Re: 4.25.12 Giants @ Reds
I'm not concerned about Cozart, he has played in every game this year. He has to get a day off at some point.
Re: 4.25.12 Giants @ Reds
The Reds tend to tee off against Zito. I hope tonight is no different. I predict big games by Phillips and Bruce.
Re: 4.25.12 Giants @ Reds
Might want to bring your raincoats if you are coming down to GABP. I hope we can get this one in.

Day off for Cozart. Stubbs is hitting .500 of Zito, Valdez .300. #reds

Not a good forecast for tonight. I do think they get this in with just possible delays as the steadier rain is supposed to happen more overnight.

Tonight: Showers and thunderstorms, mainly before 4am. Low around 58. South wind around 7 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New rainfall amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible.
Re: 4.25.12 Giants @ Reds
Cozart did miss a start earlier, but was brought in as a pinch hitter and late inning defensive replacement. Personally, I'd go ahead and play him while he is semi-hot at the plate. But, that's why I don't get paid the big bucks.

Central Updates (since everybody else has finished)
Pirates 1, Rockies 2 Game 1
Pirates 5, Rockies 1 Game 2 (rain out make up game)
Astros 7, Brewers 5
Cards 5, Cubs 1
Okay, seriously...this is beyond annoying. Lance Lynn...a freaking nobody...4-0 with a 1.33 era now. It seems like every year the Cards have some scrub come up like this. The old excuse was their "magic" pitching coach. Well, he's gone and the crud keeps happening. He's been not much more than a Matt Maloney or a Sam LeCure as a minor league starter...and now this. *sigh* Okay, I'm done. /venting

“It’s not really a day (off),” Baker said. “It’s a day against a softer throw. Most young guys aren’t crazy about soft throwers — old guys either. I believe in playing everybody. Valdez has had good success against (Barry) Zito, so has Stubbs.”
Re: 4.25.12 Giants @ Reds
One on, one out for the Giants. Melky Cabrera single.
Re: 4.25.12 Giants @ Reds
I'm sure all of Wilson Valdez's recent appearances against Zito will help him.
(He hasn't faced him since 2007).
Dusty, it's fine to give a guy a day off. Just don't lie.

Re: 4.25.12 Giants @ Reds
Posey up. Playing first tonight.
Stolen base for Cabrera.
Re: 4.25.12 Giants @ Reds
Long at bat for Posey. Grounds out to Rolen. Nothing for the Giants.
