Lecure to DL to make room for Cochran. Hope it's a quick stay for Lecure on the DL.


As for the lineup, I'd switch Stubbs and Lewis, but I like it.

Braves current starting OF is Prado, Schafer, and Hinske. Now I know Hewyard and McLouth are on the DL, but it sure doesn't look like they have very much depth in the OF. How about Heisey to the Braves for some of their excellent bullpen, or starting depth even.

11 pitch inning for Cueto, which looks good until you see Jurjens' 6 pitch inning. :eek:

Chapman looked good in the 8th inning for Louisville, but he blew up in the 9th giving up 4 runs, on 2 walks, 2 singles, and two doubles. His line for the evening: 1.2IP, 4 Hits, 4 ER, 2 BBs, 3 Ks. His ERA is currently 13.50.

Why wasn't Votto on the bag? I think they'd have gotten him. Grr.

Intentional walk to Bruce to pitch to Lewis. C'mon Fred.

Rolen crushes the ball, Votto makes a great base running move by advancing to second, and all Valentine can talk about is how awesome Schaffer is.

ESPN just reported that Reyes will be expensive because the Mets will want more than they will get from the draft pick they will get if he leaves as a free agent.

If that is their definition of expensive, I hate to hear what they think cheap will be. And I hope the Reds pay that expensive price.

Marty just won't quit arguing about it and Kelch seems to know it and usually gets him started by saying stuff like, "How do you pronounce New Orleans?" or "Did you just say Circle Ville? They eat a lot of time fussing about something nobody really cares about.

I really don't like Stubbs as a lead off hitter. He's too streaky. Votto comes up way too often with the bases empty.

I like Stubbs as a player, but would like to see him hit sixth in the lineup.

Reyes, of course, would solve that dilemma.

I have the crazy theory that the fastest guy should bat eighth. Let him steal bases while the pitcher's batting, then he'll be in scoring position for the top of the lineup.

Yep. A steal and a bunt and the guy's on third. He also gets fewer walks in front of the pitcher if he's a base-stealing threat.

Hershiser says that Cueto is a different pitcher from the stretch. Much better from the full wind up.

Asking a Reds pitcher to hold a lead through six innings is near impossible. I guess Leake did it recently.

Last night, Dusty used Arredondo to get one out. That was certainly inefficient. With the bullpen so overworked, obviously you don't put a guy in to get one out.

Arredondo should be fully available tonight. Cordero should be available, he didn't work yesterday. Certainly Cochran is available.

I wouldn't leave Cueto out there if he is gassed.

Lewis looks amazingly shaky in the field so far. Lots of somewhat close calls, but I guess the important thing is that he is getting it done.

Alex Gonzalez. What a clueless punk. Yeah, they were trying to hit you. Way to stare down the pitcher AND the catcher. Uh, if the Reds wanted to hit someone, they'd probably pick someone who wasn't a near-automatic out.

Still can't believe how much $$ we wasted on him. What a joke. One of the players I definitely root against.

He hit a ball right down the LF line, and it's not like the Braves OF were playing him to pull.

I think him and the catchers are the only players not standing on 2nd base. Even old man Rolen makes it.

They just said on ESPN that Dusty basically told them before the game he was more concerned about "saving the bullpen" than he was "winning this game."

That is about the 5th or 6th call this crew has blown this series. I was surprised they sent Janish on that play. The ball was hit hard to shallow left and the throw easily beat him though Ross probably missded the tag.
