    4/2/11- Reds vs. Brewers

    Stubbs 8
    Phillips 4
    Votto 3
    Rolen 5
    Gomes 7
    Bruce 9
    Renteria 6
    Hanigan 2
    Wood 1

    vs. Marcum

    Interesting to see RR getting the start so soon... guess it took one game (with 2 hits) for Janish to lose the starting job. (jk)

    Curious as to why Gomes is batting ahead of Bruce against a righty.

    Hanigan in to catch Wood.

    I won't be here tonight. Yeah, I no what I said earlier, but... circumstances have changed.

    Gomes has a .000/.000/.000 line versus Marcum in his career, so that might be the reason for the move ahead of Bruce.

    I really don't understand the complete lack of recognition when it comes to platoon splits. Pretty disappointed to see Janish on the bench, but the Sun Deck pointed out that Renteria is 4-8 against Marcum.

    Funny how the people who deride stat heads make silly decisions based on crappy use of stats.
    Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.

    Maybe Janish is going to play 70% of the time and this is one game where Baker wants to play Edgar. I wouldn't read too much into it just yet.

    Was hoping to see Francisco start tonight and Rolen tomorrow vs. Wolf. Would have rather seen that than Cairo or Francisco tomorrow.

    I think you'll see Rolen play tomorrow. Off day Friday, off day Monday, I would guess he is going.

    I understand why Renteria is playing (not saying I like it, but I understand it), but what's the logic behind flipping Gomes and Bruce? That really makes zero sense.

    Maybe, but right now it's 50/50.If Janish is really the everyday SS then why is he sitting in the second game of the season following an off day and coming off an opening day in witch he collected himself two hits while playing flawless defense?

    One time everyone wigged out b/c Ramon pinch hit instead of Nix and we found out later that Nix was unavailable b/c of a bad back. Maybe Janish has the flu. Maybe he got mono from Arroyo. Maybe he got benched b/c he said bad things on Twitter. Maybe they want Janish playing tomorrow b/c they'll need his range with Cairo and/or Juan playing 3B.

    Like I said before, we shouldn't read too much into it.
