Reds DH hitters this season batting .109

Reds pitchers this year batting .126

The only acceptable DH guys are Ludwick, Mesoraco and maybe Pena

I expect Meso to be the DH today. Luddy, stupidly didn't start yesterday so he's in LF as Pena will catch Cueto and fuck up the lineup.

So I'll guess

BHam 8
Bruce 9
Frazier 3 (yuck)
Meso DH
Ludwick 7
Pena 2
Skip 4 (yuck)
Santiago 5
Cozart 6

I hate Frazier on 1st, let him play 3B and Pena at first....Meso catching.

I'd go...

BHam 8
Bruce 9
Frazier 6
Meso 2
Ludwick DH
Pena 3
Santiago 4
Heisey 7
Negron 6

I'd be OK with Pena in the 2 slot knowing he'll take pitches to let BHam steal

your guys are up against Josh Tomlin who has a propensity to issue gopher balls. I'll be shocked if you don't put up 4 in the first 5 innings.

If the Reds can't score against Josh Tomlin, it's officially time to stop making threads for the rest of the year...

4 baserunners in 5 innings? Reds may be able to do that....

Are they typically this woeful on defense? They look like a bad high school team on defense. Surely this is just one of those rare games.

Will still take Brantley, love his game
