Hey I'm all for trying whatever to get the offense going
Frazier batting second?
Eh, who knows. Maybe it'll work.
Frazier in the 2 hole? Very interesting - I like it.

Well, that's different. IIRC, Frazier is 0-for his last 28? Maybe batting 2nd will shock him into a hit or two today.
This game is on the MLB Network only. Neither the Reds or A's are televising it. MLB.com says it will be available in both Cincy and Oakland, which means its black out free.

Dusty must read FanGraphs!
Frazier in as the Designated Bunter.

Welp, I usually go home for lunch at 11:30, but today is going to be a 12:30 day.
The Frazier thing is pretty simple to me.
Frazier is struggling.
Frazier hits fast balls well.
Try Frazier in front of one of the best hitters in MLB so he hopefully sees more fastballs.
Frazier is going to go 2-4 today with a 2B and 2 runs scored. Book it.
Off Topic question: Does anyone know what my Name and avatar are from? I have been surprised no one has made a comment about it.

Wow, no.
It is from the movie Half Baked. It is from the scene where Dave Chappell is talking about the different kinds of smokers. Jon Stewart is the "enhancement smoker" and says the following while pointing at a $20 bill (the avatar):
Enhancement Smoker: You ever see the back of a twenty dollar bill... on weed? Oh, there's some crazy *****, man. There's a dude in the bushes. Has he got a gun? I dunno! RED TEAM GO, RED TEAM GO.

I like it. At least Dusty's trying some different things.

Frazier hitting second.
I approve.
