Fast Forward to the day after the deadline: "We looked and called around but we didn't like the asking price. So we did nothing."

Brutal PA by Elly with 2 on and nobody out. Watch a strike down the middle, swing at one half a foot above the zone, watch strike three down the middle.
Nice job by Hays to get a run in, though. Then a double steal? Don't know if I have seen one of those by the Reds this season. Then more by Lux, hell yeah multiple (earned no less) runs in the 1st inning.
