Thanks to Brodrod, now we have a graphic for the Free Edwin Encarnacion! movement (it’s in the sidebar, as well):
So what did EdE do last night? Well, Narron didn’t start him, of course, but Encarnacion pinch-hit and delivered big, with two RBI that led the Reds to a come-from-behind victory against the Mets.
There is no reason why Encarnacion shouldn’t be in the lineup every day! Let the big guy onto the field, Jerry Narron! Start him every single day! Free Edwin Encarnacion!



thanks for the link … this is a worthy cause for all Reds fans everywhere
i’m on board.
Boy, are you right about this. I absolutely do not understand the rationale behind this. Rich Aurilia is too hot? Really? I think it is an undue concern with defense, but EE is a legitimate talent who needs work.
Just because you were “holding your breath” on every ball (as Steve Stewart said last night) doesn’t mean that he didn’t make most of the plays. Breath, and put him in the lineup.
Edwin is in the line-up today.
I’m glad my userbar caught on.
Doesn’t pinch hitting for Edwin today diminish his confidence?
Was Narron’s reason for leaving Milton in the game on Tuesday was an attempt to boost his confidence.
The man is a contradiction of himself and the Reds gave him a freakin’ two year extension!
One of you guys who live in Cincy, drag Narron in the street…beat him senseless, convince him to resign and put us out of our misery!!! He not only is a living contradiction of himself, he is a frickin’ horrible manager, with crap for brains!!!!
The guys are right….as of now Narron is 0-2, but if we had tape and looked back, I’m sure we could pin at least 5 or 6 more on him…at least!!!
FREE EDWIN!!
Doesn’t pinch hitting for Edwin today diminish his confidence?
One would think so, especially after going 2 of 2 with a BB in three plate appearances … I said this in the game thread, but why PH for Double E who put those good numbers and didn’t leave a runner on base, but you allow Phillips to continue to play? Phillips went 1 for 5 with K and left SIX men on base.
Good call Narron, good call.
You know, Budweiser is going to be in Cincy soon to do a ‘Real Men of Genius’ commercial on Narron.
Double E has got to be thinking, “WHAT IN THE WORLD DO I HAVE TO DO TO STAY ON THE FIELD???”
In the last MONTH, Phillips is batting .228 (21 of 92) with 0 HRs, 7 RBIs, 10 R, 4 SB … Meanwhile, Double E is hitting .571 (granted he’s only gotten 8 hits in 14 ABs – Jerry, get a clue) and has 3 RBIs and 3 Runs.
Due the same period, Double E has almost half as many RBIs and 30% of runs scored in SEVENTY-EIGHT (78) LESS AT BATS!!!!!!
Double E needs to be ON the FIELD
