This is the 34th game Reds have played against a LH starting pitcher this year.
Reds have faced RH starters 121 times. Under 22% of starting pitching facing the Reds this season has been left handed.
The NL Central was particularly heavy on RH starters this season. There has been a recent reduction in LH starters in MLB generally.
Reds should consider this in forming next year’s team. In particularly, facing so many righties, Reds should consider keeping Scooter Gennett who hits righties so well.
OTOH, Reds have won only 8 of the 33 games against lefty starters. So there is a need to keep some effective RH hitting. But it’s such a small sample, not sure much can be derived from that W-L record.
I will miss ol' 61. This is a great tribute.
Nice touch by the Sox to bring and present a #61 metal plate from the Green Monster.Quote:

The real deal, too, weathered and dented. It was really cool.Quote:

What is Irish day? I'm not a uniform guy, but I really hate the green ones.Quote:

Today is "Irish Heritage Day" at the ballpark. (I was unaware until I turned the game on.) They are wearing green jerseys, caps, and socks, but still have red undershirts, helmets, and catching gear.Quote:

So, it's something they invented to get more use out of the green unis beside just on St. Patrick's day. They need to stick them in a trash bag IMO.Quote:

I don't mind them on St. Patrick's Day, but I don't know why they are wearing them now. But I also don't know why they were wearing the "Los Rojos" jerseys last night, yet they don't wear German-themed "Roten" jerseys for Oktoberfest.Quote:
