Stubbs 8
Philips 4
Votto 3
Rolen 5
Gomes 7
Bruce 9
Hanigan 2
Janish 6
Arroyo 1

Kinda surprised to see Rolen back in there this afternoon even though they are off tomorrow. Day after night and it is chilly.

Surprised as well, but its probably good. Wolf is the kind of cagey vet that might make Francisco look bad. Save JFs starts for the hard throwers who haven't established themsleves and the back end guys that he's already mostly handled at AAA. Rolen will still get plenty of rest that way to stay productive, but JF should be productive in those hand picked situations as well.

If Francisco was going to play third this series, it would have been last night. JF is weaker against lefties and no way was he playing today.

I thought Heisey might have played today instead of Bruce or Stubbs.

Still, a solid lineup today, let's get the sweep.

Well, they've played a total of two games so far and had a day off inbetween those. Plus, like you mentioned, they have a day off tomorrow. Add in the fact it's against a veteran lefty like Wolf, and to be honest, I'd have been surprised if Rolen wasn't in there.

I think I'm more concerned that it's a day game and Arroyo's pitching (with mononucleosis to boot). A couple years back I had a roommate who battled mono, and he was a heaping mess for about a month. I'm hopin' the offense brings the lumber today.

I agree that they should go easy on him...but he's not an invalid. I think he can handle 2 games in a row. Especially considering we've only played 2 up to this point. :O)

Listening to Hal on Reds Live and he says both Cueto and Bailey are throwing, but they won't give a time table on Cueto, yet say Bailey should be back before mid-April.

Didn't that weather girl have the SAME outfit on yesterday?

[Blitz Dorsey]

My fault. Game is on TV. Just not on HD.

[Blitz Dorsey]

Have to think we'll see Chapman for sure today.

Terrible.

I'm watching it on FSN-HD right now.

BTW, Rickie Weeks looks like the Predator.

[RedsMan3203]

I've got the game on in HD Also....

Weeks leads off with a HR. Reds coming to bat down 1-0.
