the Braves

[collegetrumpet2010]

They've been hanging in there the past couple of weeks. Bats have been coming alive, though Milwaukee sucks. Brooks Conrad has had a pretty impressive batting game the past two nights. Chipper is hurt again ugh.

Bring on the Diamondbacks and then the Mets.

I say leave Hinske in at Left because Cabrera/Diaz are not cutting it. I wish McClouths bat would come around, he is still struggling. Glaus has had some good games the past couple of weeks, which is good to see. I like the lineup

1. Prado
2. Heyward
3. Jones
4. McCann
5. Glaus
6. Hinske
7. Infante/Escobar
8. McClouth

The Reds have won 5 straight, are 4 games over .500, and just swept the Pirates in 3 games in which the Reds outscored the Pirates 19-1 including back-to-back shutouts by Cueto and Bailey.

We are 1 game back of the Cardinals with those same Cards rolling into Cincy for a weekend series.

We can't have a Braves topic or a Reds topic without the other team being mentioned!

I went up to Cincy for my first time this season on Saturday and watched two great wins versus the Cubs. My trip to Cincy may have been what got this team on the right track! :2thumbsup:

I say leave McLouth at the top. His OBP is only 50 points off what it is for his career and his BA isn't going to stay below .200 I dont believe. Now, if Infante is left in the lineup I wouldn't mind leaving him at leadoff and keeping McLouth at the bottom.

1. Infante/McLouth
2. Prado
3. Heyward
4. McCann
5. Chipper
6. Glaus
7. Hinske
8. McLouth/Escobar
