5/18/10- Brewers @ Reds/ Heisey bats 5th (Votto & Rolen FTW!)

Check it:

Cabrera 6
Phillips 4
Votto 3
Gomes 7
Heisey 8
Bruce 9
Hanigan 2
Janish 5
Bailey 1

vs. LHP Manny Parra

I'm not sure what to think. It's certainly interesting for an off-day lineup (a day where some players get a day off, not the team)

Also, it's our 1st day game in 1st place.

Keep in mind it's radio only. Start time 12:35

320

I thought Janish was dead.

"Not hardly"

Interesting that Stubbs would get the breather vs the lefty and not Bruce.

This is Parra's first start of the season. he will either have a great game or get run off the mound early. I'm hoping for the latter.

I didn't even realize it was a 1235 game. Man, I would have been annoyed with myself when I sat down at 7 tonight expecting a game.

No TV either today. Just saw the Live version of this new app in action. Looks pretty cool. :thumbup:

Heisey bats 5th- MAYBE NOT

That lineup was from Sheldon and was then posted by Fay.

But Jamie Ramsey's lineups are actually pictures of the lineups posted in the clubhouse. The picture today has Heisey leading off and OCab 5th, switching them.

W/ another day game after a night game on Thursday, I'm guessing we're going to see some more "resting of starters" this week. I wouldn't mind seeing Janish get the nod at SS tomorrow to give Ocab a day off and allow Janish a chance at back to back games and maybe get in some consitant at bats over a couple of days. Perhaps you could say the same regarding Bruce/Heisey.

Just mostly dead.

I always look at competition as a way to get guys to perform their best. I like the idea of reminding stubbs that he still has to play well in order to start everyday in CF. Not saying that he has played bad as of late, but letting a young guy who is fully capable of playing through a wierd schedule (like we have today) sit back and watch someone play the spot he has "locked up" is always a good thing.

which means a little bit alive. With all dead there is only one thing you can do.

What's that?

Eh, I would have liked the first lineup. Let O-Cabs continue to thrive up top. Don't mess with whats working.
