7 this year. hitting .269/.367/.538, 2 HR. Career 100 starts .237/.329/.427 17 HR MT “@MartyMcKee: How many times has Jay batted 4th?”
I wonder how long Dusty will give Bruce in the 4th spot a chance to work out? Or will he move Ludwick back there once he gets going a bit better.

Reds go from a hitter with a .320 OBP in the 2 hole to one with a .310 OBP

I hope Bruce stays in 4 hole against RHP. I would rather have 3 ABs with he and Votto back to back against a RHP then worry about 1/2 against a LHP late in game.

Why is Cozart in the lineup tonight after that base running mistake yesterday? Do these guys not have consequences? Grow a pair Dusty and hold these guys accountable.

http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/mlb/s...plinary-reason This is how to run a team.
You can do that with a rookie.
But not with a star, not with Kemp or Ethier or Gonzales.
Or Rose, Bench, Perez, Larkin or Votto.
If you want to, if you absolutely need to win the game, you do not play Cesar Izturis instead of Zach Cozart. He can ground Zach after the season's over. Double secret probation.
But winning games comes first.
After all, it's not like Juan Castro is still on the bench, ready to step in.
sorry we're boring
I have never seen an overt sign - read that public --- that Dusty ever punishes -- now he may do it privately but I have my doubts.
If he was doing public punishment -- he's had SO many chances this year and he's passed on every one.
Next issue -- is it a good idea -- that's another debate.
The older I get - the better I was
and yes - I hate the Cardinals (Reds fan since 1958)
I miss Raisor
Despite an off day tomorrow, Molina sits tonite. A little Matheny hubris?
Nice that Dusty has tried to shake up the lineup a bit.
I appreciate the effort. Might as well bat Phillips #2, and see how it works now as opposed to waiting until the playoffs.
Big game tonight.. A win tonight earns us a little respect.
A loss.. well, that pretty much kills any chance of winning the division.
