LRCW Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Throw everything out the window I said earlier about the Reds making the playoffs. Dusty is already at it with his lineups. I am being nice when I say I can't stand him as a manager. Stubbs had a great spring, finishing really strong, and lead the team in HR's. He'll be riding the bench tomorrow. I guess Nix'x 1-8 career stats against Carpenter were just too good to leave out of tomorrow's lineup. For the record Stubbs is 1-3 in his brief career against Carpenter. Here is your Opening Day Lineup for tomorrow. 21 Chris Dickerson CF 2 Orlando Cabrera SS 19 Joey Votto 1B 4 Brandon Phillips 2B 27 Scott Rolen 3B 32 Jay Bruce RF 17 Laynce Nix LF 55 Ramon Hernandez C 39 Aaron Harang RHP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint4 Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Stubbs should really be starting, but I guess Dusty is playing the lefty vs righty matchup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRCW Posted April 4, 2010 Author Share Posted April 4, 2010 Just play your best players. It's really not that hard to figure out. He has to try and over analyze everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scribe Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 I think Reds fans are starting to see why us Cub fans were happy to see him go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRCW Posted April 4, 2010 Author Share Posted April 4, 2010 I think Reds fans are starting to see why us Cub fans were happy to see him go. I obviously never paid much attention to the lineups or moves he made as a Cubs manager. What were some of the lineup decisions he made as Cubs manager that drove people crazy?

The Scribe Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Neifi Perez for one. He always seemed to have a favorite veteran or two that he plugged in the lineup ahead of a young up-and-comer . And of course, Corey Patterson hitting leadoff in both Chicago and Cincinnati. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Anthony Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Dusty seems like a nice man but a very average coach. Really thought he over worked Bailey last year down the stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westsider Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Nix is Dusty's newest fetish ... following in the footsteps of Lenny Harris, Neifi Perez, Jose Macias and Corey Patterson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scribe Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Ah yes. I forgot about Macias. Dusty never did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
