JBandJoeyV Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 The Reds announced the lineup for Thursday’s opener vs. Milwaukee (2:10 pm at GABP): Drew Stubbs cf Brandon Phillips 2b Joey Votto 1b Scott Rolen 3b Jay Bruce rf Jonny Gomes lf Ramon Hernandez c Paul Janish ss Edinson Volquez p * It snowed earlier this afternoon here at Great American Ball Park, with temperatures in the 30s. Milwaukee was to work out between 12-2, came out and long-tossed briefly, then went back inside to hit. * The Reds’ workout was set for 2-4 p.m., but the team hit inside before coming onto the field for long-toss and some running. The team was on the field for maybe 15-20 minutes, with cold winds whipping. Everyone went back inside again, and more players headed back to the cage. * Just before 2 p.m., the snow was gone. No accumulation, but it was coming down hard earlier. “Ain’t nothing you can do about the weather,” Reds manager Dusty Baker said. “(Milwaukee) has got to deal with the elements too.” Ready to see Votto and Bruce tear shit up!

oldschooler Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 It is on TV here today! I hate the "Brew Crew". Hopefully Volquez pitches a gem and Votto and Bruce crank a few out for a win today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bengals1181 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 my one concern is giving Edison Volquez the start. Opening Days a big day, full of emotion, and Volquez has been a guy who's struggled getting too amped up. You saw that in game 1 of the playoffs.

oldschooler Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Back-to-back jacks for the Brewers to lead off the game. Their 1st out came on a sac fly. Vloquez also had a wild pitch in the 1st. Thankfully, the Reds got out of the inning trailing 3-0. So much for that "gem" from Volquez. I am just hoping for a walk off win now ...

Horrible. I have no confidence in him, at all. Stubs scores on a sac fly. Votto put a charge into one. But it was to the wrong part of the ballpark.
