Having a DH in this series is the perfect scenario for Rolen's return: Rolen's glove > Frazier's, Rolen's bat > Pitcher's, Frazier's bat still in lineup.
7 in a row...
Rolen batting 7th. That's an encouraging sign.
Hoping to see alot of reds fans there today
Lowe today right? I predict we knock him around for quite a few runs.

Something is wrong with my computer. Catcher is NOT hitting 8th. Dark clouds gather outside my window.
OBP:
Cozart -1st- .308
Heisey - 2nd - 311
Frazier - 8th - .343
Hanigan - 9th .- 365
Makes perfect sense. Keep the guys that get on base BEHIND Joey Votto. And make sure they get the fewest at-bats.
Because six games ago, they had just lost five out of seven. Rolen should bat last, like the hitter he is at this point of his career. That was one pathetic lineup out there yesterday. Clutch hitting by Phillips and an error by the other team is the only reason we got any runs.
Frazier should be batting 4th or 5th, Hanigan 1st or 2nd, and Rolen dead last. Even if Rolen goes on a "hot" streak, where he OPS's .750 for a week or two, he should still be batting last.
Last time I checked, how you win doesn't matter, and right now we have 4-5 game lead and are 10+ games over in the win side. As my friend said, all you can do is win, you can't "super win" or double win a game, you just win and they have. So why change it if it ain't broke.
