I am a freelance writer. I've covered the Cincinnati Reds, Bengals and others since 1992.
I have a background in sales as well. I've sold consumer electronics, advertising and consumer package goods for companies ranging from the now defunct Circuit City to Procter&Gamble.
I have worked as a stats operator for Xavier University, the University of Cincinnati, the College of Mount St. Joe and Colerain High School.
Leading the pack can wear on a long distance runner. Leading the marathon that is the baseball pennant race has the same effect.
Zack Cozart is nursing a strained left oblique muscle.
"It is minor right now but you have to be careful with those," Dusty Baker said before the Reds tilt with the Houston Astros Sunday morning. "If you reinjure it you can be out for a month to six weeks. Then you haven't done anything for awhile and there is no minor league season to rehab. They are keeping his hands strong by carrying a bat around so it isn't foreign to him when he is able to take some swings."
Didi Gregorius will get his second start this week and will bat second.
Scott Rolen is taking meds to calm down the spasms in his back.
"We have to get Frazier a break," Baker said. "He's been playing a lot. You can see his bat slowing down. He hasn't hit a home run or driven in a run in awhile. They are starting to pitch him differently too. Other teams have scouts like we do."
Xavier Paul is starting in leftfield for Ryan Ludwick and Drew Stubbs is back in the lineup batting seventh.
"Ludwick is slowing down too. He's been on base a lot. Usually behind a real hot streak there is a cold streak. His swing is slowing too. Heisey has been playing good but we need Stubbs back in there. We need him in center."
