Balta1701 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Apr 1, 2012 -> 05:37 PM) Is this the right thing to do with Flowers? I don't know that I see him as someone who needs "fixing". What if he's just a patient fastball hitter who has some pop? To me the main question is can he catch, and if so..I don't need major changes offensively from him. If he can't, then he doesn't play. There's still some real room for improvement offensively from him if he can slightly cut down on the strikeouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 (edited) 8 consecutive retired by Latos. Santiago's Puerto Rican by way of the NY/NJ area, right? Konerko with yet another hit up the middle. Out of the game for Conor Jackson, pinch-running. Edited April 1, 2012 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 (edited) 3 run homer off the bat of Viciedo. DJ called it, down the left-field line...one-armed swing. Apparently, there's a wicked cross-wind blowing across the field....off the bat, it looked way foul. Wind playing tricks with the Reds' OF this inning.

Balta1701 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Worst HR call ever for Viciedo. "That's foul. ... ... ... ... It's comin' back it's a fair ball and you can put it on the board y-es!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomPickle Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 1, 2012 -> 04:48 PM) Worst HR call ever for Viciedo. "That's foul. ... ... ... ... It's comin' back it's a fair ball and you can put it on the board y-es!" It was a fitting call for how bad that swing was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 1, 2012 -> 05:48 PM) 3 run homer off the bat of Viciedo. DJ called it, down the left-field line...one-armed swing. Viciedo took a good pitch off the end of the bat and still hit it probably 350 feet. WInd helped a little but man. He makes bad contact and it's a HR.

caulfield12 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 (edited) No DJ, it's not TRAY-CIE Thompson. C'mon. At least it can't get any worse than Melton. Unless he's doing the Brewers game tmrw, we've survived/escaped his "analysis" for yet another year, except on Comcast. Flowers hits the ball so hard it can't quite get out...absolutely hammered.

Balta1701 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 2 RBI single for Lillibridge. LHP got the ball up and in on Brent and he inside-outed it into short right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 (edited) Mitchell 9/25 (.360) on the spring and opening up lots of eyes again. Viciedo 5 for his last 13, at least up to a more respectable .189, compared to where he was a week ago. Right now, the biggest concern for the line-up has to be Rios, with the pitching staff, no idea what we'll get out of Peavy at this point. Eric Morrison clears the bases with a triple. 11-4 now. 6 runs now and counting. Edited April 1, 2012 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Second straight hard single right up the middle for Mitchell. If nothing else, these guys are really doing great work "Right up the middle". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Supposedly, Manto's really been working with them on 2 strike hitting up the middle. Mitchell now 10 for 26 (.385), showing off his speed as the Reds made two "unforced" errors with Jared at 1st and 3rd. Thompson with a liner right to 3B, well struck. Ludwick and Heisey homers off Zach Stewart. Now 5 runs given up by Zach in 1 2/3rd's. Might have to bring back Bruney, Axelrod or Stults. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
