Re: Reds vs. Cubs Friday 4/20

And there you have it, ladies and germs.

Baker would like to have Stubbs in the leadoff spot and Cozart in the No. 2 spot.

“Hopefully, Stubbs will get his stuff together,” Baker said. “The perfect lineup would be Stubbs leading off with Cozart second.”

Lotta Heisey homers on RZ.

So long as we're running a lineup of 1001 RHH against RHP, I'll take Ludwick.

Not that I disagree with your complaints, but you have to admit the catcher batting 8th has kind've worked. We've overachieved offensively at catcher pretty much Dusty's entire time here. Whether batting 8th is actually causing any of that I'm not sure, but I don't see his incentive to change it.

If Stubbs can get it together and be more consistent, he's right.

Stubbs .375+ OPS and Cozart is....but must maintain and adjust as the league does.

This miserable weather will give Homer a chance to display a possible mental toughness most of us believe he does not have.

Stubbs knows the holes. If he's not swinging for HR and not striking out too much he'll be our guy.

Re: Reds vs. Cubs Friday 4/20

We get on him a lot for not trying to change things at the plate. This year you can tell he's really trying to go the other way with pitches, even on his strikeouts you see the effort.
