I've never sat in the bleachers so I have no idea what those are like. Last season for some crappy series', like against the Royals, they had some ticket deals going on. Might want to keep your eye out for those. I think I sat in the $34 by the RF bullpen for like half-off, or something like that. I just don't know how many, if any, of those they'll have. I'm expecting attendance to be better overall.

Trust me there will be plenty of tickets for most of the games this year.
Even last year during the home stretch of a playoff run there were plenty of tickets.

Agreed with the above. Even in a game thats generally full there are almost always seats available on the 1st or 3rd base line to be snagged. For this I'd recommend view level which i think are $14. You can move down to better seats but if there arent any to be had or you get caught somehow the view level seats are still pritty good.

Looks like Cueto is going to miss the start of the season.
It really isnt that big of a deal as Leake has been pitching well and will take his spot in the rotation for now.

I was going to say. I thought I heard Leake was getting lit up this spring so far.

Yes I still feel fine.
The Reds have plenty of starting pitching depth and you only need your 5th starter a couple times the first weeks of the season.
If Leake cant fill in Maloney or LeCure will.
1. Volquez
2. Arroyo
3. Wood
4. Bailey
Again we will be fine throwing someone in there until Cueto gets back, he will probably only miss a couple of weeks.

I'm not terribly worried about Cueto missing time. I am worried about Leake's pitching though.
