Reds at Indians...Game 2

• Ironman92

  

  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

  I say JC lays an egg and gives up a whole 2 runs today.
  and the reds lose

  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....

  Reds last 17 games...only 4x have they scored 4 runs, in the entire game
• Ironman92

  

  Of the 139 fastest pitches this season....Aroldis Chapman has thrown 136 of them.
• Ironman92

  

  Came close to what I had hoped
  
  
• Ironman92

  

  No Meso is assinine but because Cueto has to have Pena catching

• wildcats20

  Come over to the good side oh wise one.
• Ironman92

  

  I think this game is LONG from over. We might still lose by 3

  Cozy was about a foot away from leaving the yard.
  
  Damn. What a play by Kipnis.
• Ironman92

  

  Goodness....I know it's just 1 game but this is the worst defense I've seen all year. Terrible and appreciated

  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
