Fun fact: Wilson and Dontrelle were teammates in the minors and big leagues.
Votto broken bat single to right. 2-1 Reds.
This one is very, very winnable for the Reds.
"This isn’t stats vs scouts - this is stats and scouts working together, building an organization that blends the best of both worlds. This is the blueprint for how a baseball organization should be run. And, whether the baseball men of the 20th century like it or not, this is where baseball is going."---Dave Cameron, U.S.S. Mariner
Should Stubbs hit eighth when Cozart is in the lineup?
Votto can get a single at will. He is not hitting for power right now, but gets hit after hit.
All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!
Phillips flies out to center. 2-1 Reds mid 2nd.
Stubbs hitting before the pitcher will never get a good pitch and will strike out 499 times.
Stubbs needs to hit first in this lineup, or seventh. Hitting Stubbs seventh with Ramon to follow isn't bad.
If Reds had a LF who could hit leadoff well, moved Stubbs to seventh, Ramon/Hanigan to eighth, I think it would be better.
Dusty said that he did consider moving him up in the order quite a bit, but considering that he's only playing half the time, he didn't want to shake up the whole order for only half the time. I really don't think the players care THAT much where they hit in the order.
Kottaras strikes out looking. 1 out.
Wolf just missed a homer down the line.
That'll get reviewed.
