I wish they would let Hamilton play against a lefty......

Might as well find out if he can handle it.

Yeah this is getting ridiculous. The team Narron puts out there can't score as it is. He talks about how he can't sit Hamilton since he's swining so well, and what doess he do, sits him for 2 straight games when he's the only guy out there with any patience at the plate and hitting the ball hard every time up.

So frustrating!!!!!!

Phillips in the two spot? Normally I don't ***** much about batting order, but that's just stupid.

Yeah, Hamilton needs to be in the lineup.

KronoRed · 04-15-2007, 11:42 AM

I think Dunn could handle first for a day and let Hamilton get some swings in vs lefties.

Dunner44 · 04-15-2007, 11:44 AM

At least Ross finally got a hit yesterday.

The day this team moves Dunn to first base is the day this team takes a major step in the right direction!

D. Lee has shown a couple of times in this series that a tall first baseman can save a lot of bad throws. Dunn may not like it, but it would have a great impact on this club offensively and defensively.

Even though he cost the Reds 5 unearned runs in the 7th, who is swinging a better bat against Lefties on the club than Conine? And you want to replace him with Dunn, who (ADMITTEDLY SMALL SAMPLE SIZE) has hit .182/.217/.182 against lefties this season? Yes, Dunn hit lefties much better last season, but I wonder if Jacoby's changes will affect this?

Compare that to Conine who is hitting .357/.400/.714 off lefties. Who would you start at 1B? Give Freel, Griff, Dunn or BP the day off if you want to see Hamilton in the lineup, not Conine.

Somehow, someway, Hamilton needs to be in the lineup....EVERY lineup almost daily.

You don't know what you have unless you get him 400 at bats or so...and right now, he's hitting better than just about anybody else on the team.

Narron doing what he does best. Very frustrating seeing the same lineup that just got shut down by a left handed starter.

It's nap time for me. It's been a long past couple of days at PNC park. I got to leave early today...so, it's nap time until the game comes on! See you guys then!

Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over and expecting to produce a different result.

Joseph · 04-15-2007, 12:45 PM

Great line up, I mean we scored so many runs with this one yesterday!

What?

We didn't?

Oh. Never mind.

One of the most false cliches ever spouted.
