(finally) good Reds news, pt. 2...
Cincinnati's Dunn sets single-season strikeout mark
Showing the courage which could make him into a hell of a manager, Dave Miley started Adam Dunn today, when he was on the cusp of breaking the sing-season strikeout record, held for 34 years by Bobby Bonds.
If you'll remember a few years back, the pusillanimous manager of the Milwaukee Brewers sat shortstop Jose Hernandez on the last day of the season when he was at 188 K's (189 was the old record).
I'm glad Miley played Dunn for two reasons: (1) he's the Reds' best hitter, and (2) a strikeout is just an out, anyway. Good for Miley for recognizing those facts.
