The older I get - the better I was
and yes - I hate the Cardinals (Reds fan since 1958)
I miss Raisor

"I think we’re starting to get to the point where people are starting to get tired of this stretch of ball,” Votto said. “I think something needs to start changing and start going in a different direction. I’m going to do my part to help make that change.”
I feel that this is going to be the Reds team we see for the rest of the season.
Congratulations to Jay Bruce, who has passed Gus Bell and Brandon Phillips for 12th place on the Reds' all-time home run list!

Can only hold Carpenter down for so long, apparently.
4-2 now on a wild pitch.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
I like Bryan Price. Great communicator.
She used to wake me up with coffee ever morning
Cingrani all of a sudden losing it. 4 pitch walk to Holliday. Two on, one out.
Christiani and Duke warming up, apparently the B Squad will have to do tonight.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
Thanks for the pbp.
Cingrani out, unknown which reliever will be in to face Beltran. Either way, it's a daunting task.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
Small things matter and the Reds don't really do them well. Choo has to cut that ball off or simply make a better play. That ball should not have been a triple.
Changes the whole dynamics of the inning.
This is the time. The real Reds organization is back.

Duke and Christiani were warming. I guess they were two guys not used (or lightly used) yesterday.
Tough situation for those two.
Dusty turning expanded rosters into a liability.
