Not so Easy Eddie Encarnacion is like a rubber ball...up...down...up....down.

My question is can Keppinger man the corner if Gonzalez comes back strong?

Kepp had another two hits today...this guy is the perfect #2 hitter....he has zero power..but the guy gets on base so often I don't know how they can put him on the bench.

Encarnacion is going to have to have a below the mendoza line-like April and Kepp will have to blow away in filling in for Gonz in order for Encarnacion to be concerned about losing his job.

No.In fact, I think Encarnacion's days of getting yanked around are long gone with Jerry Narron out. No question in my mind that IF Kepp continues to rake it will be Gonzalez who's job is in jeopardy not Edwin.

EE is the Reds best hitter with a runner on second...I heard that somewhere ....its true.

EE is far, far better than any other option the Reds have at 3B. And that includes Freel.

And I fully expect him to be hitting .280 w/ 25 HR's and 90+ RBI's this year. Really.

with that HR last night, i don't think i've ever seen an announcer stick his foot in his mouth so bad.

they were in the middle of a minor debate about how "clutch" encarnacion is and one them said "oh, he's not clutch at all....."

just as those words were hanging in the air (i'm not totally sure he got all the words out before) encarnacion smacks a 3 run walkoff to left.

it was a wonderful sports moment.

I was at the game so I didn't hear it, but let me guess... Jeff Brantley? He is a serious hater. Oh, and for the record Edwin is as clutch as they come for a role player.

He certainly made up for the awful throw to home in the 4th.

He certainly made up for the awful throw to home in the 4th.

But he didn't make up for the one Monday. How can you be in the majors and have no freaking clue how to bunt or throw a ball?

Yes, it was Brantley.

Ask 80% of the major leagues. The throwing problems are getting old though, no doubt.
