Harang has 93 pitches. Wil they pinch hit and try to get 12 outs from the bull-pen?

Harang exits the game after Cairo weakly hits a grounder to the shortstop while pinch hitting for him.

Light hitters at the top of the order also do nothing. Here comes the top of the 6th and Mike Lincoln.

Big surprise. Baker uses Miguel 'I didn't know he was still in baseball' Cairo to pinch hit for Harang. I understand why he is on the team, but I cannot figure out what Baker is doing using him in that situation. He's defensive help, nothing more.

And now, here comes Mike Lincoln. We know Pete bet on the Reds when he was manager, but I'm thinking Baker is betting against them.

Yeah I didn't understand the Cairo move either haha. The guy has never been a good hitter and he is the 1st guy off the bench? I was hoping Stubbs would pinch hit and then stay in the game defensively with Nix taking a seat.

Dusty saving his best until the game is already lost! You'd think that after all the losing seasons in a row, he'd be a little aggressive!

Wasn't Carpenter in the 70s on pitch count after the 4th? And now he's thru six and still less than 90? They need to get into the Cards bull-pen!

Johnny is definitely wound for sound. Haha. I loved his call of Rolen's shot.

Pujols just went deep again off a "stuff"-less Mike Lincoln.

Pujols on pace for 324 HR's. That would be a record, right??

Lincoln sucks.

Can we please get a lineup that includes Gomes and Stubbs on an everyday basis? I don't know how you guys feel about Gomes, but I really like him. I know he can at least get the ball out of the infield.

Is Dusty still the manager?

Yes.

So to your question, no :(

You mean right before walking into the booth or since the game started or all day?

Mike Lincoln and Dusty Baker are lovers.

BCBulldog, remember our conversation about Lincoln in the "Reds Opening Day Roster" thread haha. Upon further review he is still among the worst pitchers in the league.

This is going to be my 3rd season of 25+ games I'll go to. Mike Lincoln is flat out not a big league pitcher. The guy got booed leaving the game on Opening Day.

How the fuck did Lincoln even make the roster? I get that guys like Burton and Fisher might not be elite-level middle relievers, but Lincoln is HORRIBLE!

Anyone know when Volquez is supposed to be back? I know he's on the 60 day DL, but when did that go into effect?

I have heard late July-early August for Volquez. He has already started throwing and he says he feels good

But don't count on him for much then, except to get used to pitching again. I think typically it takes another several months before control and command comes around!

Bench is really talking himself up

Bench just said that Juan Francisco has more potential than Prince Fielder haha. Possible I guess, but just kind of funny to hear.

Francisco knocks in Stubbs. 6-3
