Looks like a pretty balanced lineup today for the reds

Hopefully arroyo can get some run support as well

[Degenerate39]

Freel's first game at 2nd of the year.

[Dunner44]

I like Jerry giving BP a day off here.

My ideal situation for freel - Every week he give EE, BP, JR and Hamilton a day off. 4 starts a week right there. Maybe give Jr. or Hamilton 2 days off a week. But 4 to 5 starts a week is good for freel, and good for keeping every one else fresh.

[OnBaseMachine]

I'd like to see Hamilton higher in the lineup.

[Mitri]

If this lineup with Arroyo going can't get a W against the Rockies, this team is in serious trouble.

[REDREAD]

I'd like to see Hamilton higher in the lineup.

No reason for Hamilton to be hitting after Gonzo.. none at all..

[KronoRed]

Nice to see EE in the clean up spot.

[REDREAD]

It sure would be nice to salvage this last game with the Rocks before we face Houston again.

[KronoRed]

Getting swept by the rockies would be the west coast swoon in reverse

[Degenerate39]

Nice to see EE in the clean up spot.

Took one home run to get him there

I've loved this idea for a long time. Keeps everyone fresh and also keeps everyone getting ABs. I'd probably throw Dunn in there, too. Probably even before I'd throw BP in there.

Agreed.

I had a feeling Jerry might put Freel at 2nd today. Not alot to complain about with this lineup (which probably means we will get shutout), except I'd like to see Hamilton hitting a bit higher.

EE in the cleanup spot is nice.

[UGADaddy]

After further review, how is EdE higher in the order than Josh and/or AGon??

1. You can't hit Josh 4th and have 4 lefties in a row.
2. I don't care how they started this year, Edwin's a much better hitter then Seabass.
