[Homer Bailey]

Lineup prediction? Shouldnt be tough based on these numbers:

Hairston SS (Or Harriston according to George Grande)
Bruce CF
Griffey RF
Phillips 2B
Dunn LF
Encarnacion 3B
Votto 1B
Ross C
Volquez

If Dunn is out due to the health of his child:

Freel CF
Hairston SS
Griffey RF
Phillips 2B
Bruce LF?
Encarnacion 3B
Votto 1B
Ross C
Volquez P

[Homer Bailey]

I was close.... official lineup:

Jerry Hairston ss
Jay Bruce cf
Ken Griffey Jr. rf
Brandon Phillips 2b
Adam Dunn lf
Edwin Encarnacion 3b
Joey Votto 1b
Paul Bako c
Edinson Volquez p
v. LH Tom Glavine (2-2, 4.76)

I wish this was a game thread

Dunn is playing. Bruce is playing. life is good. We will win.

[_Sir_Charles_]

I'm just hoping we see a solid Edinson and not a tired Edinson. Either way, that lineup has enough pop to damage Glavine pretty well.

Just out of curiosity, what do you think the odds are that Dusty will ever flip-flop Dunn and Griffey? Or even better, Dunn in the 2 hole and Junior in the 6 spot.

Bruce went 0-3 with a SO last night.

What makes you so sure his first two games werent a fluke?

[texasdave]

I may be in the smallest of minorities, but I still feel Griffey will heat up. Maybe that is just wishful thinking. You can no longer expect to get six months of Griffey in his prime, but I see no reason why he won't rip off half-a-season of pretty darn good. When Kepp gets back from IR the lineup should be:

Kepp
Bruce
Griffey
Edwin
Dunn
BPhil
Votto
Catcher
Pitcher.

[Ghosts of 1990]

Bruce went 0-3 with a SO last night.

Good call on that... move a little to the right and the egg will fall off your face.

[AccordinglyReds]

Great play by EE to end the Braves' top half, and BP comes through to bring in Bruce after he and Griffey Jr. get on.

w00t!

Also, Burton did a great job to keep the game where it was at.

[Lockdwn11]

I'm sure glad I drafted this young man in my fantasy league!
