Fallerjw Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 The Reds are tied for first and are 8-2 in their last 10. If they don't dump all of their good players this year, they may have a shot at the playoffs. If their pitching staff holds up and they don't get too many injuries they could win 90+ games.

RedRaiders Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 If the starters can hold up they'll keep this run going - they may need to go out and get another starter by the deadline if they're still in it. Tough call by management as they're in a tough division and selling out for a run this year could hurt them down the road. When is Claussen coming up? he could be the extra boost needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newman Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Picking up Danny Graves back on April 12th Not sold on this guy. Despite the 20 saves, as a Reds fan he scares the #### out of me. The reality is that despite 20 saves, he's already blown 4 opportunities - not a good save % at all. What's remarkable is that he already has 24 chances in only 44 games.

Fallerjw Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Picking up Danny Graves back on April 12th Not sold on this guy. Despite the 20 saves, as a Reds fan he scares the #### out of me. He just about blew it again Saturday. 3 straight hits to lead off the 9th, and it took Castro's diving catch to save the game. I don't feel comfortable going into the 9th with Graves unless the Reds have a 3 run or more lead. He's already given up like 7 HRs in 26 innings (too lazy to look it up).

shining path Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 Anyone watch Saturday night's game? Watching 40 year old Larkin score from first on Casey's double was invigorating. Watched Larkin's triple last night with a bunch of idiot Houston homers. Hardest slide at 2nd/3rd I've seen in a long time.And yes, he dud beat the tag.As for Graves, he is a pretty scary closer, but I've seen scarier. Don't they have somebody to spell him in the role? 25 attempts in less than 50 game is going to wear him out I'd think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have been in the NLCS, but he swung and missed and when the bat hit his shoulder it snapped in two. Very cool...well except for the missing part.Oh yeah, and Paul O'Neill nailing a runner at third from RF in the NLCS.Dibble, Charlton, and Myers were about the goofiest trio out there. Pro sports needs more characters like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
