Reds Month Of July Game Thread

[kevin]

In 9th Galvis doubled and Aquino doubled making it 3-2 ball game. Votto double play ends game. I do not think Reds bats are so great that they can not find a spot for power hitter Aquino with a DH this year. Anybody that thinks the Reds bats were good last year and so far this year, I have 2 words for Reds hitting, Over Rated. Aquino did everything he could in his 2nd at bat this season to tie the game up in the 9th, and he needs more at bats. Reds are NOT so good they can forget about Aquino.

Reds need to win with Miley on the mound to get back to .500 at 2-2.....60 games is not a time for falling way under .500 as Reds have in recent seasons. .500 can not be as elusive and unable to reach. Get them next game and get to 2-2, not 1-3.

Get Aquino in there. What he did last year was more than I've seen of Senzel, Van Meter, Winker, Ervin combined in their careers. Those guys are the hype of what they may do. Aquino has actually shown he can crank homers and gappers and the Reds are in dire need of another POWER bat in order. It's like benching a young George Foster except this isn't no 1970's Reds batting order loaded in talent. Plus the DH this year. Even if it turns out Aquino has a low Dave Kingman like batting average, we need his power in the line-up. Aquino could hit the ball out of Yellowstone Park. You lead off with the table setters. Then the Power. I see Aquino batting 5th or 6th in the Power Middle of Line-Up for now. Plus they play in Great American SMALL Park. Not that the dimensions are shorter, but because the ball carries and one of the best home run parks in MLB. So you don't play a small ball line-up, you want Suarez and Aquino in there for some Long Ball.
