Good to see John Fay getting on board the Cozart bandwagon. If the Enquirer beat reporters keep hounding Walt and Dusty, then maybe we'll see a change at ss. Janish and Renteria just aren't getting the job done.
The Reds still can't beat winning teams this season. See: 2010-2011

Reyes can't get here fast enough to save the Reds from themselves, the leadoff position and SS.

I checked the lineup for this afternoon. Drew Stubbs is batting 6th today.

I think this is a good idea until Stubbs can reduce his strikeouts. What do you think Andy?

I like it. He's got the speed of a leadoff, but not much else. Who is leadoff today? Phillips?


Nevermind. I don't like it at all. Lewis hitting leadoff? That's worse than Stubbs. Give Heisey a shot there, or move Cozart up for the time being and let him hit leadoff for a few games.

Lewis is looking decent in the leadoff and atleast had some patience in his at-bats and drove in the run on the sac-fly.

Stubbs is still 0-2 today but reached on an error and scored on an error

Stubbs has led off 3 innings and without Pena having 3 errors he would be sitting on the bench 3 times. He did not strikeout yet, so maybe its working.

Stubbs in the 6 looks a lot like the leadoff, no patience, no hits. He waited until his 4th AB to strikeout though, but he may have seen 12 pitches total this afternoon.

I like the way Lewis approached the leadoff roll, he had patience, fouled off pitches, and tried to put the ball in play. A few more opportunities to bat there and he could maybe be the right fit. The trade rumors have all but dried up, so this looks to be the team going forward. What say you Dan and Andy?

Worst part of their play recently, the Reds can't score runs against 4 and 5 guys in the Yankees rotation and today they played about the weakest lineup the Yankees can put on the field. No Rodriguez (the reason they even had 2 runs with 3 E's by Pena), no Texeria, no Jeter and they are facing three pitchers that were in Triple-A to start the year. Luckily the weak division is all moving backwards right now

A trade may still happen, but it probably won't be what the fans want to see, as per usual.
At this point I say let's see what Cozart and maybe Alonso can do. LF and SS are killing us offensively this year. Heisey hasn't been bad, but being in a platoon role doesn't help him any.

I wouldn't go that far, but Stubbs needs to sit for a few games and maybe he can get himself together.

Awesome win tonight!

Too bad it wasn't against the Yankees' A team. But a win is a win.

2 for his last 21 and 5 of 30 with 11 K's, he needs a nice long sit. I am not sure he has a 10 game stretch this season that he hasn't struck out atleast 10 times. Maybe a trip to Louisville would teach him some patience. Good news, his STRIKEOUT total for this SEASON has now reached 100, or equal to the same number of WALKS he has in his CAREER.

Good news!

Looks like Renteria is about to get DFA and Cozart being called up. It's not official yet, but Lance and Fay are both reporting it's probably gonna happen today.

Yeah, but I hear the Reds are interested in Ludwick.

Really, I'd like to see one person in LF (Heisey) for at least 7-10 starts in a row.
