I guess Pete has figured out that Ross isn't going to hit.
Cabrera has an OPS of over 1.300 vs. LHP this season.
It's been raining very hard. Could be a delay.

How many hits do y'all think Livingston'll get today? I think it'll be a rough day for him, so I'll say he'll go two-for-three with a double.

Anyone else think the lack of an advance scout might be why theyre having so much trouble with Kim?

Encarnacion just threw out Miggy at the tail end of a "dive/throw from knees" highlight reel effort. Ridiculous.

Freel's 10-pitch at-bat last time up is the best the REDS have done against Kim so far through 3 pefect innings. Freel's picked up his offense lately, so look for him to start a good inning for the REDS here.

3 pitches is better than 1-pitch outs, I guess.
Let's get on base and make Kim pitch from the stretch.

Nice job, Junior.
Seeing him in a REDS' uniform still seems surreal. He's such a pleasure to watch play the game. That assist the other night was awesome.
