7 this year. hitting .269/.367/.538, 2 HR. Career 100 starts .237/.329/.427 17 HR MT “@MartyMcKee: How many times has Jay batted 4th?”
I wonder how long Dusty will give Bruce in the 4th spot a chance to work out? Or will he move Ludwick back there once he gets going a bit better.

I started the first one, but they will likely just merge them later.

Reds go from a hitter with a .320 OBP in the 2 hole to one with a .310 OBP

I hope Bruce stays in 4 hole against RHP. I would rather have 3 ABs with he and Votto back to back against a RHP then worry about 1/2 against a LHP late in game.
Re: 08/28/2013-Reds-vs-Cardinals
Why is Cozart in the lineup tonight after that base running mistake yesterday? Do these guys not have consequences? Grow a pair Dusty and hold these guys accountable.
Re: 08/28/2013-Reds-vs-Cardinals
Nice that Dusty has tried to shake up the lineup a bit.
I appreciate the effort. Might as well bat Phillips #2, and see how it works now as opposed to waiting until the playoffs.
Big game tonight.. A win tonight earns us a little respect.
A loss.. well, that pretty much kills any chance of winning the division.

Then he needs to bench his third base coach too.
The batting order is ok, but the last five hitters in it could be a real snooze fest against Wainright.

So we're praising Dusty now for making a common-sense move on Aug. 28?
Just like dropping Stubbs last year in September.
Frustrating.

Because starting Izturis doesn't just punish Cozart, it punishes all of us.

I see someone saying it's good that Dusty is trying to mix things up, but I'm not seeing any "praise".

Brandon tweeted he went to Dusty and asked to make a change.. SAD your manager cant do this and see it..waits weeks for a player to ask him
Re: 08/28/2013-Reds-vs-Cardinals
So you move the only guy in your lineup that can drive in runs, UP, to the two hole.
Interesting.

If Bruce were 4th all year, he'd have a lot more RBI than Phillips has currently. Not to mention Votto would probably have slightly better numbers too, with the better protection he would have.
