No Rolen, no Phillips.
Why does it always seem to me that Cueto gets the Sunday Special style team behind him?
This line up befuddles me. I know Dusty loves to get playing time for his bench but under no circumstances should Cairo and Valdez be in the starting line-up at the same time.
Bruce is having a hard time against LHP right now and you have the pitcher. I'm cool with Rolen having the day off but, no way Phillips being our main Lefty Killer, should be out against one of the 2 or 3 best LH Starters in the Senior Circuit.
Here's the Phils lineup:
1. Juan Pierre (L) LF
2. Kevin Frandsen (R) 3B
3. Chase Utley (L) 2B
4. Ryan Howard (L) 1B
5. Domonic Brown (L) RF
6. Laynce Nix (L) CF
7. Erik Kratz (R) C
8. Michael Martinez (S) SS
9. Cole Hamels (L) P
I have no problem resting some guys tonight. We have a pitcher who hopefully can keep us in it even with less offense, we've already got atleast a split this series. I want my best players playing this weekend when we can almost lock the division up going into the final month. If that means they sit tonight, then they sit.
Yes, and it's too bad this is Cueto's turn. I know it's a great pitching matchup but I would love Cueto and Latos to pitch the first two Cards games.
Phillips really needed the day off. He's played a ton lately. He struggled against the Cubs but has hit pretty well against the Phils. While Hamels is a lefty, Brandon needs the day before the Cards.
Maybe Cairo and Valdez will come through.
Phils resting Rollins.
Cairo and Valdez will both haunt their former team tonight.
I am at the Crosstown Showdown and DVRing the Reds so don't anybody spoil it for me here. LOL.
Seriously, when are the Reds gonna get cute ball-girls? *grin*
Love this start. Zack & Drew with leadoff singles.
Cozart and Stubbs each ground singles to left. Bruce up. Raining.
Bruce Ks. Don't quite get Bruce hitting third against Hamels. Maybe Frazier three, Ludwick four would have been better.
Wow, if the Reds win this game, it will be a minor miracle.
New Reds drinking game. Take a swig everytime Ludwick smacks his right hip. :O)
