EDIT: Your announcers don't know what they are talking about; last year Stubbs drew the 34th most pitches per AB in the majors: http://espn.go.com/mlb/stats/batting/_/year/2011/sort/pitchesPerPlateAppearance/qualified/true/type/expanded
I particularly enjoyed hearing the announcer tonight begin to name Stubbs by accidently beginning to say the name Adam Dunn.
At least Adam could hit more home runs for whatever good that did the Reds.

Stubbs goes deep into the count? Last I heard some announcers were dogging him because they said he does NOT go deep into the count and was one reason why he should not be a lead off hitter.
Here are the stats on Stubbs in 36 at bats this year.
Average .167
On base % .211
Srrike outs 12
Walks 2
The only other batter that is as bad is Rolan with rified Corey Patterson cause everytime he gets up to bat I get the same sick feeling in my gut.

Originally posted by no1marauderYawn..... the Reds aren't even playing .500 ball yet.
The surging Reds, winners of three of their last four, get a day off. They are back home and the punchless Giants are coming in to be the next sacrificial lamb. Maybe we'll lose one to them, but I doubt it.
Could you please refrain from glorifying them until they at least reach mediocrity?
Thanks.

Reds [b]WILL NOT win the World Series in 2012.
Spoiled your ending, but it had to be done.
My guess is you will cease chirping about them in June.[/b]
Golly Gee, I wonder if those Yankees can make the playoffs this year as well.......
