5-11-10 Cincy vs. Pirates (Cueto throws 1 hit shutout)
John Fay posted the lineup so I figured I'd go ahead and get a game thread started here. We have a Paul Janish sighting tonight and Heisey is apparently our leadoff man tonight. :D
Reds
Chris Heisey 8
Brandon Phillips 4
Joey Votto 3
Scott Rolen 5
Jay Bruce 9
Jonny Gomes 7
Ramon Hernandez 2
Paul Janish 6
Johhny Cueto 1
vs. RHP Charlie Morton
The tarp is on the field. It’s raining ever so lightly.

No Pirates lineup yet and I really hope the rain stops for them soon. They may need a boat tonight, LOL :p:

Oh, it's raining like crazy so they won't play. Okay, now I understand why Dusty did this lineup. Little chance of it actually taking place. *sigh*
You know, after all the petitioning I've done to get Janish a start because of his defense and his hot start with the bat...he's been off so long now, he's probably forgotten how to both hit AND field.

It poured for much of the day in Pittsburgh, but I think the worst of it is past. I think they will be able to get this one in.

Good. I sure hope so.

The Hour-by-Hour forecast sure doesn't look good. I would love to see the Reds play with this line-up today. Just to pick nits, I sure would prefer Nix out there today after his double yesterday. I still like it and hope we can get this one in.
Re: 5-11-10 Cincy vs. Pirates (Ahoy Mateys!)
Forget the hour by hour, just look at the radar. It's much better than it was from Pittsburgh on west.
Re: 5-11-10 Cincy vs. Pirates (Ahoy Mateys!)
I wonder if Cabrera's two "errors" last night have anything to do with Janish starting?
Re: 5-11-10 Cincy vs. Pirates (Ahoy Mateys!)
It looks like the last of the rain is passing through right now. Most new stadiums dry out extremely quickly - I'd be shocked if they didn't play.

I disagree here. Jonny also had a hit yesterday in his only AB and is on fire way more than Nix right now.

Not to mention that enthusiasm. That kind of thing is infectious. Even more so on a young club. If he continues to play well, it'll spread.

I'm not gonna lie....I think this linuep will but up 7+ runs if they get it in.

Now they just have to deal with the fact that it's freezing. flipping. cold.
It's disgusting here. I could probably row over to the ballpark if I wanted.
Re: 5-11-10 Cincy vs. Pirates (Ahoy Mateys!)
So...Will Chris Heisey get his first Major League hit tonight? What will it be and in what inning?
I'm going with a leadoff double in the 1st.

Re: 5-11-10 Cincy vs. Pirates (Ahoy Mateys!)
HEY! Heisey's first MLB base hit. Grounder to third...beats it out. Congratulations Chris!
