Love the lineup.
Good day to give Stubbs a break.
This is the time. The real Reds organization is back.
I also love the line-up, and the notion of giving Stubbs a day off.
Edmonds' numbers against Bush are just plain sick. 6 for 13, 3 HRs, 11 RBIs
Glad to see Gomes batting 7th....hopefully help his anxiety a bit.
Baseball is like church. Many attend, few understand
I've felt for some time now that a move down in the lineup would do Gomes some good.I'm surprised it has taken Dusty this long considering his willingness to do it with other guys.Moves like this have helped get some guys going better this year so hopefully that continues.Gomes has been better lately though.
New lineup:
Phillips 4
Cabrera 6
Bruce 9
Rolen 5
Edmonds 3
Gomes 7
Hernandez 2
Heisey 8
Volquez 1
320
I'd rather listen to Kelch read the phone book than suffer through Thom Brennaman's attempt to make every instance on the field the most important event since the discovery of manned space flight. -westofyou
Wouldn't mind seeing Alonso get the start at 1B and leave Edmonds in CF once Votto got scratched.
"Today was the byproduct of us thinking we can come back from anything." - Joey Votto after blowing a 10-1 lead and holding on for the 12-11 win on 8/25/2010.
1. Is Heisey hitting after Hernandez mainly because Hernandez is a better hitter?
2. Is Hernandez hitting after Gomes mainly because Gomes is a better hitter?
3. Is Gomes hitting after Edmonds mainly because Edmonds is a better hitter?
If the answer to question 3 is "yes," then Edmonds should be playing ahead of Gomes for the bulk of remainder of the season/playoffs in LF.
Cards losing 3-0 to the Pirates after an inning and a half in Pittsburgh....

Brandon's hard liners FINALLY pay off. Single.
Has Jay ever hit in the 3 hole before?
