Nationals at Reds (3/29-4/1)

[UKMustangFan]

I thought that Garrett was in line to make that start?

 

He was in line to be the 5th starter when needed until Finnegan was ready. With Iglesias gone for the first 3 days, and the Nationals & Cubs being so left-handed, they wanted to keep him in the bullpen for the first two series.

Wonder why the change in the lineup.

[UKMustangFan]

I'm shocked. Price actually is putting out a solidly arranged lineup.

So was the other one actually ever official, or just a speculated lineup?

What other one? This is the only one I saw.

[HammerTime]

I’m shocked, but that’s the right way to do it. I wonder why it was Duvall who was out.

I saw one listed on the Reds website on Wednesday.

[Jack of all Trades]

I’m shocked, but that’s the right way to do it. I wonder why it was Duvall who was out.

 

Cutting down on his strikeout total? I for one am hoping that Hamilton is on a very short leash.

[plantmanky]

Are they getting the game in today?

My assumption is trying to get as many LH bats in the lineup as possible against Scherzer.

I think this pretty much answers the question about who will leadoff when Winker plays. It's a start...

[MJAlltheWay24]

Yes

[TheDeuce]

I could go on our work tickets had the game still been Thursday. But now that it is Friday, and last day of the month, no one in the company can go.

 

What a tragedy!

Smells like a platoon for Duvall. If he sits tomorrow against Strasburg and starts against Gio on SUN, gonna smell a lot more like it. If you're trying a 4 person OF rotation, Duvall plays against all LHPs and occasionally against a RHP. Hamilton is anemic from both sides but has speed & defense.

 

Maybe the rotation will include pinch run and defensive replacement innings for Hamilton?
