That pretty much sums up the Reds season and why they are behind Chicago, Milwaukee and St Louis in the standings.  They haven’t made any progress hitting with men in scoring position all year.

Welp...like i said before. You can't go on a nice little streak to get back to .500 and proceed to drop a few...so that you can go on a little streak to get back to .500, only to drop a few. Gotta stay away from these losing streaks. They just crush anything positive you do because you're still net even +/- a game or two...

Cardinals and Brewers series are always so deflating.

Yep, one step forward and two steps back. They just can't maintain any kind of long-term momentum.

My prediction was 5 days off.

Still, incredibly exciting! He has been nothing short of dominant for the entire year in the minor leagues. I really hope he has a good debut. I'm not expecting 6 innings of shutout baseball or anything, but if he could keep it within the realm of a quality start (4.50 ERA if he doesn't make it to 6 innings as part of a pitch count) I'd call that a major win.

A tough assignment for him but I'm good with it. Yanks are 4th in MLB in runs scored and have this guy who's pretty good named Judge.

Are we thinking Martinez is injured or just struggling? I'm. bit surprised that they called Burns up this early. I'd think they would roll with bullpen games until someone got healthy if it were a matter of weeks.

Pitchers in baseball and DBs in football. You can never have too many.

Really nothing to do with Martinez. Don't know when Greene will be back and Miley's career could be over. Can't afford doing a bullpen day every 5th game especially when the bullpen gets used quite a bit already. In other news Hampson was DFA'D and Hinds called back up.

McLain gives Abbott an early 1-0 lead.

Have I ever mentioned how much that I hate the shift?

[Forever Spinning Vinyl]

God, do I love good baseball

Great balance on Elly's opposite field double.
TEAM baseball with the ground ball by Stephenson to 2nd base to move Elly to third.
Elly scores on the fair ground ball with most people not being able to score on that.

A fair ball on the ground by Lux with one out and a runner on third. Not a pop-up and not a strike out. Good baseball.

Oh, and Andrew Abbott being Andrew Abbott

Avoided a sweep.
