Assuming the Indians cooperate, they'll take a 125-game winning streak into Cincinnati on July 9, 2018. You might want to think about tix.

For some reason, after every game at Busch Stadium someone comes through the press box and lowers every rolling chair as far as it'll go.

Odd to have Winker sit and Ervin in with a RH starter but Winker has played two straight since coming off the DL and today is a day game after a night so caution is understandable.

Left handed batters vs Weaver in 2017: .172 avg, 0.95 ERA
Right handed batters vs. Weaver in 2017: .278 avg, 3.18 ERA

Peraza leading off with the .299 OBP While Ervin at .381. is in the 7 hole. Brilliant! :rolleyes:

With 16 games left, Joey Votto needs to reach base 32 times to break his own team record for times on base. He's reached 36x in last 16g.

He's played two days in a row since coming back, and they're going to ease him in. It's just a day off.

Reds out in order in the first.

Garret gives a walk and an infield single. But gets out of it that includes two K's.

Just me, or does this kid kind of favor Leake?

I consider him the unofficial third Weaver brother.

Ervin drives in Schebler on one of the worst errors I've ever seen a SS make.

This umpire has a strike zone that's bigger than my...It's big.

More of that Amir, please. Thank you.
