    4/6/6 Game Thread vs Pirates (Welcome Home Casey)

    Thursday, April 6 7:10 PM ET
    PIT Ian Snell, RHP (0-0, -.--)
    Pirates (0-2)
    CIN Brandon Claussen, LHP (0-0, -.--)
    Reds (1-1)

    Scouting Report:
    Snell (1-2, 5.14 ERA in 2005) posted a 58-20 record in the Minor Leagues and will look to make the most of his first opportunity to start regularly in the big leagues. The right-hander has gone 1-3 with a 7.45 ERA in six starts with the Pirates. In his only career outing against the Brewers, Snell was charged with five runs in one inning.

    Last season was Claussen's (10-11, 4.21 ERA in 2005) first full year in the Cincinnati rotation. He established career highs in every statisical category and was the staff's second-most consistent starter behind Aaron Harang. The lefty was 2-0 with a 1.74 ERA in three games against the Pirates in 2005.

    Possibly the earliest start to a game thread ever.
    Hugs, smiling, and interactive Twitter accounts, don't mean winning baseball. Until this community understands that we are cursed to relive the madness.

    I'm hoping for a Reds win against the Pirates.

    Nice that Casey is coming back to Cincinnati, but in all honesty, I could care less. Players change teams all the time. He's a great guy off the field, but I won't miss him on the field. We need to move on to a different model at 1B, and hopefully, sometime down the road, we will.

    So far, so good... 2 HRs & 6 RBIs from the 1st-base spot in two games for the REDS.

    Aw come on, Red, that was kind of mean.

    Case was here for 8 years and was extremely popular. I don't think saying "welcome home" is not moving on; it's just being nice to a deserving guy who still loves Cincinnati. It has nothing to do with how well (or not) he played lB.

    I have no problems at all with people loving Sean Casey. He is a very, very great guy. I wish there were hundreds more like him in MLB. I just don't think there's a reason for people to beat themselves up over him being gone, like there's no way the Reds will ever win again without him in the field, or in the clubhouse. There are some people that think that way, and it bothers me. Sean Casey was not the savior of the Reds on the field. That's all I'm saying. Not meant to disrespect Casey at all.

    I'm watching the weather closely. I'm leaving here about 3:30 and I really want to see Casey's return.

    It looks like it's for sure going to pour rain, but from the look of the radar, it might clear out and be gone by gametime.

    I hope so anyway.

    The forecast for tomorrow night is not good either so it may be a long couple of nights.
