Baker said he has the lineup set for Game 2. It will be different from Game 1.

“I’ve got it,” Baker said. “I’ve got the mainstays in there — (Brandon) Phillips, Votto, (Jay) Bruce and (Drew) Stubbs. Everybody else is little different in the second game. Hopefully, we can get a lead and take some of those guys out.”

No Alonso, even after his great game last night.

Guess Dusty is still trying to catch the Brewers; every single game counts.

Nothing against Fred Lewis, but everyone knows what he can do.

How did the Reds score the runs?

Phillips single
lewis single
votto single to score Phillips
Bruce double, votto held at 3rd- beats me why
Cairo hits softly to 2nd- Bruce runs to 3rd, Votto holds Cairo thrown out at 1st then Votto out in the rundown to nowhere as Bruce stands on 3rd.

Last night, Yonder 3-4, 4rbi, doesn't play at all today. Todd Frazier, 2-4, 2b and hr in the 1st game, doesn't play the second.

Votto takes over the NL lead in OPS.

2nd in the majors, Batsita is about 100 points ahead.

Joey's really got his opposite field power back. Lordy.

Joey may end up with better overall numbers this year, and will probably not even end up in the top 10 in the MVP voting.

Great to see Arroyo pitching well tonight. Guy has had a tough year, hope he finishes strong and is healthy and ready for the 2012 pennant drive.

Lots of REDS fans in the park (relatively).

Nice details:
Kid in REDS shirt gets a foul ball. Gives it to old man who wanted it.
Sam LeCure sees this and tosses a ball to the kid.

Lady in REDS jersey asks me what part of Cincinnati I'm from. I say "Venezuela".
Get funny look. Maybe she was trying to pick me up?

Trivia game of the day was spelling "Cincinnati". Many attempts, only one correct answer.

I'm just glad Arroyo pitched well and didn't give up some gimme runs late. CoCo in his final days here.

Holy bullpen, Batman. In this series, the Reds relievers gave up 10 hits in 6 innings of work and 8 runs, 7 earned. That's an ERA of 10.50! Worn out?

Votto will definitely be in the top 10, and probably in the top 5. If he has a September that's anything like August, he'll have a legit shot of defending his title.

Not with the Brewers (Fielder, Braun) and D'Backs (Upton) winning division titles.

That's true. Now that I think about it, defending his MVP almost certainly won't happen. But I stand by the rest of my statement.

Of course, I find it rather ridiculous to give an MVP award in large part due to how good your teammates are, but that's a discussion for another thread.

Bronson Arroyo has looked a whole lot better here lately. Gotta give credit where credit is due.

Three weeks ago I wanted him placed on the DL with fatigue.

If not for that winning team factor, Votto might have lost out to Pujols last year. Pujols arguably had better numbers.
Works both ways.

That'd be fine with me. If Pujols truly had the better year, then he deserves to win the MVP award.

However, had the voters not taken into account how good a player's teammates are (like that will ever happen), I still think Votto wins -- he had a higher BA, OPS, WPA, wOBA, RC, etc. (Pujols did nudge him in WAR, 7.5 to 7.3) . It just wouldn't have been a landslide.
