Reds @ Colorado, Game #1 Labor Day 9/6/10

BP 4
Heisey 9
Votto 3
Gomes 7
Francisco 5
Razor 2
Stubbs 8
Janish 6
Harang 1


Interesting that JF gets the start at 3rd. Cairo's leg must still be bothering him. Not an ideal lineup vs Jimenez, but I will say it's good to see Janish still getting some starts w/ O-Cab back!

We're off to the game! Go Reds!

Gonna say that this is the "Use the piching mismatch as an opportunity to rest some of our more vulnerable starters" lineup.

I love Dusty sitting Rolen against Ubaldo. Great spot to get him some rest. And why not let Francisco as a lefty take some of his might cuts against Jiminez?

Nice move from Baker.

Defensively, Janish makes sense with Francisco at third base. A bit more range at SS without Rolen in the lineup.

Wow. Had no idea it was an afternoon game. Thought it was 9 o'clock.

With what we have today, I'd bat JF 4th, and Gomes 5th.

And 2 in a row for OCab since coming back so taking a seat makes some sense.

JF's swing might be a bit long for Jimenez, but we shall see.

FYI, for those having heart palpitations regarding Gomes hitting 4th, let alone being in the lineup today, he is 2-6 with 2 big flies versus Ubaldo in his career.

Gomes in the lineup?

Who could complain about that?

The alternatives were Franciso, Alonso and Cairo.

Gomes is a GG winner compared to them.

I can live with this lineup today.

The only change I'd make is Hannigan catching Harang instead of Hernandez. Call me crazy but it seems Harang pitches better with Hannigan behind the plate.

Seems like most of these guys do better with Hanigan,

At the ballpark. Bruce shagging flies and looks to be moving well. I asked him if he planned on playing this series and he said, "I'm not sure, but we will see. Soon I hope". Also he did NOT take bp w/ the team. 4th row RF bleachers
