Lewis 5th?? I don't mind Lewis in there, but i'd switch him and Cairo.
Bruce is 5/9 off of a very good pitcher....you don't punish the team

Doubt it is punishment for a missed cutoff.

Maybe he is getting traded and they dont want him to get hurt tonite

No way they trade Bruce.....Dusty just getting him some extra rest.

No. Bruce is out due to dizzy spells felt after arriving at the park today. This one isn't on Dusty. And he's not being traded.

How long can they wait to give the official lineup....right before the game right? You'd think if Bruce felt ready to go from 5:00-6:50 that he would be put in there.

Pretty sure it is not oficial until they hand it to the ump right before the game..but I am usually wrong.

I'd leave Lewis alone and switch Cairo and Stubbs.

Pretty pumped Frazier is back, Arredondo will help the team too if he can throw strikes.

Reds will start a winning streak, I can feel it in the 100 degree air. Just watched my niece's soccer game and about passed out after 1:10 of standing.

Reds have a catcher giving it his all in the heat! Nice play by Hanigan, and it helps Arroyo go 1,2,3 on 8 pitches.

Heisey started his doom by swinging at ball 2 which would have made it 2-0, then waved at two breaking balls that broke off the plate outside. Those last two are his bugaboo like Gomes also.

I love Cozart.

I feel sorry for those poor bastards in left field. It must feel like 110 degrees on there right now, especially in the bleachers.

Jurrjens only 86-87 on his fastball tonight. Cozart lays off and gets to 3-1 and then plants a waist high fastball(the 4th at 86-87 of his AB) in the middle of the plate in the LF stands to salvage the 1st inning for the Reds, 1-0.

Arroyo throwing BP balls. Only a matter of time til he gets hammered. Hopefully he can get lucky 4 more innings.

Yes very lucky that smash by Gonzalez with with 2 on and 0 out went for a DP, and that Brooks made an out after being ahead 3-1. 20 pitches thru 2, but the Braves have the left handers stacked at 2-5 and 2-5 and 7-8. The 4th will be big for Bronson.

Pathetic AB by Stubbs to not even make contact after Lewis steals 2nd. But the Braves give Lewis 3rd. Let's see if reliable Cairo can get him in from there with less than 2 out.
