If we are tracking Donnie Joseph he made his MLB debut Thursday and pitched Friday as well.
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.
Considering how it got started, does anyone else find it a bit ironic that this thread is over a year old and approaching 900 post?
Thought I'd keep this thread alive with a few tidbits on Ex-Reds:
1. Willy Taveras (my favorite) was released from the Royals AAA roster.
2. Chris Valaika cleared waivers and was outrighted to the Marlins AAA team.
3. Chris Dickerson is in DFA limbo, but rumored as headed to Philly with Revere injured.
4. Adam Dunn with a hit and 2 walks today sits at .212/.318/.458/.775 with 24 HR. He has 430 Career HR. He's 44th on the All Time list and his next will tie him with Cal Ripken Jr. for 43rd. His 1218 Walks are 53rd on the career list. His 2145 K's are 4th All Time.
All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”

Didi's an upgrade over Cozart, but the difference between them isn't a real game changer. I was never sold on Cozart as a long term solution and liked Didi as competition, but obviously Arizona only wanted to do the deal for Didi so c'est la vie.

In 80 games this year, Wladimir Balentien has 38 homers, 84 rbi, 61 bb/62 k and a line of .319/.440/.763/1.203. Not bad, shame he is in Japan and not in the Reds LF.
Here is a homer he hit earlier this year, I love that weird thing they do in the stands with the umbrellas/parasols. (It only takes him a Billy Hamilton-esque 27 seconds to race around the bases.
Lest we forget his 09 stint with the Reds
