4/18/12 - Ok, seriously...let's win a game.

Cozart 6, Stubbs 8, Votto 3, Phillips 4, Bruce 9, Rolen 5, Heisey 7, Mesoraco 2, Latos RHP

I like the lineup shakeup. Stubbs might get some pitches to hit being in front of Votto. That said, he still has to make contact, so....

Latos vying for his first W as a Red. His outings have gotten marginally better since his debut, but still has some work to do. It'd be money to have him shut the Cards down and stop this losing train.

I like this lineup as much as any against a lefty, too.

Re: 4/18/12 - Ok, seriously...let's win a game.

For now, I dont' mind it. Somebody had to move up to 1 or 2 with BP going down to 4, and basically everyone's been crappy so why not? That said, what I want to see happen eventually is BP back to 1, Cozy 2, Votto 3, Bruce 4, 3B/LF 5/6, Stubbs 7, C 8, P 9.

Let's get a win behind Latos!

I like it a lot. Love seeing Heisey and Mesoraco. Glad Dusty noticed and made the change. Just takes him a few extra days.

The hitters have to be patient against Garcia. He is very capable of throwing strikes, but won't do so unless he absolutely has to.

Good leadoff AB by Cozart to draw a 4 pitch walk.

Little nervous. Hard to believe Garcia will have back to back bad starts.

Furcal double to start the game for the Cards.

Latos walks Beltran. Of course, with how Beltran has hit the Reds thus far, I can't say I mind too much.

Holliday flies out to Bruce. Furcal advances to 3rd.
