Will be interesting to see who Dusty has catch Bailey. I'm guessing Hanigan because there is a day game on Wednesday, and Hanigan will for sure catch Cueto, so likely Mesoraco/Leake tomorrow night.
Heisey in CF tomorrow night? Could see a Ludwick/Heisey OF, Stubbs is 2 for 10 with 3 K's to start the season.
Big series with STL with another one at their place next week. Missing Cris Carpenter (out until at least May) is advantage Reds. Heck, I think the whole series of match-ups is advantage Reds (Leake vs Lohse, Cueto vs Garcia).

Tough 3 series coming up, need to get off to a good start in this one. So far the Reds have gotten next to nothing out of the cleanup spot and the bottom of the order. Hopefully they can pick it up.

I'm very optimistic about Bailey for tonight. Not sure why...but I think he's going to have a solid outing.
The team has some momentum after the walk-off yesterday. Hopefully that momentum will carry over to this series.
Even if Bailey can't get it done tonight, having Leake and Cueto as the next two pitchers for this series is pretty exciting to me.

Bailey is gonna have a big year, I've been saying this all offseason...I have no reason for thinking this, just a prediction I guess.

He doesn't have it. I'll be shocked if he has a big year.

And Bruce is going 2 add another tonight. I think this game is going 2 be semi high scoring. I really hope bailey can turn a corner this season but I'm not very optimistic. 8-6 reds.

I would really prefer Bruce behind Votto, though I know it isn't Dusty's thing. Let's be honest, Scott Rolen doesn't scare anyone.

I think Rolen still gets plenty of respect at the plate. And with Bruce mashing the ball he will see even better pitches.

You can't hit Votto and Bruce back to back. Both hit lefties pretty well, especially Votto, but you can't hit them back to back as the only lefties in the lineup.
Bottom line, if Rolen isn't "scaring someone", the Reds aren't going anywhere anyway.

Bailey can find a seat on the bench...this is ridiculous. It's not like they are pitching against Pujols.

Bailey is in mid-season form... How he still has a spot in the rotation is beyond me

Homer consistently getting his fastball over the plate, then the Cards are consistently hitting it over the wall.
