Frazier tweaked his back last night. Day to day.


Our first time seeing the Reds this season and THAT is the lineup? No Frazier I get...but not having Mes is terrible.


DAMMIT!


Oh and to top it off, a thunderstorm again, so don't get to watch Batting practice. AWESOME!

No Mesoraco when he is swinging the bat is pretty much irresponsible at this point. Wonder why they haven't given him a shot at 1B to spell him?

Schumaker starts last night vs. a LHP and is on the bench tonight. Questionable.

Having Negron, Santiago, Hannahan in the lineup at the same time is really not something that should ever happen.

And besides Mes and Frazier not starting, Walt and Company are playing a man short again tonight. Bailey went to the DL but they are waiting until tomorrow to make a corresponding move. Why are the Reds the only team that seems to be afraid of making roster moves.

Well, this is interesting. Morales (Rox long reliever who was slated to start tonight) his wife went into labor today, so he's scratched. It's an all bullpen game for the Rox. Former Red Matt Belisle is starting. Yes the reliever.

Hannahan should get credited with a hit if he fouls one off...

Tom Servo

Belisle was a starter once, wasn't he?
In the god forsaken 2007 season, yes. I remember heading into that season thinking that he could probably stick as a backend rotation guy.

I was under the impression that Mesoraco doesn't want to play 1B. He believes he is unable to play anywhere except C.

I thought Mesoraco said something about having never played any position except catcher when he was asked about 1B and LF early this season.

Ironman92
08-15-2014, 08:59 PM
It's reckless that Hannahannnahannahan gets a start at first and Mesoraco on the bench...ESPECIALLY without Frazier!

Where's the offense ? Frazier can't play...ok so replace him with our worst offensive player?

I'd rather Skip be at first base.

I just can't fathom how Ludwick and Mesoraco can't play first base. Luddy is 6'3 and solid with his glove....zero, ZERO (Thom voice) doubt that Ludwick can play first. Meso is a good athlete and I just don't believe that he can't play first.

Price gives Heisey starts in head scratching instances but needing a fill in for a start he's a career .412 hitter and 1.206 OPS at Coors Field. If you were ever going to start him out of dire need.... You'd think it would be tonight.

Again, I'd much rather Skip be at first.

Yeah I thought for whatever reason the Reds or Mesoraco were not comfortable with him trying to learn a new position in the middle of the season so the plan was to get him comfortable with it this coming offseason.

He's the same guy that sucked for the Reds for 500 games and 5th OF for the Indians last year.

The only place he has "bounced" back is home in Coors where the ball moves less than half of what it does EVERYWHERE else.

His home OPS is 1.012
His road OPS is .611

Cozart would hit .285 at Coors

He was an MVP, then 30 hr 11 RBI season, then 2nd in MVP, then was OPSing 1.081 in about 1/2 of the next season when he was drilled in the head for his career changing concussion....which was followed by more. Glad he is doing well now.
