Re: 9/20/12 - Reds @ Cubs
I really didn't think we would see a lineup like that until clinching. But it's practically clinched. I guess we could blame Speier for this lineup since Dusty is still under the weather.

Re: 9/20/12 - Reds @ Cubs
I'm ok with this lineup today. They played extras last night, no reason to push the regulars in a day game today. Some of the guys (Phillips mostly) look like a day off would help. Probably good idea to give Votto a break too.
Reds face "contending" teams starting tomorrow. And they will be in position clinch on the homestand. So we'll see most of the regulars starting tomorrow, I'm sure. As for Cueto, you never know, the team could score a bunch of runs for him today. I don't think Cueto is winning the Cy Young in any event, but that can't be the main consideration. And for those who despise the Stubbs/Valdez lineups, well maybe this is an improvement! Last edited by Kc61; 09-20-2012 at 11:33 AM. |

Re: 9/20/12 - Reds @ Cubs
I'm calling it: Phipps and Gregorius both each hit their first career HR today AND H-Rod collects his first career multi-hit game!

Re: 9/20/12 - Reds @ Cubs
Fun Fact: This will be the first time Wrigley Field has hosted a game between two minor league teams.
