I knew it. He was on my SOM team in those days… Amazing talent… How could I have forgotten Eric Davis? One of my college roommates was a huge Reds fan, born in Kentucky, across the river from Cincinnati. The problem with Eric Davis was he only knew one way to play - all out, all the time. The guy couldn't stay healthy due to running into walls, diving for catches, just playing with abandon. He had as much talent as anyone. I know the Kentuckians loved their Reds. There was a young guy in our office when I was there that loved Wily Mo Peña. He used to thank me for giving him to the Reds… |

I'm not in a hurry to see Britton back with the Yankees, he drove my crazy with his wildness. Britton could walk the house with one power sinker after another. He had a good breaking ball that he should have used more to get ahead, and he threw hard enough to mix in a four-seam fastball up in the zone, but he just will not use anything other than the bottom of the strike zone. Maybe that will change with new catchers and Matt Blake. He did start to adapt a bit just before his injury made curtailed his effectiveness and finally shut him down… |

I dunno, man. Britton obviously had to be taken out for a reason. Should we really call him up and put him in game situations knowing he could crumble at any second? I'm not in a hurry to see Britton back with the Yankees, he drove my crazy with his wildness. Still replaying that stupid Field of Dreams walkoff in my head.. |

I hated it before they played it. I hated it during the game. I hated the ending, and I hated it when it was over. I still hate it, even when other teams play there. Iowa. MLB Baseball. Corn. How does that even make sense?…It should have stayed a movie… |

What are the odds that both pitchers throw nine innings? When was the last time that happened?

I'm not in a hurry to see Britton back with the Yankees, he drove my crazy with his wildness. That's kinda where I am with Britton. Wipeout stuff, but never a clean inning. We may need him this year, tho. |

Somethings in baseball just can't be explained, like this game.

"they don't want Marinaccio in this spot" Kay just said. Sums up Boone's clueless bullpen management right there.
