Reds @ Braves 5/4
Posted: Sun May 4, 2008 5:10 am
Reds 12-19 vs. Braves 14-15
First Pitch: Sun, May 4 1:35 pm EDT
Probable Pitchers:
Reds: Arroyo
Braves: Glavine
Team Report:
Manager Dusty Baker said the off-day Thursday was a blessing after 16 straight days of playing, "Especially when you're losing and trying to figure things out. I don't sleep well when we're losing. I try sleep but something won't let me sleep while I try to figure things out."
Baker said he has used up pens and a tree's worth of paper trying to figure a batting order/lineup.
"I'd like to move first baseman Joey Votto up in the order from seventh but I have to be careful about stacking left-handers," he said. "So do I leave Votto alone? He's going to be up there soon. He'll be a fifth hitter. Man, he works hard, keeps his mouth shut and is very respectful."

Once again we are facing a sweep as the offense continues to fail Reds fans.
