Since Price switched the lineup a few games back, and somehow I just knew it was going to happen, we've seen this happen....
Joey Votto 0-4, 0-3, 0-4
Zack Cozart 1-4, 0-4, 1-4
Both those guys were on absolute FIRE...you don't mess with a player when he's in the groove. Dumb move.
Mesoraco hasn't started a game in 16 days. 5 PA during that time. And still days away from "testing" his hip.
Apparently placing him on the 15-day DL was never a possibility in Jocketty's world.

Here is what I would be curious to see them try:
Billy Hamilton
Joey Votto
Todd Frazier
Marlon Byrd
Brayan Pena
Jay Bruce
Brandon Phillips
Zack Cozart
Jason Marquis
Byrd hit 4th most of the Spring and had a nice Spring and seems to be coming around. Obviously Spring is Spring but give it a shot. Phillips/ Cozart seemed to do well in 7/9 role earlier. I don't like Pena as high as 5 but it moves Bruce down.
I like your lineup...but I tweeked it JUUUUUUST a tad. :O)Originally Posted by klw

I would bat him 9th
Anybody watching this Grande-Votto interview? It's pretty clear why Grande is so well respected in this sport, even if we give him a hard time for his play-by-play. Really great interview. And Joey has to be the most honest and thoughtful player I've ever seen. Votto just said this about if he'd played on the Machine:
"It may make people upset, but I'm hitting in the middle of that lineup."
"I never argue with people who say baseball is boring, because baseball is boring. And then, suddenly, it isn't. And that's what makes it great." - Joe Posnanski
Boesch with 4 hard hit balls yesterday, so his reward is to sit for the next week.
Just saw the Baltimore game is being cancelled tonite due to the riots...such a shame!!!
A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor!
I'd love to see this lineup
Hamilton
Votto
Frazier
Cozart
Phillips
Bruce
Pena
Byrd
Go Gators!

elbow sprain or strain? -- can we see Tommy John in the future?
The older I get - the better I was
and yes - I hate the Cardinals (Reds fan since 1958)
I miss Raisor

What's this about Homer? Please don't tell me they rushed him back too soon and he re-injured his arm.
As for this lineup, Price just doesn't get it. Cozart should NEVER bat second.
