I'm sure the casual fan won't even bother to check the pitching matchup for tonight. And if they did, I doubt they would know a difference between Milton and Harang.
I don't understand not going to a game because of the starting pitcher. I could see if the forecast called for rain and 25 degree weather but it is going to be a gorgeous night. If I was anywhere close to Cincinnati this weekend, I would be down there in a second. And really, the Reds could have won the games that Milton has pitched this year..
Josh is due for a homer....it's been a day
No one has mentioned this yet... GONZO 5th????!
The attendance this year has been embarrassing. I just don't get it. I live in Gainesville, FL so, my only real chances to watch the team are when the play in Atlanta or Miami and, when they do so, I'm just about always there. FWIW, both trips are about 5-6 hours for me - not exactly a quick jaunt.
It's a beautiful Saturday night and the Reds are playing. I can't imagine a better place to be, regardless of who takes the bump. But, that's just me, I guess.

I live in Norfolk va and Im making a trip to the queen city in july (9 hour drive) going to the nationals game (2.5 hour drive) and I'm going to a pittsburgh series (8 hour drive). I see as many reds games as possible. If I lived in Cinci I wold try my best to be at nearly every home game.
In all honesty, I would have to hear a pretty good excuse for not going down to the park on a night like tonight if one lives close to Cincinnati to still consider one an avid baseball or Reds fan. And no, Milton pitching is not a valid excuse. I can't think of too many places I would rather be tonight than GABP.
I live in San Diego and I'm going to drive 10 minutes to see the Reds at San Diego.
This lineup is brutal. I hope we get a hit. Hamels could dominate us with our best lineup out there.
