    Poor AB by Lowell.

    Good to see Bailey get out of the 1st without too much damage.

    And I thought Nancy Drew had wheels. I'm surprised he didn't try to swipe one off Bailey.

    Dick Pole has changed his mechanics.

    I remember last year there were rumors of LaRussa and Dave Duncan coming to Cincy. I don't like LaRussa but that would have been nice only because of Duncan. I think a guy like Duncan could really straighten out Homer Bailey.

    Stealing 2B was b/c Homer's slow to the plate, and Ellsbury is fast.

    Stealing 3B was b/c Homer's slow to the plate, Ellsbury's fast, and Ross has a rag arm.

    Is it just me, or in the past week has Bruce fallen in love with swinging at the 1st pitch he sees during a PA?

    Beckett made Bruce look like a rookie there.

    Welcome to the big leagues Mr. Bruce. That is the 1st AB I can remember in his young career that he had zero chance.

    And Cabrera swings at the 1st thing he sees as well.

    It's the best pitcher Bruce has faced in his entire life, I'm sure. It's probably not even close.
    Benzinger backing and calling! And the 1990 world championship series belongs to the Cincinnati Reds!

    Nice base knock up the middle by Cabrera.

    It's time to get Bruce out of the leadoff spot. His approach at the plate has changed since moving to leadoff. I like him better in the two hole.

    I already like Jolbert batting 2nd more than Janish

    It'll be interesting to see if he can make some adjustments against him

    The SS batting 2nd yet again. I think I'm moving through the stages of grief backwards. I started at anger, then went to denial. Now I'm back at anger again, with a healthy dose of embarrassment.

    That said... good to see Cabrera lace one up the middle for a base hit.
    Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.

    Griffey needs to be out of the 3 hole.

    Best hitter he ain't.
