PRINCE

Prince keeps it rolling. Wow.

And honestly, I really don't think it matters where Braun hits, I think he's fully capable of .330+ anywhere in the lineup.

[giffted1]

Geoff!!! It's that time of the year again.

[SlideBernieSlide]

Good Line-up!

[cruiserx43]

Recap/Cliff's Notes for those of us without access to the game on TV/radio?

 

Ned said it was to evenly disperse the team speed, break up the lefty/righties as suggested here, and moving Hardy's hot bat up to the 2 hole. There was more to it, but trying to recall from about 30 minutes ago.

[brettac1]

Man, this lineup sucks now.

[phatmatt1215]

WHAT A GREAT FIRST INNING!!!!!

 

Come on Cappy... Don't give any back, please.

[jlau20]

Speaking of keeping it rolling, Jenkins is heating up.

 

Maybe seeing the pregame ceremony for the '82 team will play atleast a tiny part in getting these guys to realize, they have the potential this year and probably in the next few years to be deserving of their own ceremony down the road.

[cruiserx43]

Hopefully this lineup will be able to consistently produce runs after the 2nd inning.

[phatmatt1215]

4-0 Cincinnati

[Brewcrewin07]

4-0 Reds now, they have 9 hits against Zambrano thru 3 2/3. Can anyone say implosion for the head case?? This is his 2nd straight poor start.

[glassjawed]

I won't call Zambrano an implosion just yet. We need a poor SERIES that leads into another poor start by Zambrano.

 

Jenkins swing was money in the first inning!

[SlideBernieSlide]

Don't give these right back Cappy. Things seem to snowball on Chris nowadays

 

 

Edit: Right after I type that Yadier hits into an Estrada-esque DP. Very Nice

[brewcrewfan08]

God why did we have to change the lineup up, i mean we only got three runs in the first inning.http://static.yuku.com/v2//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/tongue.gif

[Trowekamp]

A couple of notes:

 

One catchers are slow, hence Molina's DP, so I get frustrated with Estrada as well Estrada / Miller is light years ahead of Miller / Moeller.

 

Two, for people complaining about the lineup, what would they say if Yost batted Capuano 8th? They would want to lynch him...

 

His faith in Hardy at the beginning of the year and in Braun and Hart in June paid off so let's give the lineup a couple of games. I personally don't think he changes the lineup all that much..

[phatmatt1215]

4-2 Cincinnati

[TheMCG]

5-2, mein freund.

[TheMCG]

Let's not give it all back Cappy, buckle down.

[AdvantageSchneider]

Is Rickie using a different bat than he was using earlier in the year? It seems to have a lighter finish.

[TheMCG]

I really could do without Capuano on this team.

[JoeH33]

How does Cappy get that much of the plate on a 1-2 pitch!? Sheesh

[PeaveyFury]

Cappy used to know how to pitch well. Not sure what the heck his problem is this year.

[SlideBernieSlide]

UGH. What an awful 1-2 pitch. Come on, now Cappy

[TeeJayh1980]

Is Rickie using a different bat than he was using earlier in the year? It seems to have a lighter finish.

 

My Dad just mentioned that on the phone....said Rickies bat is different.

[SlideBernieSlide]

Yeah Weeks is using a maple bat now. The Houston broadcasters were talking about that over the weekend.
