BOX SCORE
POSITIVES
–None. Well, Sam LeCure and JJ Hoover were pretty good in relief, but that just about covers it.
NEGATIVES
–Reds were only able to muster three hits against a former wide receiver.
NOT-SO-RANDOM THOUGHTS
–Uninspired. That’s the only way to describe that performance by the Redlegs.
–Bronson Arroyo wasn’t bad tonight: three runs in six innings. Of course, he wasn’t particularly good either, but what more can you expect out of a fifth starter? I’ll take it.
–I really don’t have anything else to say about this mess of a game. Not enjoyable at all.
–Reds are going to win tomorrow afternoon, so everything will be okay.
