Re: Opening Day 4.1.13: Reds vs. Angels
Flip flop Hanigan and Cozart in the lineup!
(That's right, it's game one and I'm complaining about the lineup!)

Re: Opening Day 4.1.13: Reds vs. Angels

I think there is a very good chance that this will be the most stable lineup the Reds have had in a very long time... at least against starting RHP but maybe against LHP too since it is LRLRLR the first six batters.

Im pissed this isnt on national tv

Re: Opening Day 4.1.13: Reds vs. Angels
Its amazing how much hype the Angels lineup gets. I honestly would take Reds players at every position but CF and RF. Even then the Reds have real quality players at those 2 positions.

Cozart over Aybar?

Yeah you are right. After looking at it Aybar has more power than I thought. I under sold him on the overall hitter he was.

No Trumbo?

Not over Ludwick 2012 version no way. Trumbo OBP would drive Reds fans nuts.

Re: Opening Day 4.1.13: Reds vs. Angels
Feels good to finally have a capable leadoff hitter but not just that hes probably one of the best in the game
-
Re: Opening Day 4.1.13: Reds vs. Angels
It's so refreshing to look at the lead-off spot of the lineup and actually see someone that's actually capable of hitting lead-off occupying the spot.
-
Re: Opening Day 4.1.13: Reds vs. Angels
I like Cozart in the #7 slot.. He's got some pop.. Hopefully he can drive in Frasier and Bruce over the course of the year.
Hannigan has really thrived in the #8 slot, and is valuable there.
-
Re: Opening Day 4.1.13: Reds vs. Angels
You can't help but get excited about that lineup. 1-8 all have 15-20+ HR potential and Choo and his career .381 OBP will be awesome hitting in front of Votto after what we've gone through the last few years.

Jeff P needs to stay out of the tanning bed for a while

Re: Opening Day 4.1.13: Reds vs. Angels
From a pitching standpoint I wouldn't throw Josh Hamilton a ball in the strike zone until he walks 2 times.

Re: Opening Day 4.1.13: Reds vs. Angels
Did anyone else just see that Pete Rose commercial?
-
Re: Opening Day 4.1.13: Reds vs. Angels
Can't believe it is finally here. So excited for a fresh start after the way last season ended.
-
Re: Opening Day 4.1.13: Reds vs. Angels
I'm kinda curious if Hamilton will get any sort of ovation for his first at bat
-
Re: Opening Day 4.1.13: Reds vs. Angels
Is it too early to declare this a must-win game?

Negative.

Re: Opening Day 4.1.13: Reds vs. Angels
We'll soon find out if Spring Training means anything
-
Re: Opening Day 4.1.13: Reds vs. Angels
Hamilton was cheered during pregame introductions.

Re: Opening Day 4.1.13: Reds vs. Angels
Jayson Stark @jaysonst 5m
Hamilton said people came up to him in hotel & said they wish he was still with #Reds. His reply: "Then why'd you trade me?"
Apparently Josh's babysitters have him under the impression that fans make trades.

I can see why he'd have that reaction.
Josh was the feel good story of the year.. then as soon as he was traded, many (not all) fans suddenly decided he was a ticking timebomb that was going to relapse, have a serious injury, etc, etc.
In other words, plenty of fans turned on him when he was traded for a handful of magic beans (Volquez).

Re: Opening Day 4.1.13: Reds vs. Angels
At opening day 2006 they had a B2 bomber fly over the stadium, now it's just three random small jets, kinda in formation...

In fairness to those fans he HAS relapsed at least twice since then.

Re: Opening Day 4.1.13: Reds vs. Angels
Hamilton IS a ticking time bomb. He's literally one failed drug test from being kicked out of baseball, and we've seen he's relapsed with alcohol already.
-
Re: Opening Day 4.1.13: Reds vs. Angels
As first pitch hasn't happened yet, I'm changing my prediction:
104 wins.
-
Re: Opening Day 4.1.13: Reds vs. Angels
Wow. First 7 batters in this lineup likely easily hit double-digit homeruns. That's awesome.
-
Re: Opening Day 4.1.13: Reds vs. Angels
In all honesty Josh has had some injuries since leaving Cincinnati, which was one of the fears the club had. I don't know that he's been "injury-prone".
But I do imagine that some of those same fans who wish he was still here would think he was a lazy bum for getting hurt too.
