Giants @ Reds (5/5-5/7)

The San Francisco Giants come to town for the weekend series. The Giants are the worst team in the NL this season, and the Reds luck out in missing Bumgarner. They do get former Red Johnny Cueto on Sunday though. Hopefully they can keep up their recent hot streak and take another series before hitting the road.

Pitching matchups:

Tonight: Cain vs. Arroyo

Saturday: Blach vs. Garrett

Sunday: Cueto vs. Feldman

Keep in mind that tonight's game starts at 6:40. Post game concert with Kaleo, whoever that is.

When they do the post-game concerts, do they keep you guys later?

We are not required to stay past the end of the 7th (or 9:10pm, whichever comes first) tonight. However, they are actually allowing us to continue selling through the rest of the game and potentially the concert. We haven't been told the cutoff. You just don't "have to stay". I tend to stay when given the option.

Last year for the Chase Rice concert. They actually made us stop selling at the end of the 7th. But then could start again as soon as the game ended until a given point of the concert. Was definitely worthwhile that night. Not sure tonight would be.

Isn't bumgarner out for like months

Those pitching matchups are interesting. Tonight, we get the old beat up, injury comeback guys squaring off. Tomorrow, we get the rookie lefthanders. Sunday ... well, no similarities there ... :lol2:

Isn't bumgarner out for like months

Yeah like 2-3 months from his dirt bike accident.

Article on ESPN updated the projected win totals for teams at this point of the season. Reds are projected to win 76.4 games now, which is up 4.6 games from their preseason projection.

Rising Yankees, falling Dodgers? How first month changes outlook for all 3

This was 8/31/2008.

Or 3169 days ago.

There are 3rd graders who have lived their whole lives since then.

Delayed, could be a long night.

Reds need a retractable roof stadium.

Why are the Giants uniforms spelled wrong?

Same reason Cincinnati is wearing their Los Rojos uniforms.

All those runs and no homeruns.
