Bring on the Rubber Match! Big game tonight, fellas.

Side note: Ramirez has failed to record a decision in his last four outings, although the Reds have won three of those games. He always gives us a chance to win. Get 'em Lizard!

Im a little disturbed that we cant find EE more playing time, but after the night Aurilla had last night, I cant see him sitting either. I really wish someone would whisper to JN that Phillips is a natural shortstop... and pull the plug on Rolls Royce. This is would be a nice win, get another series under the belt, and move on to Old Milmakeyouwalkfunny.

Valentin is batting in a unusual spot. Hopefully batting 6th will work out for him.

If Valentin would see more playing time batting against right handers his average would def go up.

In the last game that Buchholz and Elizardo faced each other the Reds were held to 4 hits. 1 from Dunn, 2 from Kearns, and 1 from McCracken. Reds lost 3-2.

The FSN Houston announcers just said Dunn switched to a lighter bat a few weeks ago, which is why he's been on fire lately.

It would make sense, he's hitting .346 since June 26 but his AB/HR has changed from around 10 to around 16 (from the graphic on FSN Ohio).
