I understand Hanigan being in since Homer prefers him over Mesoraco, but why Paul instead of Heisey or Ludwick?

RedsBrick

Yeah, don't understand sitting Ludwick. He needs ABs. I hope he didn't tweak something.

They said during the broadcast last night (radio) that Ludwick would sit today and play tomorrow.

Yea, tommorrow is a day game. I believe the Cubs are starting a lefty tommorrow too (not 100% sure).

Dusty only wanted to play Ludwick 2 out of three games. This was the rest game.
Makes sense to play Ludwick vs the two lefties.

Oh yea, I think the whole "day game after a night game is hard" came into effect too. Not criticizing it. Just explaining what Dusty said.

Heisey may not be playing because he is hitting .209 with a .631 OPS and much worse against righties. Paul is hitting .239 with a .741 OPS, and .787 against righties.

That's probably why Heisey isn't playing.

Tomorrow is a day game and a lefty is starting.

Not hard to figure out.

Pretty standard for Dusty, ease a guy back from the DL in slowly. Perfectly fine way to approach it IMO.

With Ludwick I doubt the Righty/lefty is part of the equation on sitting him- just the rest aspect- and I have no issue with it. We heard a lot last year about Ludwick's skills vs rhp and the unusual platoon it could create. In terms of Paul v Heisey- that may be a RHP v LHP issue however.

I bet you'll take the same 2 run bomb that saved the day against the Pads...

When you factor in the following:
(1) Ludwick last year was a monster vs. LH pitching (.936 OPS), and the Cubs are starting a LH the 1st and 3rd game;
(2) Ludwick coming back from the DL was unlikely to play all 3 games, so it would make sense to rest him the middle game;
(3) the 3rd game is a day game after a night game, so Ludwick was unlikely to play both the 2nd and the 3rd game;
(4) Paul is the best hitting option in LF vs. a RH pitcher, especially one who throws hard;

it was a virutally no brainer that Ludwick would sit in place of Paul tonight.

Which was as a pinch hitter. But yet, we'll always take a homer. But there is a cut off to when a players offensive production doesn't make up for his defensive liabilities.

Of course. My point was that with his defense so poor, he's not a good enough hitter to be considered for anything close to full time duty. However, with Ludwicks injury, he was forced into more playing time.

True. A lot of Cubs fans now became Cubs fans because all the games were on WGN in the afternoon basically for free. Now WGN doesn't show as many as they used to and the afternoon games have become fewer and fewer.

The Reds have more opportunities to catch the Cardinals than they do the Pirates. Even if the Reds go 4-2 vs. Pittsburgh, they'll only gain two games. So they need to worry about Pitt losing more so than St. Louis IMHO
