After Tuesday butt kicking, this was one of the more satisfying wins in some time, certainly the most satisfying this year.
Great to see Votto with the walk off and how excited he was.
If you can't appreciate this win for what it was, it might be time for you to take a break from Reds baseball. Because what more could you have expected from this game from a Red's perspective? Great comeback win against their arch rivals which keeps them firmly in the playoff chase.
Yeah, many of us are here to discuss and enjoy baseball. We don't claim that the Reds are great or constantly talk up that the Reds are a great org (we're under no illusions after n years of consistently bad baseball that has not yet turned around) but we are still fans of the game and fans of (some) of the players and enjoy watching and discussing baseball and rooting for these guys.Quote:

Some just come here to rant, vent, complain, and troll.
Good game, fun win. That's what it's all about
His struggles with control when his mistakes end up over the middle of the plate will improve itself. He clearly shows he cares about it. Patience. What's most impressive about Mahle this year is his pitching after the 75-pitch mark. Second, is his shortening his pitch count per PA to batters.Quote:
