Baseball is back! The Cincinnati Reds open what many expect to be a season on the rebound.
The good guys open the season hosting the Miami Marlins for a three game series. The lineup for the season opener against LHP Mark Buerhle:
Phillips 2B
Cozart SS
Votto 1B
Rolen 3B
Bruce RF
Ludwick LF
Stubbs CF
Hanigan C
Cueto SP
Well now is as good a time as any to say hello. I’ve been on this site for a few years now and haven’t commented. I’m frustrated with some things and thrilled about others, as everyone is, but I’m just plain excited to get this season started. Let’s go Reds!
Hope the Marlins are jet lagged.
I’ll be there on Sunday for the game. Hopefully we can carry some good momentum from today through the weekend.
I’m heading down to the game on Saturday! Let’s go Redlegs!!!
At least we didn’t get stuck facing Johnson. If we can pitch like Lohse did last night this will be a good Opening Day.
Yes, hello! Let’s start this thing off with a win!
Well, I’m back after a long offseason. Let’s get this season started off right! Go Reds!
2012 first inning >>>>>>>>>> 2011 first inning
Classic Votto
Howdy peeps. I’m glad the games is on ESPN otherwise I would be s.o.l. The Detroit game ran a little long so ESPN joined the Reds game in the bot. 1st. Oh Detroit won 3-2
Good job by Bruce. Good way to start.
ROLAN!!!!!!!!
Rolen redeems himself!
Anybody else think the home plate umpire called three balls strikes (one on Rolen, two on Bruce)? Bruce battled and got home the run. Two LOB doesn’t bother me, we got 1 in.
I sure do miss U.D.F. GABP looks fantastic on T.V.
Heck of a play by Rolen. Cueto looking good so far.
A bunt from Stubbs? WTF is going on? Did someone kill Dusty?
Rolen with the play of the year
Sorry Rol-e-n
why is the game not on espn 2
Tweet from John Fay: Jocketty told Marty, Brad Johansen that he’s confident that Phillips deal will be done in a week. For Walt to say that, ink must be drying.
Wow! What team am I rooting for? This is unreal (happy).
Stubby with a nice push bunt
LOL, me. I said the same thing two posts above you.
thats a crying shame waited monthes for this and cant watch it not foxsports central espn 2 mlb network aaaaaaaa!
@Vottoeroticism: Brad Johansen? Please don’t tell me Johansen is broadcasting Reds games.
Cueto is looking REALLY good today
Votto’s making an early case for the Gold Glove today.
Johnny Cueto, Cy Young
Joey Votto, MVP
Zack Cozart, ROY
Votto, Phillips, Rolen, Bruce, Gold Gloves.
By the way, what does “small sample size” mean?
Kennesaw Mountain Landis for president.
@Y-City Jim: $$$. No other reason.
I missed baseball
Rolen with a gapper
Trade him for prospects! We won’t be able to afford him when he hits Free Agency anyway!
Just Kidding
@CI3J: You’re 80 minutes late on that one.
Does Cueto have nickname? 95 pitches for Cueto, I wonder how far Dusty will let him go. I’ll guess 110 max.
I call him Dropkick Johnny, myself.
7 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 4 K, 2 BB – Good work by Cueto today. Now for the bullpen to keep the lead.
Hooray Chapman. Wouldn’t mind seeing that every fifth day.
WHY IS CHAPMAN NOT A STARTER?
i’d leave chapman in 4 the 9th.he has only 10 pitches
Man-o-man the Cuban Missile is right on target today.
Bruuuuuuuuuuuuce!
@AndyS: Me thinks a dirty Redbird has infiltrated Redleg Nation.
Nope, lifelong Reds fan. But if we can’t laugh at ourselves and our own team, we’re no better than Cardinals fans.
That was a total Bomb from Bruce. Votto and Bruce want to be the Reds version of Bagwell and Biggio? Nice
The Marlins Catcher sure is emotional.
Oh thanks for clearing it up for me. It makes total sense now! Duh!
@AndyS: I stand corrected, and your right. Fist bump.
Christopher J Heisey
Free Heisey! Free Heisey! Free Heisey!
BP put a charge into that one. Looked like he thunk about standing at the plate and admiring his work, but thankfully he didn’t.
There was the part with Votto getting picked off at first. So far so good from Marshall though.
Beautiful. Here’s hoping the other 161 are as smooth as that.
One game in and I am already in love with this team.
Marshall did not play around. Way to go Redlegs, steady as she goes. Really enjoyed reading all the comments. Redleg Nation is the Go To place for Reds fans. Go Reds!
