Everyone stop doing red as your primary color, please.
Only problem is the DBacks have more red in them than the Reds.

Besides Houston and AZ who has changed to Red? Still a lot better than the black fad that the Reds sadly joined in on.

I think that Brox will be tremendous next year. He's pretty good now.

Thing is, he still has great velocity.

Keep in mind this guy missed most of 2011 and had surgery.

Let's hope Arodis isn't rusty after a few off days.

Hill is one of the best hitters in baseball. Very smart. Most guys swing at that 3rd, and 4th pitch.

I think the red just stands out more against white vs the Reds gray road uni's

I get your point... but "one of the best hitters in baseball"? Aaron Hill?

I think a few teams did around the same time, I'll have to double check though.

He won the battle getting the count to go full...but those pitches were so close...I think he got a little lucky on his decision to take.

I hate the Phillies uniforms...I love the old wine colored pin stripe unforms and wine colored hats..

Having their primary color "Red" is horrible.
