I'd rather have Stubbs at #2, but I'm guessing the Reds are giving Stubbs a chance to prove he's productive at the bottom of the order, since he was struggling at the top.. So in the big picture, I can understand batting Valdez #2.

4-0 Marlins.

Not too upset with Arroyo, he was due for a clinker. But if the offense doesn't figure out how to attack this stadium, the Reds will be swept.

Yea, he should be done for the night. But the Reds couldn't attack GABP on the last homestand. I doubt they get swept, but their offense is anemic the last couple of weeks.

If I'm correct, Valdez' throw came after one run had already scored.

And I'm not sure a perfect throw gets Reyes at the plate.

Official scorer did not give Valdez an error on the throw, apparently concluding Reyes would have scored anyway.

I always get concerned when the Reds play in a stadium like this. It's so different from GABP. The Reds' style of hitting just isn't made for this type of stadium.

Sometimes it works out, but watching them pop up three straight times after Ludwick walks to lead off the inning . . . .

Why do they need a full game to figure it out? Just by reading the dimensions and walking out there....I think they can get the idea that trying to hit homer runs is not going to work.

Trying is ok is little league. This is the big leagues. You are paid to execute. That 10 seconds of baseball cost us 2 runs. There is never an excuse for bad defense. Your offense will come and go because their is a guy throwing 90mph trying to get you out and sometimes he will win. However your defense is all on you. Those throws were not even close.

Other than the solo homerun, Bronson just gave up singles in a big ball park. He was really not hit that hard which is a sign of how he pitched.

Listening to Marty tonight, he pointed out that this team, when they face a pitcher they've never seen, make that pitcher look like Grover Cleveland Alexander or Cy Young. Such was the case tonight. Add that to the fact that you pretty much have to score four runs to have a chance when Arroyo is pitching, and the result is obvious. Go get em tomorrow.
