Awesome.

And I have never heard anyone other than Nicoma say that Elly is an amazing SS. Outside of Reds coaches or officials, I'm not sure where to look for or find this "serious and decent sized contingent" that claims any of this.

Fantasy stats? I don't think I have ever talked fantasy points in here. Also not quite sure what I did to you to make you be so hostile.

Here's just a taste...

All based off a new stat that only started including infielders in 2020.

Looks like McLain is leading off tonight with Friedl getting a night off. Lodolo is on the Paternity list through the weekend. He was supposed to start on Sunday so we'll see what they do there.

It's nice to win the first one. Winning series at Baltimore would be Reds playing good ball, because Baltimore is not easy to beat in Baltimore over the last couple years.

I guess realistically he wasn't going to keep a 0.98 ERA all year and Greene was due a little bit of an equalizer.

Just hope that inning is out of his system now, because 2 HR and 2 HBP is not great.

Got the lead back, now time to lock back in.

Nice to see Fraley show a bit of power. He's actually bouncing back and is around league average now, which is a big difference from his start.

Also seriously, Candelario isn't some blazing fast base stealer. Getting picked off base is frustrating, but a slow guy getting picked off is enraging. Made worse by two doubles following that.

Why is Candelario in a major league lineup? What’s his problem?

Edit, update: Still useless.

Just when you think you can take the series today and then your ace doesn't show up.
