Does anyone know the whereabouts of Jason Conti?

[brettac1]

Texas?

[brettac1]

Russ is back!

[jloos19]

I love when Russell Branyan starts....

[LUKE232323]

Oh my lord, a Branyan sighting.

 

I can't remember the last time he went deep. Was it at New York?

[Tailgat0r76]

So prince, since he isn't getting any ABs here, is still eligible for ROY next year correct? Or has he reached the magic number?

[kretzl]

I didn't even realize Russ was playing. LOL Woohoo!

[cirillo26]

August 6th. @ Philly.

[cirillo26]

Right tailgator, the magic number is 130 ABs.

[rluzinski]

Yes, Prince will be a rookie next year.

[jloos19]

yeah, prince would still be eligible for ROY next year.

[brettac1]

Well, it was only 42 AB's, so it wasn't that much of a drought.

[Brian the Automator]

Jason Conti just finished up a complete year at AAA Oklahoma, posting a .746 OPS.

[thunderbat30]

Overbay is starting because he killsReds pitching and he is are starting 1B this year. I know some want to see Prince all the time but that will come next year.

[endaround]

Everyone kills Reds ptiching. Thats why they are below .500

[rluzinski]

I know I'm starting to beat this to death but:

 

Trade Overbay, Ohka and Clark for a young starting pitcher and one other prospect.

 

Move Hall to 2B

Move Weeks to CF

Branyan/Cirillo platoons at 3B

[rluzinski]

Yeh Branyan, you might want to just NOT throw that next time. He's sure lucky it hit the runner's leg.

[jloos19]

I couldn't agree more Russ... who would you leadoff with?

[SoCalBrewfan]

Nice to have Branyan make his presence known once again. And how about that Bill Hall this month...OPS almost 1000, but without a HR?

[cirillo26]

Overbay has hit .489 against Cincy this year with 6 HR and 18 RBIs.

 

He has crushed the Reds harder than any other team. And the Crew IS trying to finish with a winning record this year.

 

Prince's time will come.

[markwitx]

Tomo strikes out the side!

[cirillo26]

I like that idea too, Russ. Weeks would have to become a lead-off hitter (IMO)

[BrewCityUnit]

My buddy said Russell would hit 4 HR's tonight since no one would be at Miller Park to see it. 1 down, 3 to go

[rluzinski]

Man, Weeks doesn't look like the Rickie that was called up.

 

If Overbay finishes with a batting average over .280 I win $20 from my buddy. I thought my chances were over after he was batting .270 2 weeks ago. Darn it, a walk. Walks don't raise the batting average, man!

[SoCalBrewfan]

Darn it, a walk.

 

Now I've seen everything.
