Back to back starts for Mesoraco, very interesting. First time since April.

Devin is the personal catcher for Leake and Bailey, so it's not unusual that he would be catching tonight. It's the result of switching Bailey and Cueto in the rotation order (due to Cueto's blister).

I would expect Hanigan to catch the next three games, Arroyo, Cueto, Latos.

If Mes catches one of THOSE games, there would be a scoop.

Really, I don't see the Reds changing the catching rotation at all this year. Hanigan catches three guys, Mes two guys.

Next year, different story.

Re: 7.15.12 Cards at Cincy - Sunday night baseball

Added incentive with the Pirates losing earlier today. You have to wonder when teams will start pitching around McCutcheon. He's pretty much all they have. Teams always pitch around Votto. I demand equal treatment .

Frazier missing just proves the Dusty veteran theory. With Ludwick the veteran being hot and Rolen the veteran stating to hit, just leave the kids on the bench. Cozart wouldn't be in there if there was any other option.

Let's sweep.

Rolen's career numbers are fairly good against Westbrook, 4 for 13 (with one walk), .308/.308/.615/.923 with one double and one homer. Now I'm not sure that history does us much good with the present day Scott Rolen, but the record is there. Lets hope he lives up to it.

Rolen's needs to start some but back to back starts tell me that he's going to get the majority of them.I thought is was going to be Frazier after he got the start in game one and hit a HR but I guess I was wrong. Maybe if he had hit two!

Didn't know until now that Cueto has a blister and Homer is starting. That's quite a blow to a sweep. Homer is homer-prone and against the Cardinal offense, that is not good. The Reds must score 6 or 7 tonight to win.

Bruce's regression in RF is extremely disappointing.
