Open Thread and Ichthyomancy: Reds at Marlins (6/6)

Cincinnati @ Florida
The Marlins finally return to South Florida and get to face the Reds. So far this season the Marlins haven't won a game against the Reds, but that changes tonight.
This will be Miller's first start against the Reds. He has done better of late and hasn't thrown as many pitches to the screen. Walks are still a problem but he has worked around them in the last few outings. If he can control his pitches, he should be fine.
Cueto will be facing the Marlins for the first time. He has been pitching better at home than on the road, go figure. He also has a tendency to give the long ball.
In case you didn't know, and how could you not, Griffey is sitting on 599 home runs. It is unclear whether he will play today or not.
Ichthyomancy is ready for a home game. Good Luck!

Reds score runs in only 2 of the 9 innings (or 3 of however many innings if it goes past 9)

Weird
Not only did we pick the same attendance, we both have hanley and our AAB’s have to do with runs scored! (cue twilight zone music)

Do not think that what is hard for you to master is humanly impossible; but if a thing is humanly possible, consider it to be within your reach.

Miller
I dont know if this is acceptable but I want my AAB to be a 7 game win streak starting tonight…
If not, Miller CG

Really now, 4 IP from Miller?
This is ridiculous. Our bullpen can’t keep throwing 4 and 5 innings a game.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Byung-Hun Kim is available and can eat innings.

No way was that strike 3 on Treanor.

ouch
I think I’d rather be back on the road. At least it gave me time to switch over to the Hurricanes game.

The Canes were still playing after the game...
unfortunately it just added to the pain.
