Game 49 Reds ( Cueto 2-1 ) at Phillies ( Worley 2-0 )

• riders1

  

  6 in a row the wrong way! Time for Joey and Brandon to step it up and be the offensive leaders for this team. I think this is the night for the big offensive explosion to get things straightened out.

  You mean like this.....
  

  Stubbs 8, Phillips 4, Votto 3, Rolen 5, Bruce 9, Hernandez 2, Heisey 7, Janish 6, Cueto RHP

  
  I really like this lineup. But I would switch Scotty and Jay.

  My #BPFansShawty tonight if I start a double play I will be doing the Bernie dance tonight during the play...

  lol saw that too. Definitely going to be looking for it.
• Rotinaj

  

  Best lineup in a while. I'm still predicting a loss until they actually win.

  Can't bat lefties back to back, because in the 9th inning the opposing team might bring in a left handed specialist, nevermind the 1st 8 innings of the game.

  Joey's line vs LHP makes him, essentially, a righty. He and Bruce could easily bat back to back and a loogy wouldn't matter in late innings.
  
  .415/.455/.610/1.064

  True. He does great against lefties....except for that one vs the tribe...he made Votta look like a little leaguer
• thavoice

  I really do like that lineup. Have to wonder if Bruce is ready for teh 4 hole. Yeah, he leads the team in jacks but sometimes guys get the case of the goo when they get to that 4 hole, kinda like BP a couple of years ago. Some guys almost think they have to start hitting 5 run HR each time up. I like it how it is...Rolen is a quiet professional and will be good in taht spot.

  Bruce has always seemed like a bit of a head case. Seems like he thinks too much. I trust him a lot more in non pressure situations
• jordo212000

  

  I also agree about Votto. He really doesn't count as a lefty. He does well against them

  Yeah, but right now he is swinging the bat "without a care." If that makes sense. He isn't pushing at the plate, he is just hitting.
• Ironman92

  

  Exactly how I would have the lineup..it guarantees nothing but during these meager times it gives them the best chance to win .
• gerb131

  

  Need to snap this thing tonight. If not it will just snowball. We need a bonafide ace to stop these streaks like this.
• Tiger2003

  

  Phillies line up:
  
  Rollins 6
  Utley 4
  Polanco 5
  Howard 3
  Ibanez 7
  Ruiz 2
  Brown 9
  Mayberry 8
  Worley 1

  LET'S GO REDS!!!
• Tiger2003

  

  Good start for the Reds.
• Midstate01

  

  Joey's good. But how many will we give up in the first. I say 2 or less.
• Tiger2003

  

  Cueto off to a good start. 1-2-3.
• Tiger2003

  

  Come get the ball Brown...WTF
• Midstate01

  

  Swung at ball 4. I thought pitch one was inside too. But Owell
