If Volquez doesn't pitch well tonight, something has to be done.

Since Volquez is pitching, I'm guessing the Reds are hoping for another seven-run inning to give them a good chance for victory.

Hopefully we'll see a solid outing from EV. God knows he needs it!

I'm looking at this as a good night to hang out with my friend who's a big Reds fan. Since Volquez is pitching, I know that beer will be being going down quickly at his place, which means that we'll be having fun regardless.

It sucks have zero confidence when your Opening Day starter is taking the hill for a game. At least the offense is firing on all cylinders at the moment.

I just hope the reds dont get shutout and run ruled three straight times by the tribe.

You cannot stop the indians, you can only hope to contain them

Who the hell is tomlin??

I think it's funny how Indians fans talked about how bad they were gonna be, how bad the management was, when they'd trade choo. Now they all changed their minds

Josh Tomlin is 5-1 with an ERA of 2.56. Who the fuck is Homer Bailey? A career 19-16 P with a 4.90 ERA?

Mike Leake started his career at 7-0...lets not crown Tomlin Cy Young just yet.

The future in Cleveland is bright no doubt. Since the clippers are doing very well too.

Ive been sticking up for the Indians is all. Tired of some of the Reds fans saying the Indians arent as good as their record. Earlier I stated that MLB is a better place and Ohio is greater place when both the Reds and Indians are playing well.

No one is saying the Indians aren't as good as their record...simply, having a good record not even 25% of the way through the season does not equal being good.

I suppose anything can happen (hell, the Reds last year are sort of a testament to that in MLB), but when 99% of the fans of a team were debating over whether they would lose 100+ games, it's tough to be sold on them being 12 over .500 after 38 games. I think that's what most people mean by their comments, not just to bash Cleveland. The same can be said about teams every year. It's definitely a testament to parity in MLB when you have every team but 4 within 8 games of .500 either way.

I predicted they would win 76 games. Does this mean I am not supposed to be happy they have the best record in MLB? As far as how good they really are? We can only go on their record vs the teams they have played so far. I'll take it.
