From: john smith on 9 Jul 2010 23:58 Now I just better get back to that stat sheet. Oh here it is 24 saves for Coco Cordero. As I slap my hand on my head, I should have realized Cordero is just awesome. Man, the Reds are lucky to have this guy......

The dude knows what a strike zone is. One good thing to see about this newsgroup is we fuss wether we are in first or not . But no matter what they should have taken last nites game!
From: john smith on 10 Jul 2010 11:08 I have no solution on Cordero, his contract means the Reds are married to him at this point. In addition Baker doesn't have anyone else to go to at this point. I really don't know if there is a closer out there worth obtaining? As far as me criticizing Cordero or how the team is playing that is my right. I also give them credit when they play well. As far as Jay Bruce is concerned, he looks like a different player over the last 3 weeks. His total abandonment of patience is quite difficult to watch, especially over the last 10 games. I think it started getting bad with the Haliday homer at GAAP. He seems to look to jerk everything in the RF stands now.. Bruce is in more than a slump, he is starting to look like the player he was for most of the season last year minus September. This offense has done well but in reality it is very fragile. It has too many unproven commodities that one can say were playing over their heads. Add in Cabrera's age and Scott Rolen's health and it is prone to go south at anytime. I really hope the team rebounds but heading up against Doc and Hamels over the next two will be really tough. Another gut check time. Does anybody really believe this team can win a division with Cordero as the closer?

Oh I have a theory on why Mike Leake was in there after 8 innings yesterday, it was Dusty trying to get the young kid his first complete game. It was like trying to get Mike Lincoln a 3 inning save in the Atlana debacle. Oh well...... |
