Re: 8/31/10 - Beer Makers @ Reds - Chapman is here!
I'm beginning to fall in love with Dusty.
I said it.
Re: 8/31/10 - Beer Makers @ Reds - Chapman is here!
Yeah, another A++ line-up from Dusty.
Re: 8/31/10 - Beer Makers @ Reds - Chapman is here!
There's two non-home grown players in that lineup.
Hopefully Heisey has a good night and keeps Gomes on the bench.
Re: 8/31/10 - Beer Makers @ Reds - Chapman is here!
interesting that heisey gets the nod, Bruce moves up to 5th, Stubbs back in the leadoff spot. Nothing to complain about, just not what I was expecting.
Getting a little worried about Brandon, I'd like to see him get some swings in against live pitching before the Cards series. At this point I'm assuming they're going to hold him out tomorrow as well since Dusty has a history of holding guys back an extra day or two when coming off of an injury.

I hope I'm wrong but this matchup doesn't bode well for Heisey.
I'm really curious as to why he has had zero early success vs SP this season.
Re: 8/31/10 - Beer Makers @ Reds - Chapman is here!
Is anything wrong with Hernandez ?

Harang was pitching mainly to Hanigan earlier in the season so I imagine Dusty is using Ryan here to help Aaron out in his first start back after a long layoff. That seems like a good idea to me and hopefully it helps him pitch well tonight. I just saw Ramon in the game on Sunday afternoon and he looked perfectly fine. I imagine we'll see Ramon matched up with Cueto tomorrow night.

Supposedly Phillips taking ground balls and doing other baseball activities in warm-ups. I think it's the Dusty thing of waiting an extra day or two. One of Dusty's traits I really like.

I was wondering that myself. Not because of who's starting, but because of him grabbing his hamstrings after reaching 3rd the other night. He was promptly replaced by Phillips as a pinch runner.

Saw this on Fay's blog.

Arthur Rhodes is not available tonight. That greatly increases the chances of Chapman pitching.

Well... Not so fast...
Bruce is out of the line up....
Gomes to LF, Heisey to RF.
No reason yet on why Bruce was scratched.

Re: 8/31/10 - Beer Makers @ Reds - Chapman is here!
Per Reds Twitter, Bruce has been scratched and Gomes is in. No explanation.
Re: 8/31/10 - Beer Makers @ Reds - Chapman is here!
Here is your reason why Bruce is out....

Bruce scratched for precautionary reasons with pain in right side.
