Reds at Pirates Game 2

• dave

  Leake vs Maholm.
  
  Reds looking to win another series, Pirates looking for their 70th loss.

  Juan Francisco is gettin the call up to replace Cabrera.
  
  He has had a good season, and an even better July. I like this move.
• se-alum

  

  Francisco in July: .301, 11hr, 28rbi. Not a bad month....
• karen lotz

  

  Good news is if he is in the lineup tonight and tomorrow he will still be facing minor league quality arms. And then he's off to Chicago to face a staff that gave up 93 runs last night.
• se-alum

  

  Unfortunately, this move makes me think Votto will be out for more than a couple games. This move allows Cairo to remain at first, and Francisco to spell Rolen at third, while Janish takes over the SS position for Cabrera. Hopefully I'm way off with this scenario!!

  What would you guys think of Manny in a Reds uniform? lol
• Rotinaj

  

  Is that being talked about or just something ur curious about?

  A guy brought it up on another site, it is completely made up lol I thought it was interesting

  He is a terrible fielder and even worse in the clubhouse. That being said, his bat would be great in the 5 hole.
• dave

  I don't think he'd be bad in the clubhouse for a 7 week stretch. There's a pretty big Latin/Hispanic or whatever term you want to use population on the team. I think that would help.
  
  I don't think I'd want him since he's been hurt, but I don't think he'd have that much trouble in GABP. On the road is another story.

  Votto is fine, good news. He will be able to pinch hit tonight, and will be in the lineup tomorrow.
  
  Janish becomes the everyday shortstop. Cairo will be the utility guy, as he can play all 4 infield positions. Francisco will be able to spell Rolen at 3rd when needed, similar to what Cairo's job used to be earlier in the season.

  They need to sweep to keep the pressure on the Cards.
• Ironman92

  

  I think they need to sweep to gain maximum confidence OR/AND a slight allowance for problems on the west coast trip

  could this be what you saw???.....actually this guy makes some good points....
• wildcats20

  

  The only way the Reds should try to get Manny is if LA will pay 99% of what's left on his contract.
• darbypitcher22

  

  ^^^^
  
  that's not happening, and we all know it.
  
  Reds need a sweep and then go to Chicago and win 2 of 3 if not sweep
• justincredible

  

  Is this rain delay over yet?
  
  I mean, I love NCIS, but it doesn't compare to the Redlegs.
