In the finale of the Phillies' series their broadcaster stated that Cozart was battling a bad back. That is the only mention that I have heard of regarding Cozart's health, or lack thereof. Did I sound like Marty there? :)
Quote:
Cozart sidelined by sore back: MLB.com reports Reds shortstop Zack Cozart was held out of the starting lineup for a second straight game Wednesday against the Phillies because of a sore back, according to manager Dusty Baker. Didi Gregorious replaced Cozart in the starting lineup Wednesday.
im not worried yet.
If Cozy isn't 95+%....let his rest and recover/strengthen.....as long as he can be back at full strength with 7 or 8 games to go I'll be happy.
This is why a cushion is nice.
I like 1-7.....Luddy and Frazier aren't killing it right now and Bruce should be 4th....but I know the rules.
We'll prolly score 1 run over about 11 innings tonight.
According to Fay Rolen is also having some back issues, and Stubbs is getting some time off to try and figure things out.
Staistically, this is probably the best line-up the Reds have had all year.
1. Phillips - .294
2. Heisey - .289
3. Votto - .346
4. Ludwick - .276
5. Bruce - .265
6. Frazier - .289
7. Navarro - .296
8. Valdez - .196 (kind of drops the average a bit)
For a while the Reds were only playing 1 or 2 players whose averages were over .250 each night. Bruce was under for awhile as well as Ludwick. Frazier has brought his average up a lot, but I think he was around .250 for a while.
Even with Valdez, I can't think of a night when the Reds had an a team batting average this high on the field.
Again, it will probably be an 11 inning 1 run game - but at least the line-up looks pretty.
Stubbs is furthering Einstein's work. Baseball is but a trivial matter at this point. Time travel, is it possible? What really happens when you die? What created the universe? All these will be answered.
Homer will not get to throw that ball again --down 2 in the first
Maxwell has Bailey's number
