Reds v. Giants
Jerry Hairston RF
Corey Patterson CF
Jeff Keppinger SS
Brandon Phillips 2B
Edwin Encarnacion 3B
Joey Votto 1B
Ryan Freel LF
Paul Bako C
Edison Volquez P
v. LHP Barry Zito
Seriously. At least give Volquez a shot at winning the game. This is ridiculous. Volquez will have to throw a shutout to even get a chance at a win. He's got no room for error today.
Sweet.
Is this the first Sunday Special from Dusty?
Wowza....well, Edinson SHOULD mow these guys down. We have a speedy outfield, guess that's kinda cool. Hopefully Phillips and EE can continue their hot hitting to carry the offense.
Benzinger backing and calling! And the 1990 world championship series belongs to the Cincinnati Reds!
Everyone has been slamming Dunn and Junior: they get their wish, both sit today.

KGJ is due for a day off. Why Dunn is getting a day off though doesn't make much sense. Why Dusty is not moving Votto and EdE up (when they're the hottest hitters right now) makes zero sense, though.
...yet Jay Bruce remains in AAA.
Yes, I will continue to say it until he's not.

I'm right there with ya, Matt.

In 21 games, he has 5 walks and 19 strikeouts. He NEEDS to be in AAA.
I think if the Reds are going to win a series sometime this season, they should at least have to earn it.......

In 22 games, AROD has 5 walks and 18 strikeouts. He NEEDS to be in AAA too.

Read the thread about Bruce an P/PA. He's ready.
