The problem is that the Reds' best OB machine is hitting 5th behind arguably the Reds' worst OB disaster.

Where's Valentin? Is he too tired to play from Mondays game?
Reds Fan Since 1971
From the looks of the hits Walker got on Monday, he'd be better served to take a pole cue than a bat to the plate today.Originally Posted by M2

Valentin doesn't hit lefties well - at all.Where's Valentin? Is he too tired to play from Mondays game?

He doesn't hit as well from the right side, or at least as good as Ross, apparently.Where's Valentin? Is he too tired to play from Mondays game?
In all seriousness, most managers try to work their subs in more in the first couple weeks than later in the season. I don't have a problem with Aurilia, Freel and Ross playing vs a LHP, or even playing in general, and I don't have a problem with Aurilia batting 4th. It's not like it kills the Reds and now they have no shot at winning, but I was sincerely hoping that Dunn would bat no lower than 4th this year. I'd actually like to see Dunn bat 3rd, and Griffey cleanup with Encarncaion 2nd, but that probably won't happen either.

No recognition of the 3 year splits Johnny? Aurilia actually has a higher OBP than Dunner against lefties the last 3 years...
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
By .001 of a point. Dunn leads in SLG% by .004.

Which one of you kind people will do PBP for us prisoners of the cubicle? (If someone does PBP, will you include periodic score updates?)
I would be most grateful.
You have to think Reds are hitting Kearns lower in lineup for a reason. They must think it will help jump start his bat if he stays out of the pressure hitting slots. Some guys overswing if they are hitting fourth or fifth.
Otherwise, he would be the logical cleanup hitter in this lineup, "breaking up" Griffey and Dunn.
That makes sense.
I can do PBP for awhile... Don't know how long thou.... I'm in class right now.

BA-driven OBP doesn't really impress me, especially considering that it's only 1/2 season's worth of ABs.

Rather have Lopez hit 4th, then RA.
