It would be nice to see the reds take at least 1 from the Brewers because their next 14 games are against not so great competition. Pirates, Cubs, Indians. Blue Jays are decent I guess ?
I'd like to see them get their record up to somewhat respectable.

I hope Castillo pitches well tonight. I'm a fan and would hate to see him join the 7.00+ ERA club on this squad.

Reds up 10-5 in the 8th. Another win? What is going on with this team? I hope it continues.

Yes, Reds win. Now a chance to win 2 series in a row.
Pitching has been better and bats such as Stephenson back and Drury and Moran are heating up. In fact all Fantasy Owners scrambling to add these Reds. Nobody was talking Drury start of season, but he is putting up great numbers. Moran is smoking the last week. Stephenson can just flat out hit, we knew that.

Would be sweet to see them take the series vs. Brewers.

For sure. I have no hope for the season and think they'll be vying for last place with the Pirates; however, I'd much rather see them experience success.
The trade deadline is going to be interesting if guys like Drury, Moran, and Pham are doing well. They aren't players you build a team around so I wonder if they'll be up for trade.

He pitched ok for his 1st start of the season, he looked really good the 1st three innings. The problem I see is that if he pitches too good, ownership might want to move him by the trade deadline. I wonder what the plan is for him longterm with the Reds. Keep him and extend him? Hope he pitches well enough to move him? Interesting to see how it will play out. Also hear some teams still interested in Mahle. I guess there's a market for a pitcher that throws 20+ pitches an inning and is done by the 4th or 5th inning.

Me either
I have no delusions this team is gonna stage a comeback. If they win more than 60 games I'll be shocked  But I would like to see them dig their way out of the brown paper bag over their heads area. LOL

It will be interesting to see how Castillo plays out ? If he pitches middle area and up he'll probably be traded.

Greene on the mound this evening. Lets hope he can bounce back from getting roughed up the last couple games.

It's been going strong for a few years now. It's way noticeable at stadiums with bad teams and low attendance.
