At least they get it right back after giving it up.

He should be putting out seasons of 25-30 homers, 40-45 doubles.




Marte might be the "Power hitting corner outfielder" that they picked up at the trade deadline.

After getting caught cheating his rookie season and then following that up with his 2024 season being so bad and so underpowered... I just don't trust him or that his power was legally come by and I am waiting for the inevitable 162 game suspension from strike 2 of getting caught.

I know that's a bit negative, but also, don't rely on or trust cheaters to not cheat.

Greene will be back on Wednesday! Hasn't been determined if Martinez or Burns goes to the pen. Hopefully Mey is the one sent back to Louisville.

I like Francona's consistency with the lineup, but I wouldn't mind seeing this lineup, even if only once.
Friedl - CF
De La Cruz - SS
Steer - 1B
Marte - RF
Lux - LF
Andujar/Hays - DH
McLain - 2B
Stephenson - C
Hayes - 3B

[The D.O.Z.]

FOURTEEN runs today! This means 2-3 runs TOTAL over the next two games.

1.5 games behind primarily because the Mets are in a freefall (lost 7 straight, 1-9 in their last 10).

While I was slightly off in my series predictions for last week (I predicted 1-2 vs Cubs, 3-1 vs Pirates), the record ended up the same (4-3).

Reds have the NL East leaders in the Phillies (2nd best NL record), then NL Central leaders in the Brewers (best NL record) this week before traveling to the West Coast.
If they can come out of this week at least 3-3 or better, that will help them a lot.
