Stubbs 8, Janish 6, Votto 3, Phillips 4, Rolen 5, Bruce 9, Lewis 7, Hanigan 2, Arroyo RHP

Words can't express the awfulness here.

Gomes not starting against a LHP? Is he gone? Janish in the 2 hole vs. one of the best pitchers in the game? Lewis starting vs. a LHP? Seriously, what is going on???

oneupper · 05-23-2011, 02:57 PM

Won't matter.

Arroyo 1-5 5.54 ERA vs Philly. They kill him regularly.

NJReds · 05-23-2011, 03:00 PM

I'm not one to complain about lineups. But I don't get Janish batting second. I love his defense, but he bats 8th or 9th for every other team in the majors. How he bats second for the Reds is beyond me.

For the record, Hamels shuts down righties as much as lefties, technically, just a bit more.

OPS allowed against:

RH - .692
LH - .710

I wonder if Janish is getting the Gomes "this is your last chance" treatment before they have to do something with SS.

I really wonder if they will change the lineup later and put Frazier in Lewis's place. They have not officially added Frazier yet as they have to make the corresponding roster move. After they do it would make much more sense to have Frazier facing a lefty rather than Lewis.

Dusty never plays guys on the first day they come up to the team.

Lewis is playing because he apparently has a decent track record against Hamels. Janish on the other hand doesn't have decent numbers period. So he hits 2nd with Lewis 7th????

And what exactly is the aversion to starting Heisey in LF?

Reds1 · 05-23-2011, 05:53 PM

anyone have Philly line up? I think Chase Utley is coming off the DL today.

oneupper · 05-23-2011, 05:56 PM

Rollins 6
Utley 4
Polanco 5
Howard 3
Ibañez 7
Ruiz 2
Brown 9
Mayberry 8
Hamels 1

oneupper · 05-23-2011, 07:14 PM

As the REDS go quietly in the first, I was about to ask
"How long before we bail on this game?"
...but there was nobody here.

The Voice of IH · 05-23-2011, 07:15 PM

well, this has started well /sarcasm

reds44 · 05-23-2011, 07:15 PM

We could be in a world of hurt 4 days from now.

Blitz Dorsey · 05-23-2011, 07:15 PM

I would have plunked Utley for that bush league stuff last year (pretending like he got hit) ... but I guess I'll take the out instead. Ha.

kbrake · 05-23-2011, 07:16 PM

Cool. Apparently weather alerts are more important than baseball.
