5/9/12 -- Reds at Brewers
Frazier's first start in LF. I like it.

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. |

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.

The Brewers are 18-0 at home when greinke starts a game. This was according to the Cowboy.

Re: 5/9/12 -- Reds at Brewers
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.
