Post a Comment*John, are they going to play? It's cooooooooooooold!
I think they are. The problem is it's not supposed to be any warmer tomorrow. Can't really bang the whole series.
Seems like Narron is sticking with the plan of never using the same line-up. I would hate that as a player.
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't tonight the same lineup as Wednesday? I assume Narron is using two different batting orders depending on whether or not they're facing a right handed starting pitcher or a left handed one.
I bet the guys on the bench like that he doesn't just pencil in the same 8. And changing where 2,3,4 and 5 are because of who's pitching is not that big a deal.
Connine deserves a start. He's gonna make everyone forget about (damn I forgot his name). Aurilia, at least at the plate.

I'm in Dayton. Is it snowing there at Great American?
Dunn in the 2 spot seemed a little unnatural. I know he's trying to split up him and Griffey but maybe him in the 5 slot and griffey in the 3?
Three things: 1) It is the same lineup as Wednesday. Narron's using a set lineup so far against right-handers and a set one against lefties; 2) It's not snowing -- other than a few small flakes; 3) Ross has struggled but he has a total of 7 ABs. Encarnacion is 2-for-9. But one of his two hits was a two-out, RBI single yesterday. He also walked right before Hatteberg's home run yesterday.
Do they have heaters under the bench, like football teams do?
Maybe they need to rent the Bengals heaters.
