Of course Estes is rockin. He's got the double barrel fortune of being a fomer Red and a crafty lefty.

Going to be a challenge to score tonight. Somehow Reds have five lefty hitters in the lineup against Estes. I guess the Reds are so good they don't need to use righties against lefties.
This could be the worst lineup of the season, not batting order, but player selection. With EE out, at least use Ross from the right side. Probably would have made sense to play Hairston in the outfield and Janish at short.
Gerut grounds out to Volquez. 1 out.
Gerut grounds out back to EV on the 2nd pitch
