Off days, although one day, make it seem like the team goes a week between games. Talking about them during that time on these forums only makes it longer.
win-hungry Reds roll through this one. 9-2 Leake pitches 7 innings.

Have not heard, Jamie Ramsey of the Reds is the one who tweeted the change.

Happ P
Phillips (2.139 OPS) and Votto (.962 OPS) have had some success against Happ in small sample sizes, while Bruce is hitless against him in six ABs. OTOH, Johnson has a 1.694 OPS against Leake for his career.
Re: Reds vs. Astros Friday 6/1
Ludwick does hit a lot of fly balls to left and the Crawford Boxes are about 20 feet behind shortstop.

Yeah, Heisey isn't very good at hitting fly balls to left??
Re: Reds vs. Astros Friday 6/1
Heisey is the hottest hitter on the team and he has the third highest batting average. Dusty Baker's loyalty to suck is amazing. I know, we gotta get Ludwick some bats so he gets out of his season long slump. Sit Drew Stubbs for crying out loud.

Reds might need shades tonight...Astros going retro with some Bright uni's...
Re: Reds vs. Astros Friday 6/1
It is a hot Houston day, but cooling temperatures should prevail in the evening. I predict the Reds to struggle for runs tonight, blow out the Stros on Saturday and fight in a close one on Sunday.
Predictions:
Friday: loss 2-5
Saturday: win 7-2
Sunday: win 6-4

Re: Reds vs. Astros Friday 6/1
That 5-3 might be a good call. I am a little shaky on tonight. I do think the Reds are going to score some runs with the nice humidity. Having said that the Astros play very well at home.
