only 4 current Reds have faced Arroyo and 3 are in the lineup (Ludwick is sitting). Bernadina is 7 for 10, Schumaker is 19 for 51 and Santiago is 2 for 3. Hopefully, Leake pitches a gem and Reds win.

One could say that Reds fans like to criticize line-ups (Dusty Baker would). But really, having an Ofer who is hitting .146 playing 1B is pretty crazy. It's not like these crazy line-ups are working. I can't even understand why Bernadina is in the majors. Dusty Baker must be laughing somewhere thinking of all of those whiny Reds fans. No other team has to go through this ridiculousness. The problem is it is not even working. Last nights line-up produced what? 3 hits.

jimbo

Wow, Bernadina at first. Can't fathom the reasoning why Price continues to weaken the 1B position by putting guys there who are unfamiliar with it. Bernadina has never played the position in the major leagues. Seriously, this isn't fantasy baseball. Pena and Lutz should be manning 1B until Votto gets back, period. Mind boggling.

I think Price has seized on the fact that some of us want to see what Lutz brings (hope for the future?), as opposed to focusing on the obvious sinking ship.

And he'll have none of it.

Absolutely no reason he couldn't have started Bernie in LF and Skip at 2B (both with excellent numbers against Bronson), with Lutz at 1B.

So Bernadina is 7 for 10 against Arroyo.

You might have Kiko's post repeated throughout the thread so people would know why he's playing.

Maybe we can set up a repeating post, show it twice a page.

As for Lutz, this is one game I'm fine that he's on the bench. Arroyo has big trouble with lefties, but he's real crafty and likely to give Lutz trouble with the off-speed stuff. Lutz perhaps could have played yesterday, against a more traditional RHP, instead of Ludwick.

Absolutely no reason he couldn't have started Bernie in LF and Skip at 2B (both with excellent numbers against Bronson), with Lutz at 1B.

Only reason might be that the Reds' only big hit within memory is Phillips' homer against LA. So Price isn't sitting Phillips.

Would seem that Bernadina maybe should be playing LF and Schumaker first base. Seems more logical, but Price probably knows something that caused this alignment, maybe Bernadina played some first earlier in his career.

Not sure why everyone is so excited about this Lutz thing. My guess is he'll play tomorrow when a more regular type righty is pitching, not Arroyo.

Yeah, but when Price plays his so-called best lineup, they don't do well either. Like last night. Just look at the OPS of each individual player. His only good lineup right now maybe is -- Frazier, Mesoraco, Frazier, Mesoraco, Frazier, Mesoraco, Frazier, Mesoraco, Pitcher.

And if the DH was allowed the last batter would be Frazier.

Price is in a tough spot, not giving him any awards, but the hitting is weak and injured.

05-30-2014, 06:26 PM
This is what Price meant when he said he will give more guys an opportunity? Like the man, not sure about the manager.

I hope for another solid game for Mike, but not another fine outing wasted.

wow --- I did not know the above -- 7/10 -- that is impressive

personally -- I'd sit Bruce at this point and put Bernadina in RF with Lutz at 1B --- hope Bruce throws 3 eggs in my face

It is really sad when your pitcher is the 3rd or 4th best hitter in your lineup. With Bruce scuffling so bad, Mes, Frazier and Phillips are the only guys I feel better about coming up than Leake.

Chip R

I think Price got lost in that WKRP softball episode where Les played about 5 different positions and Andy sold him on each one by telling him that Pete Rose played (OF, 1st, 3rd).

Evidently the Reds know this lineup is going to raise brows because their facebook page has this for a post:

"Schumaker, Santiago and Bernadina combined in their careers are 28-for-64 (.438) vs Arroyo"

People wanted a manager who played by the numbers...looks like Price is doing that

That led to the Rocco grand slam.

I think Price may have concluded that Mes was doing better and more comfortable lower in the order. And also that Bronson might be tough on Mes, which so far hasn't been accurate.

I really see nothing that Price did tonight that is a big problem. Bernadina is a veteran player, putting him at first is a bit risky, but not so much. And he owns Arroyo.

I've had my problems with Price but increasingly think he should get a break. The hitting coach? Not sure that's working out.
