man, I wish Dunn would hit with men on base

[AdamDunn#44]

that dunn HR wasnt just a HR. it was a bomb. prolly 450 feet.

[CincyRedsFan30]

Dunn only has 65 RBI despite hitting 5th/6th/7th most of this year. He only came into tonight in the top 25 in MLB in RBI. He just sucks so much.

[CincyRedsFan30]

Another HR for Dunn, and it was with RISP. He still sucks though, because he Ks too much.

And more examples why Contact=Good

Do you suppose Narron might get a clue after tonight and allow him to keep batting fourth.

Having said that. Dunn should still be batting above .251 (.270 range, and I won't complain)

[CincyRedsFan30]

You guys do realize the difference between .251 and .270 is a handfull of hits, right?

Dunn has been one of the worst "bad ball" hitters over the past few years. His numbers would come down if he tried to swing at more pitches.
