    I love Sean Casey.

    He's doing the Reds games this weekend because Welsh is off. Make sure you watch for a few innings, he's awesomely bad to the point its entertaining.

              I know what your talking about, the only thing I think Phillips has on Weeks is defense. The only reason why Weeks has 23 RBI's is because he is hitting leadoff. He shouldn't be a leadoff hitter because of the power that he has. If he was hitting #5, you could be looking at a .290/30/90 type hitter, while Phillips is like a .275/20/80 type hitter.

              Like you said though, both will probably make so it's not a big deal.
              The three hitters that hit in front of Rickie Weeks are the pitcher, Carlos Gomez, and Yuniesky Betancourt. If that's not enough to throw the RBIs out the window, I don't know what is. Weeks has a significant advantage in wOBA also.

                It is impossible for me to discuss this without being bias, but I look at it like this. Phillips has comparable offensive numbers, albeit clearly lower, no one is comparable defensively to Phillips.

                  Welsh has the weekend off. I think Casey is doing two games, I'm not sure if the Reds are on FOX Saturday again or not. Brenneman is working, yes.

                  I don't really like Welsh either, or Brantley. Both are too "folksy" for my tastes, but I suppose that plays well in Kentucky and Indiana.

                  Brenneman sucks this year. He's normally very good, upper echelon imo, but he's been weird this season. He was never a "rooter", but now he roots hard. I hate that. He also does odd shit like makes his calls before the play develops..."ground ball, this will will be out number two, Vottto up ne- NO! He bobbles it! Phillips is safe!"......"This one is popped up, one away. Wait, its out of play. 0-1." He never used to do that.

                    Yeah but for years we have had horrible tv announces, so a bad thom is better than the alternative.


                    I wish tv and radio were synchronized so I can listen to Marty and watch.

                      I think this is how all baseball fans feel. Or at least Brewer fans. Bob Uecker>All imo. Of course you really can't have a discussion on who has the best radio guy, because each fan romanticizes the announcer that they grew up listening to on the radio.
