5/9/12 -- Reds at Brewers
Frazier's first start in LF. I like it.
Reds lineup: Cozart SS, Stubbs CF, Votto 1B, Phillips 2B, Bruce RF, Frazier LF, Valdez 3B, Hanigan C, Cueto P. |

Also, game is on Fox Sports Ohio. I love the change they made beginning last year as far as televising more afternoon games.

Re: 5/9/12 -- Reds at Brewers
Good to see Frazier getting some much deserved PT, but if you're going to sit Rolen, isn't this the chance to let him play some 3B? I understand wanting the defense with the groundballer on the mound, but still, feels like a weird time to give Rolen a day off.
And Valdez 7th ahead of Hanigan? Dusty really doesn't like to take advantage of Hanigan's ability to put the ball in play, does he?

Re: 5/9/12 -- Reds at Brewers
Glad to see them try Frazier in LF. I was wondering if they would do this considering how bad LF had been.
Here's the Brewers lineup: 1. Nyjer Morgan (L) CF 2. Rickie Weeks (R) 2B 3. Ryan Braun (R) LF 4. Aramis Ramirez (R) 3B 5. Corey Hart (R) RF 6. Jonathan Lucroy (R) C 7. Taylor Green (L) 1B 8. Cesar Izturis (S) SS 9. Zack Greinke (R) P

At 3B, for this year, it's tougher for him to get at bats. There's Rolen and Cairo. And Valdez on occasion. There's a need at both positions, but Todd has a better shot to play in the outfield this season IMO. |

Re: 5/9/12 -- Reds at Brewers
It is notable that Ryan Ludwick isn't getting much playing time lately. He played yesterday but Heisey's been getting much of the action and now Frazier today.
Reds can't be happy with LF, it's the obvious place to add some offense. Hopefully Todd will do that. |

Wonder what Walt's thinking: His two big off-season bats have been complete flops. Willie Harris was DFA'd one month in and Ryan Ludwick rarely sees the field. |

Re: 5/9/12 -- Reds at Brewers
Maybe it's just me but I'd rather see Frazier at Third when Rolen sits than Valdez or Cairo. I like giving him a start in LF every now and then too.

Re: 5/9/12 -- Reds at Brewers
The Brewers are 18-0 at home when greinke starts a game. This was according to the Cowboy.

Zack swings at a decent slider, Zack's 7th pitch. One away.

CB Bucknor behind the plate. Expect some interesting calls.

Re: 5/9/12 -- Reds at Brewers
Greinke has fallen behind 2-0 in both ABs.
Stubbs pops one up behind the plate. Easy play for the 2. Two down.
