Votto Ks, but he saw 8 pitches in the at-bat.

I really like the idea of platooning Gomes/Dickerson to start the season. That way the Reds could get Carbrera(or Stubbs) out of the top of the order but we know that isn't going to happen. Heck I'd be shocked if he hits out of the 2 hole once in the entire year.
Phillips pops out.
1-0 Reds after one.
BP does his best Willie Mays Haynes, sans pushups. End of 1, 1-0 Rojos.
Pop out to start the 2nd. Arroyo in a nice rhythm.
BA falls behind Olivio 2-0, then on a couple of benders, gets him to pop up. F-6. 1 down.
You do the pbp, I'll add color.
Can 'o corn.
Mora flies out to RF. Two down.
Chapman is going to look like he is throwing 200 mph when he follows Arroyo to the hill.
Ya know, for BA usually sucking during daylight hours (was his mother a vampire?!?), he's looking pretty filthy. Even moreso when you factor in that 'breaking ball' pitchers usually go to Arizona to die due to the dry air/elevation. Notsomuch says BA!
And now a K.
Arroyo looking very sharp.
1-0 middle of 2, Reds lead.
Wow did not know this was on MLB Network. Didn't set the DVR. Want to curse.
Scott "Professional at-bat" Rolen singles back through the box to start the 2nd.
Man, it's a beautiful day here (and down in Goodyear). Makes ya wanna go out and play some ball...or at least catch a game!
