1. Hairston at SS.

2. More ABs for Green at 3B.

3. Get Weeks back.

I'd get pretty excited.

That sounds like a pretty mean lineup. I like it.

We might have bad K-Rod today.

[pretendastronaut]

Heck of a game for Marcum today. Let's make sure he gets a W today finally boys.

[markedman5]

No reason to have pulled Marcum at 99 pitches

[davego]

I didn't mind Marcum coming out. A few less pitches now may give him a few more in October.

No reason to have pulled Marcum at 99 pitches

Agreed but really no reason not to. You have your top 4 relievers all rested.

It's also a holiday weekend. I've been either watching or listening to the whole game but also doing other things.

 

Come on, Reds. Still 2-2 in the 8th in the STL.

[davego]

Gomez and YB must be trading bunting tips again.

[sdcheezhd]

Has Gomez gotten a bunt down yet this year? Isn't that something he ought to be good at?

[markedman5]

Another at bat another line drive for Green.........

[Raw Biz]

They better be thinking about at least platooning Green with McGehee next year.

[umphrey]

Taylor Green is the greatest man alive

[hawing]

There's that #5 guy again! I hope RRR doesn't just chalk up Taylor's success to date as being Astros induced.

[rluzinski]

Can Green get two starts a week against righty starters please?

[pretendastronaut]

Who is this Taylor Green guy? You'd think we'd have heard of him before.

[davego]

I have Taylor Green Fever.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Taylor Green with yet another hit, hang his HOF plaque now.

[owbc]

He's the Green Machine, thanks for the nickname, Bill.

[Bernman23]

Even beyond starting 4 for 8 w/ 2 doubles, the most impressing aspects of Green's performance are he has yet to swing and miss at a pitch and generally refrains from offering at balls. Statistically and scouting-wise, he looks like the real deal right now.

[GamelToe]

They better be thinking about at least platooning Green with McGehee next year.

My guess: McGehee moves to 1B.

[igor67]

Predicted RR logic: Can't start Green he's proven himself to be too valuable off the bench.

 

Possibly more impressive a 4 game hit streak to start his career with 3 of them being pinch hit opportunities only.

[PrinceEatMeat]

They better be thinking about at least platooning Green with McGehee next year.

My guess: McGehee moves to 1B.

Yep, I'm starting to think that too. I wouldn't mind it. McGehee would likely look better defensively at 1B than he does at 3B. Either that or he platoons with Gamel at 1B.

[Raw Biz]

They better be thinking about at least platooning Green with McGehee next year.

My guess: McGehee moves to 1B.

That would be awful. McGehee does not have the offense to justify playing 1st. I'd start Gamel/Green at 1st and 3rd and use McGehee occasionally at each spot.

The chat room is working (and I'm back from running an errand), in case you want to enjoy the bottom of the 9th with someone else.
