Re: Reds at Cubs 9-6-11
Feels like spring training. Which is ok under the circumstances.

Re: Reds at Cubs 9-6-11
Nice to see Mes back in there and moved up the order a tad. Really nice to see Stubbs get a day off. Valaika at short? Hmmmm. Not exactly a fantastic left side to say the least.
Just saw this on Sheldon's blog, this is Sappelt's first ML start at center. I never really thought about it before, but he HAS been in left a bunch.

Re: Reds at Cubs 9-6-11
What's the point in playing at chicago, and playing a night game? I guess the bleacher bums make sure their kids go to school.

Re: Reds at Cubs 9-6-11
Great to see Sappelt get a start in CF and Valaika at SS.

Re: Reds at Cubs 9-6-11
So bummed -- had tickets to this game but lost them. They were physical tickets, not online, so I'm SOL. Well, at least I'll warm...

Re: Reds at Cubs 9-6-11
Anybody else notice that Phillips seems to be taking his last practice swing really, really late the last few games? Seems like his bat isn't even getting back in to position until the ball is half way to home plate.

Re: Reds at Cubs 9-6-11
Sappelt with a line drive double to LC. That's how it's supposed to look.

Re: Reds at Cubs 9-6-11
Nice catch by Sappelt.
He should get a lot of playing time in CF now. Reds will want to avoid a Stubbs K record. |

Re: Reds at Cubs 9-6-11
Could have sworn that on that strike 3 pitch to Aramis Ramirez, Marty said 'Bronson deals, and Ramirez swings and misses....' Of course tonight it's not Bronson, but Mike Leake....
