If I was a betting man, I would take the Reds in games 2 and 3.

Big game tonight to get the series off to a good start, Cueto needs to avoid 20+ pitch innings.

Arroyo draws the short straw again and has to go against the only lefty. I'm hoping the offense wakes up and the Reds take 3 but I'd be satisfied with a split.

Reds take 3. Bruce remembers that its baseball season and decides to show up this series.

I can't wait for this series.

Florida is a good, tough team so it'll be interesting if the Reds can stay competitive against a tough team on the road early in the season.

votto
phillips
rolen
bruce
nix
hernandez
cueto


Pretty typical lineup, easy to argue about it when almost everyone can't hit. I'd give Stubbs a day off and start Dickerson and move Hernandez up a few spots.

I am not a big fan of Laynce Nix at all. I'd much rather see Dickerson or Gomes out there. Nix should only be used as a pinch hitter. But heck it's getting to the point that I don't even want to see him do that. The guy is a horrible situational hitter. He tries to hit a home run every single time, and more often than not he doesn't hit anything.

Same here, I still can't believe Dusty went with the vet over a guy like Balentien just because he's a lefty.

Right when you think he's about to get cut though he will go 2-4 with 2 doubles in the gap.

Wait, I thought you were going to talk about Laynce. Somewhere in there you stopped talking about him and talked about the entire team.

Regradless, we are 10 minutes away from hopefully a 15 run, 22 hit night down in Florida.

Lets go Reds!

I would be tempted to say Hanley is a top 3 player in baseball right now.

Good inning for middle of the line up. Hopefully the top can get another run or 2 next inning.

Can't get a guy down 0-2 and then hit him to put him on.
