I guess Narron didn't like having a .400 OBP in the 2 hole against righties. Casey's is hot right now, but still should not be in the 3 hole.
The two worst hitters starting are batting 2nd and 3rd in the lineup ... again.
Figures :barf:
Anybody have the stats on how Lopez does when batting in front of Aurillia v. batting in front of Dunn? It seems to me, anecodotally, that he has a lot of 0-fers and 1-fers with Dunn behind him, but a lot of 2 and 3 hit games with Rich behind him.
That, if true, both confuses and irks me.
FWIW Aurilia and Casey OWN Tomko and Dunn is hitting .182 off him.
Dunn does have 2 HR's against Tomko in 11 AB's though.
Names out of a hat every night.
*shrug*
I knew Dunn in the 2 spot was fleeting ;)
It looks to me that Narron *may* be looking at batter vs. pitcher stats in his lineup construction.
I guess Dunn's .538 OBP in the two slot isn't good enough.
Those two RBIs last night didn't help either. :confused:Quote:

Gonna watch the game on TiVo after work tonight, so, this is my only check-in. Go Reds, and if what Caveat Emperor says is right....how odd, eh?
It does seem that Narron is looking at pitching/hitting matchups...really, he could do worse, IMO.
DDN didnt show itQuote:

Tonight would be as good a night as any for Aaron to stop stinking.
If that's the best he can do with Dunn batting behind him...... :bang:Quote:

Narron is Miley Lite
A hitter with an OPS under 700 against RH pitching batting 3rd. I guess those numbers don't countQuote:

Casey
About a week into the season I predicted Casey would OPS sub 800 the first half of the season. I also predicted he'll OPS >900 the second half.
I'll stick to that for now.
As it just did for me.... :rant:Quote:

Randa 882

Pena 802
Larue 819
2 worst hitters(by a lot are hitting 2nd and 3rd) should be batting 7th and 8th
BTW, Josh Hall had another good outing. 6IP 5H 2ER 2BB 3K
He should be here instead of Hudson who has no clue where the ball is going
Casey's gimmick is he goes on season long slumps and then season long hot streaks. Only deal is those "seasons" are never in the same season.
He'll streak from allstar break to allstar break.
and no clue how easy his stuff is to hit.Quote:

But Casey has to be hurt, cuz this seems awfully familiar.
Hall, I sould like to give him the rest of the year to be successful, no matter what. I wouldn't even want to see a promotion to AAA. Next year he can sink or swim in the bigs. Kelly, OTOH, strikes me as a pitcher who has a track record of success, and would seem to gain the most and lose the least by a promotion. If Hudson had options, Kelly would be up and Luke sent down. But since he doesn't, we shall see neither.Quote:

this organization is so completely lost it is impossible to describe
Marty just said that Casey is possibly the most un-productive regular first baseman in the league.
So we've got that going for us, which is nice.Quote:

When the Reds traded for Casey, years like 99 or 04 I thought would be normal years for him, with some years Casey hitting something like 340 30 homers and 120RBI type years. He never has lived up to that potential I thought he had. But not many of the 97-99 group traded for/drafted have.Quote:
