Soo glad Ramon is gone

I have this application for my iPhone that cost me like ten bucks that allows me to listen to all the games and I was listening to the Reds-Mets game on the way back to my apartment. Dang, Ramon gets stolen off way too easily. Had been stolen off twice in two innings. It is too bad that he stank up the joint for us. That first year he looked to be a good one but then again so did Javy Lopez.

I'm not a Ramon fan, but I'm guessing they got a good jump on the P.

No idea. First guy to get a steal was Reyes who's a good base stealer and then Ryan Church whom I am not sure what kind of speed and base running ability he has. Don't know what Aaron Harang's movement to the plate is like either.

So, I'm watching the Reds/Mets game, and there is Ramon, already a base stolen on him, a past ball. Mets announcers already questioning some of the pitch calling.

Well, bless his heart. I hope he makes it with the Reds. I hope he does well there.

wow, I was so excited when we drafted Darnell, I thought he would be the next big thing to happen to the O's. Boy was I wrong!

Thta man should have stuck with Football. I beleive he turned downthe UT longhorns to sign with the O's. He wouldhave had more success in football. IMO. But I too wish him well.

Anybody else seeing the number of bats that have split almost down the middle in this game? Is the maple bat thing not going to get resolved until somebody gets turned into a kabob?

I've read about a protective film they could use to coat the bats, keeping the bat together even if it breaks. Seems like a good idea to me.

Those steals were on the pitcher, not Ramon, and he nearly got Reyes on that first steal of the game. I can't imagine what this game has been like for either team when it's not even 40F here while raining most of the afternoon. That's just miserable for Opening day. :(

And what is this.....dump on the Reds day here?! Geesh. :angryfire:

    • Starting point has changed.  Given the fact he has approx 1/7th of his season in the books at 1.139, to OPS just .780 for the season, he'd have to drop off to under .730 the rest of the way.  That sort of drop off wouldn't be acceptable to me. I'd like him to OPS .800 the rest of the way for roughly .850 for the season.  The more they use him in a platoon role, the better I think that number might be.
    • Can I ask how you timed it vs the DVR?  Did you use a stopwatch or count click with pause/FF, or something else?
    • I can’t fathom why anyone would want a Tanner Scott return. In 10 innings, he is 0-4 with a 1.78 whip. He was maddening before, and now he’s older. But I wonder if the Red Sox would part with Justin Slaten? He’s been pretty outstanding. Yeah, only 8 innings, but we hired Yohan Ramirez, and he’s been a catastrophe in 10. Yes, I know he’s a rule 5, and the Bosox are in the East. And their pitching is pretty thin, too. But they know they aren’t going anywhere in this division, and they might think getting a good return for a Free Rule 5 guy might be worthwhile.
    • This draft unfolded weirdly.  First with the *nix guys getting taken early and then how no defensive players got taken all draft, and then a bunch of teams reaching for OTs.  I'm pretty happy with how the draft unfolded because I think we got a player that I expected to be gone by the teens or early 20s.  I don't know what we're doing with our OL but hopefully we can maybe trade up from 62 to pick someone up.
    • I have it on dvr and I timed it four times. I got 10.75, 10.80, 10.74, and 10.78.
    • This is exactly what EDC said tonight     
    • My guess is more of a safety profile than they preferred. They clearly wanted Wiggins. They ran that pick up fast. And then when you listen to the press conference, the love for the player was obvious.
