Young Reds Show Late Season Spark

Posted by CincyRedhawk on 2. September 2009 17:14

Following the Reds since the All Star break hasn't been an easy thing for fans.  The Reds were right in the hunt at the break, but started off the second half plummeting far out of contention.  That has been a recurring theme in these parts the last several years.  This year there seem to be a lot of bright spots that haven't been there in years past. 

The Reds have won 9 of their last 11 games, and it's the young guys that are contributing to the surprise of many.  It looks like Homer Bailey has maybe decided to tap into all this potential we've been hearing about since he was drafted.  He struck out a career high 8 batters, and in his previous start he struck out 7.  He's won all 3 of his last starts providing a quality start each time.

Another surprise has been the power of Drew Stubbs.  A lot of people wanted to see him with the big league club when Bruce went down, but the Reds held off until they needed a center fielder.  In AAA this uear Stubbs hit 3 HR's, and with the Reds he's already hit 4 in his first 15 games.  I expected Stubbs to come up and help out defensively, but it's been his offense that's been the eye opener thus far.

Could this be a sign of things to come in the future or just a late season tease?  Keep your fingers crossed!

    Если Вам нужна няня - смело обращайтесь в наше агентство. Не следует подавать в газету бессмысленные объявления по типу \"Нужна няня. Няня Киев). Достаточно просто прийти, обратиться к специалистам \"Светланы\" с фразой \"Ищу няню\", и можете быть уверены - спустя короткое время для Вас подберут несколько кандидатур.

    You gave nice ideas here. I done a research on the issue and learnt most peoples will agree with your blog. Certainly, these practices are unfair; but they say that most of their rules are only to apply to people who overdraw.

    I have been looking around #hostname and really am impressed by the great content material here. I work the nightshift at my job and it really gets boring. I've been coming here for the previous couple nights and reading. I simply needed to let you know that I've been enjoying what I have seen and I look forward to reading more.

    No more destroyed careers! Now university students have a chance to buy an essay and get better marks.  

  • LILIANA said,

    lol a couple of the reviews bloggers write are just silly and unrelated, sometimes i wonder whether they at all read the post before writing or whether they merely look at the subject of the post and write the very first thought that comes to their minds. But it is nice to find a fresh commentary every now and then in contrast to the exact same, traditional blog garbage which I oftentimes notice on the blogs. Cheers

  • essay writing said,

    If you need to get an admittance in a school, college or a university or command any help in any kind of job, so don’t get anxious. Get ideas about your creation by using essay writing service. I don’t comprehend that there is anything immoral in using  writing services.
