According to Yahoo...

Dunn is hitting 7th today.

Pena is hitting 6th.

Let the Nearen (sp?) bashing begin.

[BRM]

Yep. It's the same lineup as last night except Dunn and Pena have been flipped and Larue is hitting 8th.

EDIT: Wait, I just saw that Mulder is on the hill for the Cards. At least Narron is actually playing Dunn against a lefty. I guess we should be happy about that.

Same Bat station,same bat manager.

[westofyou]

Muldar going for the Cardinals, Dunn's 1-8 vs him.

BTW Miley would have sat him... Narron at least will let him get his ab's.

Yep. That's why I edited my previous post. At least Dunn is playing.

[RedsNeck]

I don't have a problem with it against a tough lefty the Dunner is not the same hitter.

Is this the game thread?

[KearnsyEars]

I'd sure like to have kearnsy up here against Mulder, give casey the day off and put dunn at first. One less contact lefty on the bench against mulder, and kearns went deep off mulder earlier in the year

Wonderful. So he'll be all the way back up to the 6 hole against a meatball tossing righthander.

[LexingtonRedsFan]

Guess Freel's foot isnt any better...what is this now, 4 games missed?

[medford]

On the plus side, in the pregame talk with the Manger, Narron said that he'd even look at hitting dunn in the 2 hole. I guess looking & doing are 2 different things, but perhaps a future lineup will get the "Redszone seal of approval"

Batting him 3rd would be best,IMO.
