I think Price got lost in that WKRP softball episode where Les played about 5 different positions and Andy sold him on each one by telling him that Pete Rose played (OF, 1st, 3rd).

Evidently the Reds know this lineup is going to raise brows because their facebook page has this for a post:
"Schumaker, Santiago and Bernadina combined in their careers are 28-for-64 (.438) vs Arroyo"
People wanted a manager who played by the numbers...looks like Price is doing that
99% of all numbers only tell 33% of the story so when looking at the numbers remember that numbers is plural...

Where is the Dusty Dice post?
Yep. That's about all the good one can say about it...

I don't drink, but I think I might start tonight after seeing that line-up. Oy.

At least it rhymes. Dusty Dice always sounded like someone forgot to clean the dice.

Bernadina might be 7 for 10 against Arroyo but he doesn't even have 7 hits this season does he?
Attended 1976 World Series in my Mother's Womb. Attended 1990 World Series Game 2 as a 13 year old. Want to take my son to a a World Series Game in Cincinnati in my lifetime.
Costanza approves of Price's approach on the lineup!
I'm struggling to understand Bernadina at 1B -- isn't Skip the more likely choice with his infield experience & wouldn't Bernadina cover more ground in the OF?
The older I get - the better I was
and yes - I hate the Cardinals (Reds fan since 1958)
I miss Raisor

The Reds have no chance of winning this game tonight.
Unrelenting negative theme tonight.
