Could be worse tonight...Castro could be starting.
Castro's only an asset when an armless pitcher is going.
Hopper is hitting .455 off LH Paul Maholm, the Pittsburgh starter. "Sometimes, we go with matchups," Dusty Baker said. "Sometimes, we go how a guy's going."
The rotation will be as speculated upon post off day: Aaron Harang Tuesday, Josh Fogg Wednesday, Edison Volquez Thursday v. the Cubs in Wrigley. Johnny Cueto, Bronson Arroyo and Harang v. the Brewers at home.
Sounds like David Ross will not be coming off the DL Tuesday. "He needs to get at-bats," Dusty Baker said. "I was hoping he'd get at-bats at high level sooner."
Matt Belisle's next start will be for Louisville. Belisle through a complete game for Chattanooga Thursday. He allowed two earned on seven hits -- no walks, three strikeouts.
In the case of Ross, he can be on rehab for up to 20 days. Beilise can be on the rehab for up to 30 days. Ross' rehab will be up April 22, Belisle's May 4.
Two other things to remember: Just because a player's rehab is up, he doesn't have to be re-instated, and Belisle has an option.
So glad to see Hopper tonight! Stay away rain!
Cowboy just picked Reds to win NL Central, mostly due to the arrival of Francisco Cordero.
"Book it," he said.
the first sip of the Dusty kool-aid is a little bitter...but it looks like it's getting smoother for you
Baseball is like church. Many attend, few understand
The sun is out, but the tarp is on the field....
I've never understood that....if you can start the game, then start the game!
First pitch estimated for 7:25pm
They've taken the tarp off.
Lot's of times, they're watching the radar. If there's still bad weather in the immediate area, they don't start.
"Enjoy this Reds fans, you are watching a legend grow up before your very eyes" ... DoogMinAmo on Adam Dunn
I know, but I've also seen where that method comes back to bite them....they wait, it never comes, so they start, then it comes, and the game ends up delayed longer or called....when they could have started originally, and possibly gotten through 5...
Plus if you start, and it starts raining...if it's not raining all that hard, they'll play on...
It's the year 2008 George, not 208
Be warned: The BP is currently underway for a few minutes...
Sensitive ears should turn away
Oh for crying out loud ...
The game hasn't even started yet but that ridiculous Bronson Arroyo JTM commercial has run 4 times already.
Overkill? Not even Britney Spears gets that kind of air play.
Just wait until September rolls around, I'm sure it will have grown on you by then
The Reds are 2-0-1 in three series so far this season but 0-3 in series openers. Hopefully we can change that to 1-3 after tonight.
