Kelch and Flynn will be calling today's action.
Reds' beginning the year with 11 pitchers and 14 position players per Baker. No new news there. Sean Marshall will get first crack at being the closer.

Cozart pops to right. Cozart is slumping to end ST.
Votto lines hard to left. He seems more than ready.
Phillips attempts to pilfer second base and is caught Reds'-handed. =)

Rolen's bat is smoking as he rips a double to right.
Bruce flies deep enough to move Rolen along.
A Heisey sac fly gives the Reds the lead.
Stubbs sends one over the wall, on one bounce, and settles in at second.
(Dusty says that if Cueto has a short outing on Opening Day they would probably bring up another pitcher by game two.)
(Rotation will be Cueto, Latos, Arroyo, Bailey and Leake) Reds just might have the best #5 in baseball.)
Willie Harris celebrates making the club by striking out.
1-0. Reds.

Cunningham with a solid single to center.
(Bray not far enough along to pitch the 8th, but he can pitch the 7th. Only in DustyWorld.)
Hannahan retired on a shallow fly ball.
1-0. Reds.

Heisey flies out the other way.
Stubbs with his second hit of the game, a grounder up the middle. Getting hot at the right time.
(I am jealous of everyone getting to see that Future's Game.)

Willie Harris celebrates making the team by lifting a can of corn to center field for the second out.

Substitutes galore. Cairo at first. Slidin' Billy Hamilton at second. Valdez at short. David Vidal at third. Ludwick, Lamarre and Frazier in the outfield from left to right. Mesoraco catching.
I like this lineup so much that I posted it twice.

Bad-hop single past Cairo at first. Correction. Error on Miguel.
Ludwick battles the elements to record the first out on a fly ball off the bat of Duncan.
Pop to foul territory down the right side eludes Cairo. Another life for the Indians' hitter.
He doesn't take advantage, sending a lazy fly ball to center.
Another first-pitch swings sends a fly to LaMarre to end the home half of the sixth.
1-1.
