9/1/09 - Reds vs. Pirates
I'm pretty sure this lineup proves that Dusty pre-orders his lineup cards with the position set and just pencils the names in accordingly. Kevin Barker is seriously our clean-up hitter, in front of Rolen and Gomes? SERIOUSLY?
Stubbs CF
Janish SS
Phillips 2B
Barker 1B
Rolen 3B
Gomes RF
Balentien LF
Tatum C
Lehr P
And the Buccos:
McCutchen CF
Young 2B
Jones RF
Doumit C
Pearce 1B
Milledge LF
LaRoche 3B
Cedeno SS
Morton P
Re: 9/1/09 - Reds vs. Pirates
Barker's a lefty, breaking up the RHs Phillips/Rolen/Gomes.
I know he's a rook, but Barker's put up some VERY nice power numbers this year between here and L'ville.
.417 ba / .500 slg / .917 ops with the Reds (VERY limited playing time)
.285 ba / .551 slg / .927 ops with the Bats (350 ab's)
It's not as bad as you'd think.

If the lineup card was pre-ordered, wouldn't Barker be hitting third?
Re: 9/1/09 - Reds vs. Pirates
Lead off walk to McCutchen.
Re: 9/1/09 - Reds vs. Pirates
Nice move by Lehr, picks off young Andrew.

Re: 9/1/09 - Reds vs. Pirates
I like the looks of some of these young Pirates. Jones singles softly past Phillips.
Re: 9/1/09 - Reds vs. Pirates
Doumit lines a single to center. Lehr having some trouble early.
Re: 9/1/09 - Reds vs. Pirates
Votto should be worried about Barker pulling a Wally Pip. ;-)
Re: 9/1/09 - Reds vs. Pirates
Pearce flies to Stubbs a few feet short of the track. Lehr wasn't fooling anyone that inning.
Re: 9/1/09 - Reds vs. Pirates
Morton is the kid Atlanta got for McClouth. Stubbs grounds to third.
Re: 9/1/09 - Reds vs. Pirates
Janish works a walk good patience.
Re: 9/1/09 - Reds vs. Pirates
Brandon "the wrist" Phillips chasing 100 RBI's doubles to deep right center.

Something must happen to fielders in GABP. Right CF seems to give fielders a hard time.
