Don't have to worry about leg press when the ball goes over the wall.

Forget the batting order, there aren't very good options with a tough lefty. None of the righty hitters for the Reds are hot.

Just want to comment that it's a tribute to the Reds' pitching depth that with Latos out, and Bailey and Arroyo coming off subpar outings, Johnny Cueto is there to pitch tonight.

And with plenty of backup. Looking for Johnny to win a relatively low scoring game.

Go Reds!

I guarantee this will not happen.

Getting swept in the final series by PIT was the plan. The Reds were lulling them into a false sense of security so they can pummel them tonight. The Reds have the 'rats right where they want them!

Only if the Pirates steal Hamilton first. ;)

I was pretty even as far as my excitement/mood went most of the day but I find the nerves/anticipation creeping up on me.

Come on 8:07!

That would be a very safe bet to make. I don't think you can find anyone to take it.

Tonight's lineup:

Choo CF
Ludwick LF
Votto 1B
Phillips 2B
Bruce RF
Frazier 3B
Cozart SS
Hanigan C
Cueto P

Agree, and it wouldn't be fair if I did.

Hope Cueto has it tonight. If Reds ahead I expect two innings from Chapman.

Need the RH bats to get hot for tonight.

Go Reds!

Assuming we're having a separate pool for who wins swag tonight? Over/under on swag factor for each team?

I don't know, I bet Hamilton is so good he could steal a base when the Reds aren't batting.
