On a side note I'm surprised Herrera isn't starting at 2nd today.
Sign of two things: A. Scooter will not be dealt and Reds want to win today.
Plus how could the Reds deal a Hometown Hero who has a four homer game, only one in Reds history, and is leading the NL in BA on 7/8/18? Not since another Hometown Hero in Pete Rose 45 years ago have the Reds had a Batting title winner! Plus the Reds have arbitrational control over Scooter for next season and Senzel is hurt. No brainer, especially if the Reds continue to win big over the next few weeks.

Reds haven’t lost a series since June 17th at Pittsburgh 2 games to 1.
Since then the Reds have gone 4-0-1 in 5 series.
They will probably lose today with Lester going but you never know. Castillo throws hard and had one of his best starts last time out.

If that top of the first is any indication, may want to find something else to do today. Coupled with the FSO Hex in pregame of “Reds never lose the final game of a series,” we are royally screwed.

Getting to it prevents the stupid Heyward run but Baez was reaching on that easy.

Peraza steals 2nd so you avoid the double play, but also so that you eliminate the notion of bunting him over with no outs.
Then Riggleman decides to go ahead and bunt him over to third anyway.
