July 14, 201214 yr Author Back to the bench goes Frazier. Long long can he stay with Stubbs where he is? Cozart SS Stubbs CF Votto 1B Phillips 2B Bruce RF Ludwick LF Rolen 3B Mesoraco C (Leake P) I think Dusty wants to see if he can dip below .200
July 14, 201214 yr Was gone all week and didn't get into all the recent Reds convos. Missed out, guess I just didn't want it enough to skip the week away and stay for the chatter.
July 14, 201214 yr As for last night's game: 1. First and foremost I'm happy the Reds pulled out the win. 2. The defense was rough last night, compared to what we are used to seeing. 3. Latos struggled but didn't melt down and allow the game to get out of hand, there is real value in that. 4. Dare I say Simon is pitching well? I was not a fan early on but he has seemed to be doing very well.

Cozart SS Stubbs CF Votto 1B Phillips 2B Bruce RF Ludwick LF Rolen 3B Mesoraco C (Leake P) What was there record with Stubbs & Rolen on the DL? Neither Stubbs or Rolen have earned playing time from the past year and a half. I like the role Rolen had last night.
July 14, 201214 yr Back to the bench goes Frazier. Long long can he stay with Stubbs where he is? Cozart SS Stubbs CF Votto 1B Phillips 2B Bruce RF Ludwick LF Rolen 3B Mesoraco C (Leake P) As predicted and I am sure the reasoning is what I said above. With Westbrook going on Sunday, if Rolen has any success today we might see him again on Sunday. If Rolen goes 0'fer, then my prediction is we see Frazier on Sunday.
July 14, 201214 yr At some point if Rolen is the leader and veteran presence we've been told doesn't he have to ask the manager to use him exclusively to pinch hit and as a late defensive replacement? This is on him as much as Dusty and Walt at this point.

This is on him as much as Dusty and Walt at this point. What? So Rolen should say, "I feel good and you're paying me millions, so let me play 2 innings a night."? You don't get to their level with being competitive as hell and if he isn't retired he thinks he can still contribute. If he can't get it done and it still in the lineup it is on one person and one person only.

He will definitely not get overpowered.

If he can't get it done and it still in the lineup it is on one person and one person only. No. He should say I'm old as hell but I still want my money, but clearly Frazier is a better hitter than me right now so let me know if I can help in any way while Frazier gets a great majority of the starts at third. His veteran presence isn't helping at all if it means Frazier is sitting and not developing right. Or you know he could retire like ome speculated he would at the break. His starting isn't helping.
July 14, 201214 yr Author What the hell is Bruce doing? Costing the Reds a run. He should have been on 3rd to open the inning.
