• Big Red Monster

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

  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.
• thavoice

  I dont like 4 game sets for whatever reason.
• Rotinaj

  

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

  

  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.

  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.
• dave

  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.

  Solo HR Scott Rolen 1-0 Reds
• CinciX12

  

  Rolen goes yard!
• CinciX12

  

  And hopefully Jay gets on track after that nice double.
• Rotinaj

  

  Atta boy Bruce!!
• SportsAndLady

  

  Anyone see Bruce flick off the bench lol
  Fricken hilarious
• CinciX12

  

  YES!! Where the hell has this been?
  
  Laynce singles to right and scores Bruce
• osu45804

  

  Bruce double followed by a Nix single.. 2-0 Reds
• CinciX12

  

  Good inning.
  I forgot what runs before the 4th inning looked like.
• Rotinaj

  

  Good inning for middle of the line up. Hopefully the top can get another run or 2 next inning.
• Midstate01

  

  Cueto's stuff looks pretty good tonight... Then he hits uggla.
• SportsAndLady

  

  How did Uggla not go down crying? Dear god he took that off his rib cage lol
• CinciX12

  

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