JV just hit one over the bushes in CF
And Bruce just hit the top of them.
I expected to look at the lineup and come on here and complain about Gomes and OC not hitting 7th and 8th, but I guess I'm passed it because it doesn't even really bother me. At this point I'm just like "go ahead and run 'em out there however you want Dusty, just win."

Hitters who avoid outs are the funnest.
Man I'm freaking nervous.
Please let it be GOOD EV today on the mound.
Enjoy the game Edabbs! Go Reds!

I mentioned a day or so ago the Reds could have a game where the pitcher never bats this series (crazy I know)...so I like the thinking of this.
If I’m Dusty Baker, my innings plan for tomorrow goes something like this:
1st – 4th: Volquez
5th – 6th: Wood/Bailey
7th – 8th: Chapman/Massett/Rhodes
9th: Cordero
If handled correctly, the Reds can probably get by only having to let their pitcher hit once, and can ensure that they have a platoon advantage in nearly every high leverage situation they might face. Rather than looking for Volquez to match Halladay by pitching deep into the game, the Reds need to take advantage of their bullpen depth and the copious amount of off-days. Remember, relievers outperform starting pitchers almost across the board because they don’t have to pace themselves, so getting more innings from your relievers is a good idea if you can do it without wearing them out.
Here we go Redlegs, here we go! Hoo Hoo!
