Votto will break out of his slump in a big way.
4-5 with 2 doubles, a single and a homerun.
and 1 RBI
So much for the winning streak. I can't conceive a manager refusing to play his most productive players. But then, there's Dusty. This lineup is laughable, to put it kindly.
Pretty sad that an upgrade to the lineup would be to flip Stubbs and Leake in the battin order.
And I'll go out on a limb and say Rolen gets a couple of hits today.
Why didn't I see that coming?
Everything indicated it. Not the least Leake's .344 BA.
Once again Where is Heisey? I know he isn't the answer but come on. Wilson Valdez would be better then what stubbs is doing.
Hit home run? Sit the next day!
Rolen starting today is only a problem if Rolen also starts tomorrow. His lack of production needed to lead to more Frazier and I'm hoping that's what's going on.
If he still struggles in a diminished role then the talk should be about DL'ing him for the rest of the year.
I hate these afternoon games on Saturdays. I love watching the Reds on a lazy summer Saturday night, but I haven't had many chances this year.
Great news, too. Lance Berkman is back!
