Hudson has been really good since the trade. With that said, Arroyo going tonight is a great way to start the trip, and the Reds have a distinct pitching match-up advantage in game 2 and game 3. 2 of 3 at minimum in the desert or else this team may be in trouble. The Cardinals have Garcia against Bush tonight, which is hugely favorable to St. Louis, and they have Wainwright going Wednesday at home, where he's untouchable.

Leake is out of the starting rotation for now..... Reds told Leake he's in bullpen for now. "I'd rather go every 5th day. But whatever I can do to help the team."

The Reds are listing their rotation as:

Bronson Arroyo today
Edinson Volquez tomorrow
Travis Wood Thursday
Homer Bailey Friday
Johnny Cueto Saturday
Arroyo Sunday

Makes sense that Leake would go to the bullpen. He has struggled over his past few starts and they need to manage his innings.

I need about 3 more consecutive or like 5 out of 7 very good starts from Homer before I trust him.

I do agree with watching Leake closely and as long as Homer is doing well let him take those starts and innings.

Bronson should have a good game tonight if he can keep from loading the bases in the 4th for like the 3rd straight game.
I see Harang gave up 5 to the Clippers, not so good.

^^This.

You can see how his leg/ankle bended awkwardly. He hit the base and it was very obvious.

A win tonight would be huge with the Cards loss, 2 game lead with 2 more in Arizona.

Game SHOULD be tied right now... but 3 straight his to begin the 6th has it 2-1 w/ Reds having runners on the corners w/ 0 out

Correct.

Got something going here, need to keep swinging at hittable pitches.

Maybe my eyes are going bad tonight but I didn't see any evidence of Stubbs hitting the bag with his foot.
