Sure like to see Lorenzen start to get some hits.. Hate to see him blow this opportunity and go back to only pitching and pinch hitting

Why? That's exactly where he should be. With this bullpen we don't need Lorenzen getting hurt playing in some carnival game in CF.Originally Posted by Redsfan6272
It's simply unrealistic for us fans to think he can hit well over a large sample size with so little time actually given to the act.

Agreed, I love the Reds, but I hope Lorenzen never gets a hit again.
A worst case scenario is that Lorenzen hits well over the last 2 weeks and the Reds are deluded into thinking he's a solid OF.
This is one of the dumbest "experiments" I have ever seen.
Sure, in a pinch, put him in the OF, just like Farmer can be used to catch in a pinch.
But it's dumb to give Lorenzen starts. Both Ervin and O'Grady are likely going to be better hitters than he is.. Give them the playing time.
[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

The lineup for the Baby Bears has been added to the original post.
Votto out and Van Meter in his place. No explanation given yet.
Ron Madden (09-16-2019)
Thanks, Reds lineup has been corrected in original post
I believe VanMeter is playing 1B, at least I hope so for the pitchers sake!
Ron Madden (09-16-2019)
No Rizzo is alright by me.

Votto was scratched from the lineup Monday against the Cubs due to illness, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
he should be out the entire series
Me, OTOH, would prefer Lorenzen pitch and pitch well. He was a surprise before and now they have a book on him.

I am not sure why Lorenzen pitching well and playing the field is spoke about as being mutually exclusive.
Keep in mind Gausman is a reverse split pitcher and the Cubs have 4 players who will likely hit left handed today.
Thom is back
