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.
The wind is blowing out to rightfield at Goodyear Ballpark at about 30 miles per hour.
The Reds will be working on pop ups in their daily fundamental drills this morning.
"We re-arranged out schedule," Dusty Baker said. "You have to play in those conditions sooner or later. When you go to Chicago, San Francisco or New York sometimes the wind is a condition you have to deal with. The one element players don't like to deal with is the wind. There is very little preparation for the wind. They can take cold. They can take heat but that wind boy."
The Reds and Indians have combined to score 44 runs in the first two games. With the wind conditions it is going to be tough to keep the ball in the ballpark today.
The Reds' lineup is:
Billy Hamilton CF
Brandon Phillips 2B
Joey Votto 1B
Ryan Ludwick LF
Jay Bruce RF
Cesar Izturis 3B
Zack Cozart SS
Ryan Hanigan C
Nevin Ashley DH
Sam LeCure P
Following LeCure to the mound:
Jose Arrendondo, J.J. Hoover, Josh Ravin, Manny Parra, Logan Ondrusek and Drew Hayes.
The Indians pitchers will be:
Zach McAllister, Daisuke Matsuzaka, Cody Allen, Rich Gil, Jerry Gil (former Red), T.J. House, and Preston Guilmet
