Re: 8/9 Game Thread - Reds vs. Cubs
when does the game start?
Re: 8/9 Game Thread - Reds vs. Cubs
Re: 8/9 Game Thread - Reds vs. Cubs
LaRue?!
I'd prefer Austin there to get some good pitches with JR and Dunn behind him.
Re: 8/9 Game Thread - Reds vs. Cubs
The only reason I see Larue batting second is if he owns prior.
Re: 8/9 Game Thread - Reds vs. Cubs
Larue number two.
vs Prior (Career) ab 16 h 6 hr 0 obp .688 slug .444 avg .375
Question is, will he try to get plunked during his first at bat or wait till later in the game.
;)
Re: 8/9 Game Thread - Reds vs. Cubs
LaRue batting 2nd? What's going on?! :runaway:
Re: 8/9 Game Thread - Reds vs. Cubs
Yeah, but Jr. will definitely see some good pitches in front of Dunn!
Re: 8/9 Game Thread - Reds vs. Cubs
At least we have Ray over Rich :)

Career vs Prior. See above.
Re: 8/9 Game Thread - Reds vs. Cubs
LaRue is 6/16 lifetime with 5 doubles v. Prior. Must be what Narron's looking at.
Other notables:
Lopez - 2/10 w/ 4k
Junior - 2/8 w/ 1 2b, 2k
Dunn - 4/17 w/ 3 2b, 9k
Casey - 4/22 w/ 2k
Kearns - 3/12 w/ 2 HR, 5k
Olmedo - 0/2
---That said, nice to see Casey ahead of Kearns in the order, eh?
Re: 8/9 Game Thread - Reds vs. Cubs
I think Miley did this (LaRue 2nd), last year against Cleveland and everyone was all over him about it.

According to Marty last night, that was Narron's reasoning.

No game on FSN Ohio but the game is on WGN for those who get it.
