This is the ol Left Hander rounding third and heading for home.
Sigh, is this the second or third "desperation lineup" this year already?
[Phil ] Castellini celebrated the team's farm system and noted the team had promising prospects who would one day be great Reds -- and then joke then they'd be ex-Reds, saying "of course we're going to lose them". #SellTheTeamBob
Nov. 13, 2007: One of the greatest days in Reds history: John Allen gets the boot!
Lets just throw nine numbers into a hat and draw for batting order imo.
I do appreciate that he's trying things that we would never, ever have seen with Dusty here, whether they work out or not.

I'd rather listen to Kelch read the phone book than suffer through Thom Brennaman's attempt to make every instance on the field the most important event since the discovery of manned space flight. -westofyou

I actually like it with who is available and with how Pena is hitting.
I like it. Votto needs some RBI this series to boost his numbers for the common folk.

Interesting lineup. I can buy into it in light of how some of these guys are recently performing.
I don't have many inviolate rules in baseball.
But not hitting Heisey and Cozart back-to-back would be one of them.
I do like Votto hitting cleanup very much, it's like Price telling Votto to cut the nonsense and drive the ball. Hope it works.
As for Pena second, it concerns me about the DP, but it's worth a try if he's feeling healthy again.

I like the fact that Price isn't afraid to shake things up and try something new. Very interested to see what Votto does in the #4 spot.

How about the teams switch Shortstops for the series?
