Phillips
LF

Perhaps we might shoot higher than a seventh place hitter for LF. Just please, maybe?

The reality of a full healthy lineup with a good hitting left fielder is that Phillips hits seventh or Hamilton hits seventh. Which BP might not appreciate, but he's a low .700s OPS man, and hopefully the LFer is better than that.

I would like it better if Phillips was pushed to seventh too, just pondering a way to keep him out of the top 4.

Good lineup, considering the circumstances. Negron should get some starts at SS, but at least it is not BP back to the old 2 or 4 hole BS.

Every team needs a Ray Oyler, Hal Lanier, Johnnie LeMaster type at SS...just to give the pitcher 2 easy spots at the bottom of the order.

11 pitch inning yields 3 outs

Expect the Cards to change the momentum this inning knocking out Leake and getting a tired and struggling bullpen


I like working counts too but if this ump is calling balls ....strikes.... you are just going to take pitches so you can be down 0-2 every time?

Hindsight is 20/20. This organization wasn't keeping Choo at his asking price. ALL of Redszone wanted Stubbs gone. Didi hasn't done much since he has left. The Votto/Bailey extensions were needed. Your other moves were questionable, but nobody is ever 100% on these things.

Agreed with everything except Cozart. I know you love his defense, but even before this season he was a terrible hitter. Now he's a terrible hitter who doesn't even have any power.

Also while extending Ludwick turned out badly, it's because he destroyed his shoulder on Opening Day 2013, which is something nobody can predict. And as I have said before, had the Reds let their 2nd best hitter in 2012 walk and he went to Minneosta or somewhere where he doesn't destroy his shoulder and put up similar numbers to his career then everyone would have called the front office 'cheap' and 'idiots.
