Peralta was regularly hitting 98-99 tonight. I know they doesn't fit the narrative of "Reds make guy look like Cy" but dude was good. That changeup was dropping off a table too. Dude can pitch. I know it's hard to tell on TV, but I was there, and pretty close behind the plate. (Section 121) Dude had sick stuff tonight.
Everyone in the park was mad at the Votto review. I happened to check the thread here about an inning later and that was weird. It was like I knew something no one else knew.

FUN FACT: The best baseball players in history could only be bothered to step up and will success 35-40% of all their at bats. Baseball, the sport, needs to step up.
Coincidence or trend?

No. But I think players will and do realize that if I don't come through tonight the team will likely lose.
