that was probably the best defensive game i have seen by Mesaraco!! awesome display and if he starts to really hit he can become the Reds starting catcher very soon..

“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”

Sometimes I think the Reds TV guys just say dumb things and then attribute them to Dusty. For example, Pic just said if you have a .500 record on the road and win three-quarters of your games at home, you'll get 90 wins and make the playoffs.
I'm not a mathematician, but 60+40 is not 90.
Reds' hitters have thrown up this line in the last five games: .175/.263/.287/.550. And the Reds have one all five. The line against Reds' pitchers in that same span: .184/.190/.282.472. Incredible.
