He hit's like yesterday and he'd own #2

They sure seem to want him near the top.
The plus is what occurs at 5-7.

Winn is hitting .345/.413/.564 over his last 63 PA, so I think moving him up and also getting Contreras into the middle of the order was a move that needed to happen.

Jose Barrero sighting

hope he does really well

And when Herrera comes back if he’s not slow to getting back up to game speed and he DHs putting burleson out of the lineup the offense could get really good

[82birds]

Might have to dodge some rain today wind is blowing out to LF around 25mph per hour

would love to HR from each of Walker and Barrero

[rockondlouie]

Thx Duce

Baker at DH

0 HR
0 --not even one lousy RBI
.231 .333 .269 .603

DFA or Memphis when Hererra is activated (and becomes the FT DH)

Who is getting one of their last MLB Cardinals start when Herrera
returns,

Pozo or Baker?

Gotta be Baker.

3 C's vs 3 1B/DH.

Assuming Herrera's bone bruise is good, I think
Pozo is the guy since one of the goals is for him to C.

Cards knocked Alexis Diaz to AAA. Reds send down their former All-star closer to AAA today. And they are calling up a guy named Luis Mey on May 1st.

if he pitches today...is it Mey Day?

Mey-be
If not , Reds mey go with Fred Flowers. .. for April showers often brings Mey/Flowers… and Cincy sure been getting April rain the past few days.

...Absolutely..! Also Mayday (for socialist supporters) and Mai Tai Day for those who enjoy those. But it will be "Nay-day" for the Reds in this game (hopefully).

Agree.
I see the appeal of wanting him at or near the top. To this point it's been a round peg square hole.
We'll see. He can't be average or less there though.
1-5 looks like a preference lineup of the Oli/FO group. They might shuffle the 1-5 but they're the group
unless Herrera pushes in.

[sikeston bulldog2]

There may be lightning or rain delay late in game, say 1:30 ish. Just in time for the pen.

[craviduce]

looks like a thin line of fast moving storms entering the greater Cincy area.........unfortunately, those are usually the most damaging type of storms packed with ferocious winds amongst other things.

Hopefully, this line will peter out and only bring rain for a brief moment

I would keep baker and send burly down when Herrera comes back. Baker is on the team to hit left handers that’s his sole purpose hes hitting .280 .419 OBP .779 OPS against them and .250 .455OBP .830 OPS coming off the bench. You may not like his limited role but he is doing it well. Burly isn’t doing his job In a much larger role. If burly stays he plays with oli if baker stays his play is very limited and he does it well
