The irony is
the difference in this game has been a line-up decision probably made by Yost based on some stat crunching. Batting Kendall 9

Seriously though
That stuff only makes sense in aggregate. Looking just at the numbers is pretty much meaningless unless you study them ALL THE TIME. There will be some great new discovers about strategy from this stuff in the not too distant future.

kinda obvious how this one is playing out, right?
Reds steal Brewers' closer. First meeting of the new season, the Brewers' new closer blows it in the ninth. Karma, plus the fact that the new closer is Gagne, makes this seem probable.
IT'S GONNA SMACK YOU RIGHT IN THE FACE.

I don't really disagree with that move
Votto struggles against lefties and Shouse murderizes them.
But still, its Norris Hopper.
haha dilweed haha.
ROBBED
SO, WHAT DOES THIS MEAN HERE? KEPPINGER TO FIRST, CASTRO IN? EDWIN OUT? FREEL IN AT THIRD, WITH PITCHER BATTING IN EDWIN'S SPOT? HOPPER IN LEFT FOR DUNN?
I thought Narron took the book with him
when he got fired last year.
God
Dusty if you're going to PH for Votto, at least make it someone who can get it out of the infield.

castro for hamilton, or hopper for votto?

the reds have their secret weapon of Josh Fogg tomorow. After seeing nothing but hard fastballs and breaking balls, Fogg will be great at 48 MPH.

But according to Chris Welsh,
after Cueto's 96 mph fastball, Fogg's 48 mph fastball will seem like 28. And you don't even want to know what that makes his changeup.
Josh Fogg once hit a bird with a pitch
And the ball exploded.

i guess im a little settled down now
hopper is a career .385/.421/.489 vs. lefties. It's only 149 plate appearances, but it is good. i guess my gut reaction of "Hopper for Votto? Noooooooooooo
is a little shortsighted

i still say too small sample size, especialy with bases loaded

i was also not miffed by that move
but it did point up our problems with righty bats off the bench. G and C were seriously talking bunt with bases loaded, which is kinda sad.

Question
If Hatteberg's in at first now, why not just hit him for Votto initially? Lefty matchups, right, but Norris had no business being there.
Serious lefty issues
as in Hatteberg can't hit 'em and Shouse shuts 'em down

Still..
You want a guy who can hit it out of the infield there. If no one was on base you can pinch hit there.
You need to show up for our "The Reply button and you" seminar tomorrow in the Conference Room #23B at 8:30 am
Coffee and donuts will be provided.
