No Kearns, RA batting 4th, Dunn 5th
Freel RF
Lopez SS Griffey CF Aurilia 3B Dunn LF Hatteberg 1B Phillips 2B LaRue C Harang P Why does Narron tweak the lineup EVERY night! Dunn has 2 hits in the 2 spot, why move him? Why take Kearns out of the lineup to keep RA in? It makes no sense.

Well...at least Freel's in there.

Re: No Kearns, RA batting 4th, Dunn 5th
Narron is a joke
Dunn gets on base three times in the number two spot...and he drops him. And he continues to bat Aurilia and his .599 OPS vs RHP in the cleanup spot. Narron is one of the five worst managers in baseball. Extending his contract is horrible news for the Reds young players.

Re: No Kearns, RA batting 4th, Dunn 5th
Did you think Aurilia would be out of the lineup on the day Narron is celebrating his extension?

Re: No Kearns, RA batting 4th, Dunn 5th
Narron's fascination with RA in the 4 spot is perhaps the only thing where I can sit here and say "what the heck are you possibly thinking?"

Maybe Aurilia has made threats They have won more games with RA in the 4 hole than anybody else, which is still odd....but I guess when you have a winning record, and he's been in the 4 hole more than anybody else this sesason, that stat would make sense...

Re: No Kearns, RA batting 4th, Dunn 5th
 We can look forward to 3 more years of these crappy lineups...

Re: No Kearns, RA batting 4th, Dunn 5th
Every day RA bats 4th makes me think it is less and less likely EE will have his starting job back on Friday.
And that makes me twice as mad then losing to the Royals.

Re: No Kearns, RA batting 4th, Dunn 5th
Eh, I liked last night's better. Seemed like Jerry was onto something with Dunn at #2, why not give it another shot?
And as always, Aurilia at clean up continues to baffle me. Hell, Aurilia being in the lineup at all baffles me. |

Re: No Kearns, RA batting 4th, Dunn 5th
EE will probably play 3-4 games a week and Rich will get the rest of the starts at 3B. Narron will come up with a lame excuse to justify it - something like he doesn't want EE playing everyday with a bad ankle.
