Hairston in for Chris Dickerson with a lefty on the mound. Looks like Hanigan may be Arroyo's regular catcher, 2-for-2 so far.

Extra working going on as we speak. Looks like pretty much all of the regulars were here.

Well apparently Dusty must read Redszone, since he's got Janish and Hanigan playing tonight!

Now if we could just get him to get rid of McDonald

[AmarilloRed]

I thought McDonald was only here until Taveras got healthy. Taveras is healthy now, so there must be another reason.

[chicoruiz]

Bad news: Prince Fielder loves him some Bronson Arroyo; career 9 for 26 with 3 homers.

Counsell also hits Bronson well; career .368.

Bill Hall, on the other hand, is 2 for 16 with 11 k's. And Rickie Weeks is 1 for 20 with 10 k's.

No Red has faced Parra enough to have meaningful stats against him.

[_Sir_Charles_]

I thought McDonald was only here until Taveras got healthy. Taveras is healthy now, so there must be another reason.

I thought it was because he was so darned good during ST. Gomes started out well, but really struggled towards the end. Darnell was pretty darned good throughout. And he's a MUCH better defender and faster.

[HokieRed]

Dusty should read RZ a little more; we might also see Adam Rosales over JHJ.

[NC Reds]

Quick, get Dusty a toothpick. I almost didn't recognize him.

Parra looks a tad wild early.

[NC Reds]

This just in: Votto is really good.

[OnBaseMachine]

Votto RBI double! 1-0 Reds.

[membengal]

Joey Votto. Full grown man.

[Screwball]

Dude, Votto's a beast. He doubles to the RCF gap to bring home Hairston.

1-0 Reds with 1 out.

[Degenerate39]

Chat is open!

[OnBaseMachine]

Very ugly swing by Bruce on 0-1. The pitch before that was just above the ankles for a called strike.

[Screwball]

Man, Bruce is up there a-hackin'. He chases one in the dirt and another one up and away to pop out.

Still, 1-0 Reds in the middle of 1.
