I'm not worried. The Reds are going to put these suckers in their place again tonight.

Reds have done well this series. Can't let an opportunity like that go by. On the positive side miller threw a bunch of pitches.
Crowd still looks paltry. What the heck are people doing in the Cinci metro area? I live 2+ hours away. It is just tough to get down there and back home on a weeknight for me.
That was a touching Extra gum commercial.
There are no hunting accidents...It's called kharma.
Heisey is Exhibit A why OPS is a composite stat that has to be viewed with care. It doesn't necessarily tell the whole story.
He has 8 walks in 212 PAs this year. His OBP was .288 coming into the game.
Heisey does have very good power. On occasion, he will have a good SLG season. That will give him a respectable OPS.
Whether that kind of player should be starting in left field and hitting fifth, well, it's a matter of taste. Some baseball folks like that kind of guy, even with the low OBP.
I like this productive Cozart better than the one we saw for most of the first four months of the season.

I am almost afraid to look at Cozart's BABIP during this hot streak of his. Was he due for hits to start falling?
