I hate to sound like a negative Nellie but I hate the Reds chances against Kluber. I hope this a huge negative jinx but I really doubt they win if Simon gives up more than a run.
My only guess with Hannahan is he is a lefty and they hit for a higher average against Kluber than righties. I would rather see Ludwick myself.

Woohoo! I am in my Cleveland hotel 3 blocks from the field getting ready for dinner and a few cold ones before the game! We are going to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the game tomorrow also. Go Reds!

Clearly they chose Hannahan to DH because he knows this field well and it gives him an advantage. No? Okay, I'm out of ideas.
Asinine to not have Luddy as DH
Shocking that Skip Schumaker gets another start and we also have Cozart in the lineup and of course our wonderful DH Jack Hanahan
Can Hannahan go back on the DL? Please.

Price on #Reds offense "we lost out feel, our approach and mojo but it looks like we're headed back in the right direction now"
Righties don't hit him at all. .218/.251/.282/.533
Kluber is having a dominating season. His xFIP is the 6th best in baseball (Cueto is 14th).

Has it really come to people criticizing Price for not using Ludwick as DH? If that's what you want it really doesn't matter at this point. Ludwick sucks as a DH. I'd much rather Price go with the lefty vs righty in the long run that anything, although with this collection of hitters it doesn't really matter.
