    Reds at San Diego Padres (4/12/11)

    Let's make it two in a row

    Stubbs 8
    Phillips 4
    Votto 3
    Rolen 5
    Gomes 7
    Hangian 2
    Bruce 9
    Janish 6
    LeCure 1


    The further you slide JB down in the lineup, the less fastballs he's going to see.... I'm not a fan.

    True, but at the same time...the way he's hitting (or NOT hitting I should say), a lower spot in the order is what he's EARNED. Just like Hanny's earned to be moved up based on his performance. Something's got to kick Bruce out of the funk he's in. Maybe this is it.

    And it shouldn't be our goal to get Bruce to see more fastballs because he's struggling with the breaking balls, it's to get him to SEE the breaking balls correctly. And that means he needs to see MORE of them IMO.

    I'd say Bruce has earned a place on the bench for this one and let Heisey play right, but oh well.

    Now that you mentioned it. But I don't think Gomes wipes his butt across the carpet. I could be wrong.

    With what we've seen so far this year, I'm not sure that he would see fastballs with Gehrig, Ruth and post-millenium Bonds hitting behind him.

    Then again, 4 lefties in a row? Yowser.

    D'oh. I was looking at our lineup trying to figure out where you were seeing 4 lefties in a row. :O) A little slow on the uptake tonight at work apparently.

    Is that where you're actually sitting RBA? Or did you just go down for the pic?

    If so...nice seats. :O)

    Priss already gave up a couple runs in the 1st to the DBacks....

    How will he be able to explain THAT to his kids?
