I'm pretty surprised Griffey is playing in this game. He'll for sure have tomorrow off.
Considering the double header, I have no problem with the personnel in this lineup. The order is another story, however...
I don't get starting CPatt vs the lefty and sitting him vs the righty.
is the game on FSN?
I didn't say he needs to be the starter out there all the time
(certainly not against lefites)... but he has merits against righties (reasonable power) in conjunction with his strong defense outweighs what the competition does.
It should be a strict platoon, Patterson should bat at the bottom of the order, and used as a defensive replacement when on the bench. When used correctly, he has abilities that the rest of the team misses. Until Bruce comes up, I see zero reason why Patterson should leave. The guys replacing him are pretty awful (especially against righties).
There was no pregame show...I was beginning to wonder myself
Votto should play every game.
Period.
