Re: 5/25/09 Reds vs Astros

Umm the date is wrong; with the way the line-up looks like this it has to be sometime in September.

Agree. This team is improved in RF and sometimes at SS, but most of last years defensive problems remain. Nice Bunt hit for Hairston.

Re: 5/25/09 Reds vs Astros

Good idea to have Dickerson bunting IMO.

Re: 5/25/09 Reds vs Astros

Why does a guy who is slugging .600 plus against lefties bunt?

IMO it's a better idea to let him walk.

Re: 5/25/09 Reds vs Astros

Gomes lines a single to center. 2-1 Astros. Bases still loaded.

Any slugging in this line-up outside of Gomes and maybe Hernandez is purely accidental.

Re: 5/25/09 Reds vs Astros

Gomes has already done more for the Reds in 4 games than McDonald did in 40
