I think it may be the sun and shadow effect at this time at the park. We shall see though.

What would it take for the REDS to get Stephen Drew. He's ranked about 6th among Shortstops in the Majors in both Fielding (UZR/150) and getting on base (OBP)?

Would love to replace Cabrera with him.

Of all the people on this team the only ones getting benched have less than 4 years service time.

This game is going to be very tough to win by both clubs.

I think there's a tremendous amount of fight in both of these teams.

It's one of those games where it will take the "Stars" to win the game. Average players (like Cabrera) and Victorino won't get it done.

[RedsFanInBama]

Is there something wrong with Cueto's mechanics or does he just seriously lack concentration?

[Kingspoint]

Looks like Bray is going to be seeing the mound tonight.

[cbowen2112]

Looks like the zone is tight tonight

[RedsFanInBama]

Nice job avoiding a potential disaster there.

[Kingspoint]

Current Half Inning (last play on top)

Victorino popped out to shortstop.
Rollins flied out to left.
Kendrick sacrificed to catcher, Valdez to second.
Valdez walked.

Cueto really isnt pitching in the zone at all though. Hes not getting calls but he also isnt that close on a lot of them.

[Kingspoint]

This isn't the inning I see us scoring.

Due Up:
D. Stubbs (.234, 8 hr, 35 rbi),
R. Hernandez (.281, 3 hr, 16 rbi),
J. Cueto (.148, 0 hr, 0 rbi)

I see us getting 2 Runs in the 4th Inning.

I have seen quite a few that should have been called, and others that shouldn't have been strikes called as well. Should be interesting once this ump figures out where he likes them.

If Stubbs gets on base, they need to send him. The Phillies have a bad Catcher behind the plate at throwing out runners.
