Stubbs had a double and a walk in the same game?
Whaa?

One heck of a rally here. 5-2 Reds. Janish nearly hit into an inning ending DP but an error let the inning continue. Then the avalanche for Duke. :O)
After 5 complete it's Reds 5 - Bucs 2.
Cueto at 101 pitches, Zach Duke at 82.

0 walks, 2 k's, but 9 hits allowed. Tons of fouled off balls. 101 pitches. And Dusty handles him correctly again. Cueto's done. (bunting for the sac...but I'm sure DRH is coming in)
Nice to see Hernandez back. I'd love to see the Reds resign him.
Hererra gives up a double and single back to back and Dusty pulls him for Ramon Ramirez. Well, we went with a double-Drew lineup the other day....how about a Ramon-Ramon battery. :O)
1 down, 2 on.
Big K there for Ramon! 2 down. Diaz PH'ing
Crud. Double by Diaz. Weak bloop down the line. 5-3
Grounder to Rolen to end the inning.
Leadoff single by Janish, takes an outside heater the other way.
This looks like the old Votto we were used to seeing in the first half. Good eye at the plate and working the count. 2 doubles on the day so far.
And now a walk.
Man. This kid Veal is all over the place.
LOL. Brandon with a weak flyout to center. And he CLEARLY drops the F-bomb and tosses his bat away. I guess with a crowd this sparce...we're gonna hear some cussin'. :O)
