I just wanted to stop in and say a few things

First off I think Souldrummer is one of the most popular guests at Red Reporter.

Also I am really excited to see this kid pitch tonight, I haven’t had a chance to watch him yet. So I’m hoping we win 2-1.

Enjoy the game.

I am thrilled for your success, hell I'm amazed by it. Nobody who knows you saw this coming.

He's a lot of fun

This kid Leake is fun to watch, too. He’s an athlete – in his first game against the Nats I remember thinking that he can not only hit (all pitchers hit against the Nats, it’s a scandal really) but he also runs the bases well.

I’m hoping for an 8-0 Nats win tonight, but that’s just me ;-)

I hope for him to win a triple crown one year, Cy Young, Sliver Slugger, and Gold Glove!

Quick question:

I realized I was still registered from the Royals series, which gives me the opportunity to ask what the deal is with Strasburg’s pitch count at this point in the season. I know about his seasonwide inning count, but what’s his absolute limit set at from game to game?

Arroyo's too inconsistent

Over at Red Reporter, depending on the evening he’s either Goodroyo or Badroyo, and there’s really no in between. Hell, last season he sucked something awful in the 1st half, and was surprisingly arguably one of the best pitchers in baseball in the 2nd half.

by Highlifeman21 on Jul 21, 2010 9:28 PM EDT up reply actions  

Heh, inconsistent pitchers are a constant for the Nats...

…although half good/half bad would be great. Last few seasons, it’s usually 3 or 4 crappy starts, one good game (with no run support, so it’s still a loss), then another 3 or 4 bad starts…

The problem with the inconsistency is that he's been untradeable

and now we’re most likely just going to not pick up his option and buy him out, since if we offer him arbitration I have a bad feeling he’d accept, and he might actually make more than if we’d picked up his options

I get hammered over at Red Reporter for this all the time

but LF defense just doesn’t matter, especially when you’re comparing the Adam Dunns and Josh Willinghams of the world to guys like Carl Crawford. Seriously, baseball’s shown us that teams stick awful defense guys out in LF b/c they rake/thump/what have you.

What I find ironic is that we could NEVER get Dunn to play 1B regularly in Cincinnati. I think he maybe played 100 games (this is a guess, and I’m too lazy to get to fangraphs or baseball cube to double check) in his 7ish years. But again, I never had a problem with Dunn in LF b/c of what he brought to the plate. Dude gave us 100 R/40 HR/100 RBI like clockwork, while playing 150+ games a year. And let’s not forget that he’s at worst a what, .850 OPS bat? Gimme more of that, please.

by Highlifeman21 on Jul 21, 2010 9:45 PM EDT up reply actions  

I think it was Rob Neyer that said strikeouts hurt our feelings

and I guess the casual Reds fans just could never get past the strikeouts, and his batting average

Me, I never minded his strikeouts b/c he walked so damn much that his OBP was always excellent, to offset his AVG. He always had a high SLG, so his OPS was always stellar. I guess Cincinnati fans just wanted to see him swing the bat more, and rode him out of town b/c of the strikeouts.

Although I’m sure Red Reporter would classify me more as a Adam Dunn fanboy than a voice of reason.

by Highlifeman21 on Jul 21, 2010 9:49 PM EDT up reply actions  

Dunn is gold with the bat, no doubt.

The Ks are frustrating, but the walks and DINGERZ more than make up for ‘em. The poor fielding is a legit beef against Dunn’s overall value as a player, but with him settling in as only-slightly-below-average at first it’s all gravy.
