Does this mean the Reds are out of "win now" mode?
after the Pirates finish their sweep of the Reds as guess the lose now mode will be back.
There is really no way to describe batting Gonzo 2nd instead of Hatty, it's back to this entire breaking up the lefties theory that seems to always drive batting order placement if you are a Reds manager. Of course it won't matter if they can't get to Snell and the construction of the lineup certainly isn't going to maximize their chances.

I just looked at the numbers, Gonzalez is 4-7 lifetime against Snell. I'm sure that played some part in the lineup construction.

I must say I do find it utterly humorous that in tonight's lineup, the two hitters with the worst ratio of outs per plate appearance are both directly batting in front of the team's two best power hitters.Code:2007 PA/Outs Hamilton 1.52 Gonzalez 1.39 Griffey 1.59 Phillips 1.39 Dunn 1.54 Valentin 1.47 Hatteberg 1.59 Encarnacion 1.51 Castro (Career) 1.31 Ellison (Career) 1.34
