Per Bucs Dugout, this is Cincy's line-up. As of now, they didn't have Pittsburgh's.

Zack Cozart SS
Drew Stubbs CF
Joey Votto 1B
Brandon Phillips 2B
Jay Bruce RF
Scott Rolen 3B
Chris Heisey LF
Ryan Hanigan C
Johnny Cueto P

I'm rather disappointed. This is far less of a WTF line-up than I've seen from Dusty in the past. WHERE'S WILLIE HARRIS?!?!?!???

Love this lineup. Reds win 100-0 and Cueto throws a perfect game.

Dinglebaker says he isn't going to move Phillips out of the cleanup spot until he finds someone better suited for it.

Hey, asshole, what about Jay Fucking Bruce?

And the L-R-L thing isn't a valid reason.

Why mess with Bruce when things are working so well with him? I don't think he has a great track record in the 4 hole.

Lets hope this year is different than last against the Pirates.

He's already said it....gotta avoid Lefty, lefty in the middle of the lineup because in the 7th inning the opponent might only have to use 1 pitcher.

Screw the matchups in the first 6 innings. Good thing he didn't manage the 1927 Yankees.

Heisey gets the important(especially with rain threatening) first run of the game in with what I wanted Valdez to do yesterday, a 2 out bunt with a runner on 3rd.

Cueto needs three out to make the 3-1 game an official game. If he doesn't get 3 outs before the rain comes, the Reds will be far behind. I think there is enough time for Johnny to get thru at least 6, maybe 7 innings, before they have a rain delay.

Cueto is 0-4 tonight, do you bench him for his next start?

Assuming the rain holds off, does Dusty send Cueto out for the 9th with 98 pitches thru 8 innings?

Reds get the first two batters on base and don't get a run. Thats the Reds offense we know and loathe.

Heisey had a couple chances to really impress Dusty tonight after his first 2 hits but couldn't do it.

His first two hits should impress Dusty....but he could go 5/5 with 8 RBI and Luddy will be out there tomorrow.

Heisey will get two starts this weekend for 1 reason.....he's from the area....that's it

Heisey...ugh

No thanks. His current role on this team is just fine. And I hate Dusty and 99% of his decisions...not giving Heisey 100% of the starts is the 1%.

Solid offensive approach by the Reds hitters tonight with 10 of the 26 fair balls hit against Correia in his 7 innings going to the opposite field. All 3 of the HRs and all 5 of the EBHs were pulled, which goes to show that if you demonstrate that you will go the other way, you'll get pitches to pull.

Reds need all the wins they can get in this series

Their next 5 or 6 series are brutal
