If Latos shuts down the Marlins on Saturday you almost have to feel sorry for Arroyo on Sunday. The Marlins are gonna hit sometime. Let's hope it is after they leave town.

Let me clarify. When Stubbs is making contact regularly, his talent level is "off the charts". Of course, at this point in his career, "when" and "if" are the two most used words when talking about Drew Stubbs. Hopefully, once again, this is the year he gets it all together.

Well, I can definitely agree with this. When Stubbs gets into one of his hitting zones he is a very valuable player. When he is in a slump it can get ugly. Hopefully, as he gains experience, the hot streaks will outweigh the cold streaks.

Congratulations to the Reds for beating the same sorry-ass team the Cards beat yesterday.

Looking forward to a great race in the Central Division. See you on Monday.

Re: Reds vs. Marlins Thursday 4/5 - OPENING DAY!!!

Great opening game today. Cueto was solid, and the back end of the bullpen looked filthy. That slider Chapman threw to Reyes was one of the nastiest pitches Ive seen. Now if only Latos can carry this momentum. GO REDS!!!
