[BRM]

How many other teams have part-time players hitting cleanup?

[KronoRed]

What did Kearns do last night to be slid to 6th?

[RedsManRick]

I agree. I don't quite get the logic of a part time clean up guy -- especially with 3 quality hitters behind him, including 1 future HR champ.

[BRM]

What did Kearns do last night to be slid to 6th?

Went 2-4 with a homer.

[KronoRed]

Went 2-4 with a homer.

Obviously it's not clutch enough.

[reds44]

Obviously it's not clutch enough.

Soft 2-4.

Just like Adam Dunn's homer last night.

[BRM]

Obviously it's not clutch enough.

It wasn't. The HR came in a blowout.

[LincolnparkRed]

I kinda like him behind Dunn. He should see some good pitches since the pitcher might relax after facing the Donkey and leave one up for AK. I really have no problems with this lineup other than I thought Javy always caught the Lizard?

[reds44]

Please get the Lizard some runs tonight.

[Heath]

Wow - EdE's been in a little slump. Phillips got going last night again, its time for EdE now.

[reds44]

I really have no problems with this lineup other than I thought Javy always caught the Lizard?

Good point. Why change up something that is working? Is the Brewers pitcher a lefty?

[Matt700wlw]

What did Kearns do last night to be slid to 6th?

What has Aurilia done not to bat cleanup when he's in the lineup?

Both logics make sense, but I have no problem with it.

[guttle11]

Aurilia's HR and RBI pro-rated to the # of AB's Kearns and Dunn have would look pretty good. He's shown an ability to drive in runs. That's what you want out of the 4th hitter, regardless of his name.

[Heath]

Good point. Why change up something that is working? Is the Brewers pitcher a lefty?

Yes, Eveland is a lefty. Ross caught last night, its LaRue's turn.

I'm wondering what the wait is on Valentin. I have a feeling he's next on the hit parade after White & Burns & McCracken.

Speaking Eveland - He's the Brewers' Dave Williams. Yikes - Lefties .364 BA/.916 OPS and righties .303 BA/.880 OPS against him.
