    Gotta keep Santiago's hot bat in there. Frazier hadn't been off for a while. He probably needs a day.

    The Cubs also called up one of their uber prospects in Alcantara for 2B, so much for Barney.



    Also, it's tough to give Frazier a day off(hope that's all it is) when it means more playing time for Ramon, even though he has been okay lately.

    I'm not complaining about it, I have no problem with giving Todd a day off. It's not like Price has many options. It's still bad though haha.

    I'll hope for the best.

    Reds are facing Dallas "not Latos" Beeler tonight, and Kyle "not Kendrick" Hendricks tomorrow.

    I know nothing about either.

    I have no idea how this team is winning games haha

    Since May 30, they've gone 25-13 to go from 8 1/2 games back to 3 1/2 games behind the Milwaukee Brewers in the NL Central.

    Offensively, only the Brewers have scored more runs in this stretch. Pitching? Only the Nationals and Dodgers have a lower team ERA.

    Teams evolve during a six-month season, and during this time of so much competitive balance, playoff berths will be decided by the teams playing their best in September.

    Still, the Reds are a team with very few weaknesses. Very few? Try none. At least, none at the moment.

    OPS by batting spot tonight:
    .730
    .626
    .695
    .737
    .995
    .681
    .577
    .592

    To say they don't have a weakness right now, is a big time stretch lol.

    It is because of their very high TWTW rating

    It's a very good run prevention lineup with some hot hitters in at the top and in the middle. It's Solid.
    Attended 1976 World Series in my Mother's Womb. Attended 1990 World Series Game 2 as a 13 year old. Want to take my son to a a World Series Game in Cincinnati in my lifetime.

    We are winning games because our players are defying the laws of statistics. I can't explain it, but really no one else can either. It's quite simply magical.

    More "nobodys" to give Reds hitters fits.
