Reds begin a 3 game series at home against the Phillies tonight.

 

Phillips 2B

Votto 1B

Frazier 3B

Bruce RF

Cozart SS

De Jesus LF

Barnhart C

Leake P

Hamilton CF

Hamels v. Leake again tonight -- last matchup was a quick game. Leake exited with 2-0 lead and I think the Reds 'pen blew it.

Good to see DeJesus getting an opportunity in the outfield.

Lineup posted in #LouBats clubhouse in Columbus has Bourgeois leading off in CF, Mesoraco batting 3rd in LF. @louisvilleBats @Reds

Cozart hitting 5th tonight against Cole Hamels. Sounds good.

Right, and I am an idiot for suggesting Mesoraco can play left field. It has been a good couple days for "dumb old VOR", between this and my prediction that Dellavedova could give Curry trouble. But a few of you can keep on feeling sorry for me if you want.

I'm with you VOR on Meso. Lot's of folks weren't fond of me trying to move him to 1st base or LF.

I'm with you on Meso. There is no reason he can't figure out LF. He's a pretty athletic guy.

When did I say Meso couldn't play LF? You thinking Price is the perfect fit to be Reds manager doesn't tend to make people think you have dementia though.

Reds tied at 3 bottom of 5.

So, VOR is 1 for 30. :clap:

Funny, I re-read this thread:

and I don't see VOR saying he should be in LF at all. I see everyone else saying though.

Leake ain't fooling Phils like last outing.

Leake gets out of big jam in the 6th. Still tied at 3.

Ivan DeJesus! First Big League HR. He has had some good at bats tonight versus Hamels. The kid earned his shot.
