Re: Reds vs D-Backs 9/13/08 (no Bako or Patterson)
Dusty again playing the lineup that he thinks has the best chance of winning -- hence the few lefties, including no Patterson, Bako, or Dickerson.
I mean this in a non-judgemental way, but winning tonight is clearly Dusty's priority #1, with getting the most exposure for the young guys who might be contributors next year a distant #2.
Personally, I'd much rather get a look at Dickerson against the tough lefty, even if he goes 0-4, than give more AB to Jolbert Cabrera. I just hope one of us is blowing out the other so we can finally see Roenicke.
