Re: 10/3/12 - Reds at Cardinals
Totally meaningless game now except that Homer is trying break Johnny Vander Meer's record. I expect the starters to come out early if they stick to this lineup.

Re: 10/3/12 - Reds at Cardinals
Of all of Dusty's lineups for 162 games, I don't understand this at all. It's a meaningless game why take ANY injury risks.
Phillips hasn't been completely healthy. Rolen is always an injury risk. Hanigan, catchers are always at risk. Votto, let him rest that knee. The only guy I can figure is Bruce who needs another RBI for 100. |

Start them and come out early is a good plan. No injuries needed.

Re: 10/3/12 - Reds at Cardinals
I'll be watching to see if Drew Stubbs finishes the year with more strikeouts (165) than total bases (164).
I am not making that up. |

Re: 10/3/12 - Reds at Cardinals
Is Bailey still scheduled to start tonight now that the Nats have the 1 seed locked up? If so, and if the story about the Reds going with a three man rotation is true, that seems to be very strange. This is a meaningless game. If Homer's role is indeed the person who can jump in and replace a starter who gets in trouble early, that means that he will be on short rest if he starts tonight and if Cueto or Arroyo struggle in games 1 or 2.
If he is going to be the game 4 starter or if this game meant something, I would not have a problem with him starting. If he is indeed supposed to be the insurance policy, why would you pitch him tonight? I say give any bullpen arms who need the work an inning each and then let the September call ups take the remainder of the innings tonight. |

Re: 10/3/12 - Reds at Cardinals
The Braves had alot of their normal starters in today... After 3innings they started pulling them...
I'd guess that is what is going to happen tonight.

Re: 10/3/12 - Reds at Cardinals
I don't wish harm on any player...but I really wouldn't mind of Stubbs broke his pinky finger in his left hand or something.
