And Adam Dunn........

[FlyersFan]

starts out his D-Backs career with a K............:laughing:

[Stifler's Mom]

:cheer: :wave: :spin: :boom:

[Horfin]

They should get used to this box score/stats:

Runner on third....BA .125
Runner on Second BA .162
Runners on 2nd & THird BA .188

3 SO per game, 1 HR every two games (unless someone is on base)
1 error per game.

Not that my Reds are any better off with a P in Sarasota and two other unknown players, but **** when you are 162 games below .500 who cares.

:thumbs:

and there it is....1st and 2nd 2 outs and he strikes out yet again. He is the least clutch hitter in baseball.

Hey and not to mention Horfin, he is a career .221 hitter in August and September.....:beerbang:

as they said today on WLW.....15M is wayyy too much to pay a 1 dimensional player and certainly too much for one in Cincinnati. He is a home run hitter, not a run producer, big difference.

[FlyersFan]

1-4 tonight including hitting into a DP and a K.......now 2-7 with 3K's for Arizona, no RBI's and no runs scored.

lmao....gonna keep the dunner watch going because i think this might have been the all time stupidest trade in the history of baseball.

wonder if Arizona thought dunn played 2nd.

[FlyersFan]

LMFAO.......COL up 6-5 with 2nd and 3rd and 2 outs and they intentionally walk Conor Jackson to pitch to Adam Dunn..........:laughing:



and he grounds out....:laughing:.........if that isn't an indictment on Adam Dunn i don't know what is.....

nice 1-5 tonight Dunner......great trade when they actually walk one of your players to pitch to the guy you just traded for with the bases loaded.

oh but wait....he draws some walks so that makes it all better............:laughing:

THIRTEEN STRAIGHT games now folks without hitting a HR, driving in a run or scoring a run. Andruu Jones, is that you????


that's it for tonight on dunnerwatch 2008

[Horfin]

He will hit one walk off HR and it will be all over ESPN that it was a great trade.

I am waiting for his first error.

-------------
Reds had to give back the Pitcher that they gave up Dunn for. He was injured and injured players can't be placed on waiver wire. (Apparently).

So who got the better deal?

Reds.:thumbs:

[JB]

I heard Cinci was getting Micha Owings in that deal as the "player to be named later"
He will not be named until after the season is over....but I heard Cinci was getting him in that deal.

[JB]

According to the Arizona Republic, Diamondbacks pitcher Micah Owings is one of the players to be named later in the Adam Dunn trade. Owings is 6-9 with a 5.93 ERA, but is hitting .288 with 1 HR. The newspaper suggests that he was put on waivers and another team claimed him, and that is why he wasn't included initially. If he were to be pulled back, the Diamondbacks would have to wait until the end of the season before they could trade him.

Owings is a bottom rotation type starter and hasn't shown any major improvements in his two years. I doubt they would move him to hitting, but he won't play any major role for the Reds.

[FlyersFan]

I think Adam Dunn should run a "K for Kids" charity program where he donates like 1,000 for every time he whiffs to some local kids charity. At least then most of his at bats could be considered productive.


JB- i don't think the Reds really cared what they got for him. The only way they were going to receive any type of compensation for him (ie the 2 #1 picks) was if they offered him arbitration at the end of the year and he said no. If they had just let him loose at the end of the year, they wouldn't have received anything. So something is always better than nothing, and it was more a matter of just getting his low energy show out of town so they could look at some younger players like that Dickerson they brought up.

[Stifler's Mom]

I cannot personally think of a player i would less like to have on my team than Adam Dumb. He's worthless. He gives up more runs with his crappy defense (not being able to get to balls other guys who move faster than 2 mph would get, plus throwing like a girl and having guys advance extra bases on his pathetic noodle arm) than he produces at the plate, and costs his team unknown amounts of runs by striking out continually with guys in scoring position (or grounding in to double plays), when a guy who might actually have a chance to do something COULD be up there in his place.

I am willing to bet (without looking) that 80% of Dumb's homeruns were either solo shots and/or in games that were already out of hand one way or the other.

I don't give a rip about the Reds or the D'bags, but the guy just ******* sucks. Getting rid of him was probably the best move the Reds (or any organization) has made in a long time, and Arizona picking him up was without a doubt the stupidest move made this season, if not in many seasons.

Maybe since the last team (whoever it was) who gave Billy Koch one last shot at the closer role :laughing:

But hey, at least he's "country strong" or whatever it exactly is the dumbasses on Fox Sports Arizona keep saying about him :boog:

[FlyersFan]

dunnwatch2008 update....

1-4 with only 1K tonight...very impressive......equally impressive is how you can play in a game that is 12-2 and manage to be the only guy other than the pitcher not to drive in a run........he did score a run, though.

Now 4-16 with Arizona........just think if they hadn't made that trade they would have only been up 11-2 instead of 12-2.......:laughing:


Homerless month of August for Stifler's buddy Adam Dumb continues......:thumbs:..........

LMAO.....WTF was ARI thinking. dude is batting .167 in August, hasn't had a multi-hit game all month, nor a HR.


this is like the car wreck you say don't look, but then can't help watching.


Steve Balboni is that you????

I think Adam Dunn should run a "K for Kids" charity program where he donates like 1,000 for every time he whiffs to some local kids charity. At least then most of his at bats could be considered productive.

"K for Kids"....lmao.... :beerbang:

[JohnnyMapleLeaf]

Maybe since the last team (whoever it was) who gave Billy Koch one last shot at the closer role :laughing:

Following the 2004 season Billy Koch was signed to a 1-year contract by his original team, the Toronto Blue Jays. He was released by the team during Spring Training, at which time an angry Koch announced that he would not attempt to sign with another team, so that the Blue Jays would be on the hook for 'every penny' of his $950,000 salary. As of 2007, he has not played baseball professionally since then.

During Toronto's 2nd game of the season at Tampa Bay, Koch showed up at the game wearing a replica jersey of Aubrey Huff, at the time a Devil Rays player. Koch joked with the Toronto Bullpen, heckling the Blue Jays and calling one of the pitchers a "bum"

:laughing:
