6/21- Reds @ A's

Brandon Phillips 2b

Paul Janish ss

Joey Votto 1b

Scott Rolen 3b

Jonny Gomes lf

Drew Stubbs cf

Chris Heisey rf

Miguel Cairo DH

Ramon Hernandez c

Mike Leake p

vs. LHP Gio Gonzalez (6-5, 4.21)

I don't feel too bad about this lineup except the part where Stubbs bats 6th.

I've got PBP. I'll be doing what I was trying to do Thursday when I first started doing PBP again: Break the Reds out of a funk. They've got to get the bats goin' tonight.

Re: 6/21- Reds @ A's

No Bruce and Cairo as DH? No me gusto. Is Gonzalez that tough against lefties that you'd rather have Cairo and deal with Gomes defense when you could've gotten him out of there?

Bruce needs to regroup. His swing is kind of screwed up these days.

Re: 6/21- Reds @ A's

With Bruce & Cabrera getting the day off, Dusty's choices for DH consisted of Nix, Corky and Cairo. Going with Cairo leaves us with at least a somewhat potent bat on the bench for PH duties. Getting Hanigan back would be a nice boost (as would getting somebody up here who can replace Cairo.)

How about letting Leake bat?

Yes he can. But if he does then the Reds can't use a DH. Further, you are not allowed to PH for a DH IIRC.

Yes, you can PH for the DH, the PH becomes the new DH.

They need to either use it in both leagues or get rid of it. I prefer get rid of it.
