Zack Cozart is up, so is Carlos Fisher

We screamed that SOMETHING-ANYTHING should be done for Cincinnati Reds.
Oh, well. Something DID happen this afternoon.

Paul Janish and Edinson Volquez are sent down, and Zack Cozart and Carlos Fisher are called up。

It's a start, which is not a bad thing. We just hope Baker know that he should put Cozart in the line up for the next 10 games.

About Carolos Fisher, we know he will be here for three days only. He is not a starter. Reds need someone to pitch for Volquez spot on Sunday. Now, the reasonable guess is that Dontrelle Willis will take the spot on Sunday. The obvious guess is Carlos Fisher will be sent down again. I am glad to see him coming back, it shows that his arm is fine after the horrific 18 inning game.

And we know we need him in the bullpen because of last night's 13 innings. I was so pissed off by Reds. How can you blow a 8-0 lead? They did. The good thing is that they got a W in the end. I was so pissed that I went to bed after top of 11th inning. Did I regret not seeing the end? No, I just glad they are 3 games out of first place instead of 5 games.

Again, things haven't changed much. Reds have played well against Brewers this year, 7-2. Hopefully, they will do the same, get 3 Ws minimum from this series.

Reds sucks

okay,該是面對現實的時候了,球季已經過了一半了。
棒球不似美式足球。美式足球僅有短暫的球季,所以有時候運氣的成份有很大的影響。
而棒球,一個162場比賽的球季。已經經過80多場的實戰驗證。
Reds球迷也大概心裡有數了,this Reds team is not that good, actually, they sucks。

但是棒球又不似美式足球。在美式足球,you play what you have。而在棒球,你有農場系統跟交易。在這個Reds還在中區競爭群中,something can be done, something needs to be done。

我想可以調度的兩個位置是SS, and one outfielder。Reds need some power hitters。不了解的球評光看數據都說Reds的打擊是國聯最好的,有最高的打點。okay, not really, that's the average。基本上,TOS, the offense sucks。

我現在對Stubbs已經有點厭倦了。His strikeout number is never going to have significant improve. It is what it is。Or do something in the LF, I have never been a big fan of Gomes。Even his hitting is much better now。I still think Reds should give Heisey a chance。

另外關於Volquez,我有不同的看法。他Tommy John後復出還不到一年。Reds have to live with and see what he can do after one year。He might be a force,or a bust. It is just too early to tell。

Anyway, Walt, make some deals, call up some farm players. Do something before it is too late。
