it’s time to bring up BRUCE from AAA.Dunn will hit, but when?His big loopy swing is being used against him.Pitchers are pitching him high and inside.They don’t fear him.THAT’S BAD FOR THE REDS.The Reds are an aging home run hitting team,ie dunn ,griffey,and are mediocre on defence.The Reds have relied on the homer to score runs.This year the homer is absent,hence no offence.Hopefully Dunn and Griffey come around and the Reds can make the playoffs .This is a underachieving team that needs rookie blood,ie.BRUCE.
If they don’t fear Dunn, why is he pitched outside of the zone so much?
My wife and I went to the Bats game. It was a tough loss. Pettyjohn pitched good except for the 4th inning when he gave up all three of his runs.
Bruce was hitless. The Reds scored two in the 8th, both of the runs were charged to former Red Scott Williamson. Too bad the Bats won’t be back in Richmond again this year. I’d like to see them again.
