great night for Volquez. He continues to demonstrate why this is the best trade the Reds have made in a number of years. Didn’t have his best stuff but he still went 6 innings with one run.
But Keppinger out, at least for several weeks to come…somebody is going to have to step up to fill the offensive and defensive void he is leaving. I’m not sure Paul Janish will be enough.
Volquez continues to throw rocks. That kid is ice cream. Who doubts that trade now? Just one of the many reasons why Bobbo shouldnt have fired Wayne the Pain Train Krivsky.
+ Team seemed to play with more energy and desire tonight.
- I wonder if the dinosaurs noticed the Freel hustle to first base or the Ross bunt.
The only chance of this team rebounding is for Jay Bruce and Andy Phillips to come along with Janish.
- Only 14,000 tonight. No walk-ups cause the crawl to 600 was on hold.
+ Another TV broadcast without constant jibberish and endless excuses.

Edinson Volquez!
Losing Keppinger really hurts the Reds. He's more useful than the guy he was replacing (Gonzalez)
Wow - I remember 700WLW used to have that saying "You miss a day, you miss a lot!"
1. Jack/CSA complained (shocking) about Fay and the blog itself when he's public enemy #1!
2. He also then suggested we start Patterson after a 4 hit night (which I do actually agree with - ride the hot hand) - after an entire season of crabbing about his contract (Cantu would've only made 1-1.5 million, lol - that's a lot of donuts).
3. We're gonna go unmoderated and we can block stupid posts ourselves (on grounds of offensiveness, not illiteracy or illegitimacy).
4. IP banning doesn't work - someone can always sign on from a friend's place (assuming they have any), work, the library, etc. Taking down bad posts works. Having thick skin and ignoring the ignorance works (good for politics, too). Personally, I recommend a good laugh at any "offensive" post you'll find on here.
Back on topic, Volquez for Cy Young...yeah, waaaay too early. But he's a small step behind Webb in the running as it currently stands. And Webb will have a few days where the sinker doesn't bite and he still throws 91...Volquez will always have his heater. Keep an eye out, though, as the kid seems to be improving (only 2 walks, 74 strikes, 5 K's - pitching to more contact, more efficient).
Too bad about Keppinger - hope he makes a quick recovery - that can be a very painful injury. I'm excited to see some of Janish, however, as the guy seems to have learned how to hit - and he can flat-out play defense. Think Gonzo meets a less-skilled Keppinger. I hope he shines and forces us to think about long-term (him and EE and Keppinger - one in LF).
Hey CSA....how's your buddy Cantu? LOL
Kepp is a pure BAMF for playing two more innings with a broken kneecap.
Volquez is the one man keeping the Reds from being the joke of MLB...
Janish & Hairman, Professional Shortstops, Inc., will not come close to making up for Keppinger's loss.
If Arroyo's "return" was just a Prague Spring, the losing will return soon, and in force.
With Arroyo and Belisle a good season seems impossible, no matter who is playing short.
