May 15, 201412 yr If you play the same lineup in both games, then there is going to be a significant drop in production the second game. I'd imagine a different lineup the 2nd game On what data do you base that statement?
May 15, 201412 yr On what data do you base that statement? None lol, just common sense. In the second game you'll probably see Heisey, Barnhart, Bernedina, and maybe Santiago. I know it's baseball but I'd rather have a lineup full of guys who are 100% rested, than the same lineup where everyone is 75%. Now obviously the important players like Votto, Phillips will still play, but the other guys are subject to change.
May 15, 201412 yr The defense on the catching side this year has also been really good. That throw by Pena was really impressive considering he had to pick it out of the dirt.

I'd imagine a different lineup the 2nd game So, these multi millionaire players can't swing the bat 8 times instead of 4? I call crap on that theory. This is exactly why the Reds are mediocre. No toughness.
May 15, 201412 yr I am really starting to think that there is absolutely no one on this team that is untouchable in a trade, even Mr. Votto. It is now becomming alarming that he is still hitting .260 and not driving any runs in. That contract is starting to look as bad as Homers.

Are you saying it's common sense that production will be down if they play the samel ineup the 2nd game, or common sense they will play a different lineup? If it's the former then I totally disagree.

If it's the former then I totally disagree. I'm saying it's common knowledge that the goal for a double header is you put your best possible team out there as possible, you don't hold anything back and save it for the second game. Now that could mean a different lineup or the worse of the two starters available.

Watchout JB, some of these guys love their Votto and will lose their minds if he is criticized. Even if it is warranted.
May 15, 201412 yr No TV, what's the score and inning right now? 3-0 Reds, 2 outs, bottom 5. Should be noted BP went ya-ya for the 3 runs. Cleaned the bases before Votto lined a single. That darn Votto just isn't driving in runs. :idunno:
