you simply have no way of knowing that, at all.
Phillips has produced nearly 100 RBI's with only 16 home runs, clearly he can hit with runners in scoring position and drive runners in.
I'm just glad there is at least one person in the organization that wants to try and shake things up a little bit. Little concerning that it has to be the 2nd basemen but whatever, I'll take it.

Reds need to come up big tonight. BP showing leadership by suggesting batting order change. Time to get back on track.

I have never seen an overt sign - read that public --- that Dusty ever punishes -- now he may do it privately but I have my doubts.
If he was doing public punishment -- he's had SO many chances this year and he's passed on every one.
Next issue -- is it a good idea -- that's another debate.
The older I get - the better I was
and yes - I hate the Cardinals (Reds fan since 1958)
I miss Raisor
They will play with fire tonight....the Cards will be a little unfocused. The strike zone will be fair and Bailey will pitch well with Chappy going the 9th.
Reds 5
Cards 3
Stop the panic.

Despite an off day tomorrow, Molina sits tonite. A little Matheny hubris?

Cozart leads the Reds in RBI in August. He should bat cleanup.
