Reds lead 1-0 on a double by Heisey and walk to Bruce and a single by Ludwick. Bottom second.

Broxton hasn't pitched yet.

Homer breezing so far.

Now through two innings, 1-0 Reds.

A comment on Valdez. He has played really well IMO. His numbers are a very small sample and do not give him justice.

This game, he made a "productive out" in the first and got a hit here in the third.

He made a bad baserunning play, no doubt. Should have been a dead duck at third.

However, I thought he slid in safely.

Go Reds.

Ludwick's hot streak has been perfect timing. He's hitting when they need him to hit the absolute most. Now let's hope he continues when Votto returns. Having them all clicking would be enormous.

Yea, I agree. Overall, I am pleased with Valdez and I'm happy he's on the team. It was just a bit funny.. He would've been thrown out at 2b on the hit and run but caught a break.. That's why I was joking about how he was determined to get out.

Valdez has pretty much been the perfect backup middle infielder (and did great filling in at CF when the Reds needed him to)

Homer didn't find some magical solution to make him a really good pitcher. His BB, HR, and H/9 are all the same as last year and it's the third year in a row his K/9 has went south. He's probably due for a couple more of these.

Just jumping in quickly. Jeff Brantley had a good one very early in the game (after he knocked in Heisey, I think) - he said we should start calling him "Clutch-wick". I thought that was a good one.

Oh, my late father-in-law groused about this for years that we sent damaged goods to the Cards. Heck, he might have mentioned that one last time during the visit when he died. I know he said Brandon Phillips should have been thrown out of the league for his actions, until I reminded him that Juan Marichal wasn't thrown out for smacking Johnny Roseboro with a baseball bat, so there was no need to exile BP. Fortunately, his last baseball words to me were from reading one of the books we gave him of interviews with players from the 40's and 50's. He said to me, "Do you remember 'old so & so' ?" [name is elusing me]. He said the toughest batter he ever face was Stan Musial, the toughest pitcher, Ewell Blackwell. He then recounted Blackwell's pitching style and we chatted about that. We butted heads, but we both loved baseball. I'm guessing he's at peace with the Brantley trade now - and Brandon Phillips.

I can buy that. But what was the story on Mesoraco? The seventh innnig is awfully early to take out your catcher, especially when you're only carrying two and it wasn't part of a double switch.

I consider the first two games to be flukes. One of the weaker offenses in the league, Petco or not, vs. one of the best pitching staffs in the league and the results flip flop for a couple of games. What an unpredictable, random game MLB is on a day to day basis. It is certainly not a betting man's game (sorry Pete).
