Great. I'll be there. Maybe they can get more than one hit tonight. Last year I saw the Red twice in DC and they scored two runs. One each game. Looks like it will be the same this year.
I guess Dusty is hitting Izturis second and Paul seventh because Izturis is a switch hitter so the Reds won't find themselves lefty,lefty,lefty against a lefty.
I disagree with this, Paul is the better hitter, and Reds are likely to hit for Paul if a lefty reliever comes in against him. So likely it won't be lefty, lefty, lefty against a lefty.
I think the use of XMan by this team is poor. Hitting him seventh in front of Corky Miller defeats much of the purpose of using him out there.
Do. Not. Agree.
^ Number one rule; SS always hit 2nd. :)
Dusty's lineup construction has gotten too laughable. He loves the old notion have having a poor hitter hit second so he can bunt runners over. However, he never has said hitter bunt anyone, but still ends up giving away outs.
Going to be headed down there soon. I'm optimistic about the offense showing up tonight, they're due again after the last few games. Let's hope Homer continues his run of solid outings.
Would rather see this:
Choo
Phillips
Votto
Frazier
Bruce
Paul
Izturis
Miller
Bailey
Mind blown didn't notice I could post on the game thread again! I have missed this why I haven't been on in so long. Looking forward to getting back in the game I hope the reds are tonight! What a lineup ...
Well, many are getting their wishes. Cozart is NOT batting second. Paul IS replacing Heisey. And Corky gets to flaunt his fabulous lip warmer to his undying fans.
Would rather see this:
Rose
Griffey
Morgan
Bench
Perez
Foster
Geronimo
Concepcion
Bailey :O)
There are times when I look back on that club and wonder what kind of payroll it would take in today's market to have them on the same team. Mind. Blown.
Speaking of the 75 Reds....after 23 games, we're currently 13-10...big red machine was 12-11. Just sayin.
ok, I am generally a Dusty defender.. but Izturus 2nd? :lol:
Hope the magic works.
Who was the reserve infielder that got a few hits, and Dusty called him the "good luck charm"?
Was that Cairo the first year he got here or someone else? Hopefully Iz gets some of that magic.
I'm interested to see how this lineup works tonight. Hoping the offense wakes up.
Bold prediction: Corky goes 0-4 but his mustache hits a triple, and then is thrown out of the game for being too awesome.
Corky Miller being in the lineup tonight means I won't watch.
