Looks like a lineup that will struggle to score runs. A lot of K's again?
I'm interested. Heisey has looked rough the past 8 AB...but batting 2nd it's ok to bunt and there is little RBI pressure.
We'll see.
Phillips needs to step up and take the ball to RF.
So far no roster move for Stubbs. Costanzo sent to AAA
I heard Stubbs hurt himself but not much else. Hopefully it isn't too bad...we aren't really rolling in OF depth.
At least in GABP the dropoff in defense shouldn't be noticed as much.
Stubbs won't be missed at all. I think a Reds win tonight is pretty likely.
Listening to Led Zeppelin. That usually results in a win.
Phillips and Votto both have OPS's over 1.000 against Lincoln; however, the sample sizes are extremely small.
McCutcheon (.888 OPS in 32 ABs) and Jones (.839 OPS in 28 ABs) have had some success against Cueto.
Cueto is due for a shutdown start.
To me this is a huge game for Johnny C. This is where your ACE steps up and puts a stop to losing streaks and it's at home and he has not pitched overally well in his last 3-4 starts so we need to see a strong 7 innings and less then a couple of runs tonight against the Pirates...
Nice pic of Joey Votto if it shows up. From CNNSI. Fouling those pitches off and staying alive.
Reds win 6-2 or lose 2-1. I am leaning towards the former.
