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....HitsRus;1641503 wrote: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.

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.HitsRus;1641584 wrote:I'm already on your side for 158 games....just not these four.
