April 28, 201016 yr Anyone catch Phillips waving to camera in the dugout after he was picked off of first for being an idiot? :lol:
April 28, 201016 yr Its tough to get runs when your guy at the top of the order can't get on base. How long does Dusty stick with Stubbs?
April 28, 201016 yr Its tough to get runs when your guy at the top of the order can't get on base. How long does Dusty stick with Stubbs? Well considering his track record I'm guessing September. He seems to have an infatuation with leadoff men who can really run......and not get on base. Although they are usually veterans like Patterson, Perez and Taveras.
April 28, 201016 yr Author Harang with 6 IP and 2 ER. Good to see. Safe to say he was due :lol: Good to get the win tonight considering they will face Cy Young in this series.
April 28, 201016 yr Well considering his track record I'm guessing September. He seems to have an infatuation with leadoff men who can really run......and not get on base. Although they are usually veterans like Patterson, Perez and Taveras. Stubbs has really struggled, as has Dickerson. I can't remember the last time the Reds had someone at the top of the order that could get on bases consistently. I guess we'd have to go all the way back to the days of Barry Larkin leading off, or perhaps Bip Roberts. He had one really good year with the Reds from what I can remember. Unfortunately I don't think the Reds have a solution for that problem right now.
April 28, 201016 yr Harang with 6 IP and 2 ER. Good to see. Harang seemed to pitch more inside tonight than he has in the past.
April 28, 201016 yr I agree Stubbs is horrible hitting leadoff but who besides Dickerson can hit there?
April 28, 201016 yr This was only the 11th time in the last decade that the Reds won a game without an extra base hit.

April 28, 201016 yr Author Felipe Paulino is 1-3 with a 5.86 ERA against the Reds, including losing the last three starts against them. Houston went 4-12 against the Reds last season, losing nine of the final 10 meetings. http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/preview;_ylt=AsL2N4N1utPO298vTZx1ChnbzYd4?gid=300428118
April 28, 201016 yr I agree Stubbs is horrible hitting leadoff but who besides Dickerson can hit there? Cabrera?
April 28, 201016 yr Cabrera? Cabrera has actually struck out less times (6) than any of the other everyday starters , but his OBP is less than .300. He is also leading the team in RBI currently, so I think he's better suited hitting elsewhere.
April 28, 201016 yr It's a lot easier to hit 8th than leadoff. Why? You usually see less strikes with the pitcher hitting behind you.
