Mr. Perez

Well, Ollie's on the mound again tonight. It's awfully nice how that rotation fell for him, to pitch against the Rockies, then the Reds. This assignment will be a bit tougher since it's in the Great American Wind Tunnel, but most of the Reds boppers are lefties (Dunn, Casey) so it should be advantage Ollie there. If he struggles with his control like he did on Saturday, the Reds will make him pay more than the Rockies did. If he worked some of the rust off on Saturday, the Reds could be in trouble. Here's hoping for the Ollie that inspired the greatest commercial in FSN history to reappear tonight. Don't know anything about the guy we're facing today. ESPN doesn't even have a picture of him. And we're back in the Eastern Time Zone, which is nice. Those 8:10 games throw me off a bit.
