Hopefully those brooms will get worn out this season.
Not to nitpick(Hey! That's what we do best on RZ!) but I would really like to Janish play everyday. I know they need to get Renteria AB's but Janish is hitting the ball pretty good now and IMO should be in the lineup.

Funny you mention that because Fay asked Dusty this.Hopefully those brooms will get worn out this season.

– Janish has been playing very well (.444 BA) but is getting a day off, as Reds prepare for road trip to Arizona and San Diego. Plus, manager Dusty Baker said Renteria hits Astros starter Brett Myers well.
Renteria has a .425 lifetime BA (17-for-40) vs. Myers, with 2 homers. Janish is 0-for-6 lifetime against Myers.
“We’ve still got to monitor (Janish) so he stays strong,” Baker said. “We’ve got a day game, and a long trip coming up.”
I'm fine w/ Renteria getting 2 starts a week. Obviously, I prefer the future gold-glover out there, but I understand getting everyone some work.
I get to listen to Marty today here at work, so I'm looking forward to the game. Go Reds!
Dusty has shut me up this year.
Most of his moves have made sense. This lineups also.
Playing matchups, while giving guys like Rolen a rest. Nice!
He's been aggressive in-game, and it has worked. I'm not sure I'd be stealing with guys like Phillips (who has lost a few steps), Janish (who is not fast ) and Gomes. But it's hard to argue with success.
The bullpen workload has been distributed nicely, also.
What can you say?
That said, Myers vs. LeCure is a tough matchup for us. Go REDS!
Keep it rolling!

Can't argue with that reasoning. Dusty reads his scouting reports and acts on them for the most part.

While PJ has gained a tremendous amount of strength the last 2-3 years.....he still shows signs of wearing down and getting weaker with extended streaks of playing time. I'm good with seeing ER getting 1-2 starts a week....PJ can come in late for D if needed. We're spoiled with the depth this year.
