This is a really good lineup, even the defense is about as good as you can align it with the players available.
It may be the single best line-up dusty has run out all year.
I find it quite funny that Dusty's severe aversion to stacking lefties has finally resulted in his putting Adam Dunn higher in the lineup. I won't complain.
I'd have to agree with that. The one and only beef I've got with it is Phillips in the cleanup role. He's been successful at it this year, but he approaches his at bats differently in that spot. He seems to swing for the fences more. But considering the lineup's we've seen this year...that's nitpicking. :O)
Win or lose tonight, the biggest thing I want to see is a return to the Aaron Harang of old. Something's GOT to turn around for the guy.
K on Sanchez leading off is the RIGHT way to start. :O)
Sanchez Ks on 3 pitches. Ross blocked last strike in dirt.
I want eight shutout innings from Harang tonight. Let's get the big guy back on track.
Who's with me?
Wow!
Michaels fans on 4 pitches. 2 down
Strikeout #2!
Let's hope this is a sign of things to come.
And while I'm at it, I'll also give Dusty credit with the lineup. This is likely the best team the Reds can field against a southpaw, and the order is pretty solid as well.
Kudos, Dusty. Don't let this be a one time thing now.
