    He's the guy they should have traded for way more than he's worth.

    Billy gets himself tossed arguing balls and strikes.. It was a bad call.

    Can't wait for robot umps.

    We won't be losing ball players who get ejected because of the inconpetence of these guys.

    But you know, we need the "human element".

    No idea how Peraza didn't catch that.

    Sal looked a lot better in the 4th and 5th. Still 4-0 Buccos after 5.

    I think that ejection is partially Price's fault. When Billy started jawing at the ump, Price should have come out and made Billy go to the dugout.

    That hurt, and I think you're right. He usually does that, but the umpire had a quick hook also.

    Reds not offering much resistance to Chad Kuhl.

    Nothing but bad news tonight. Disco injured again, Billy tossed and losing this game against a pitcher with nearly a 5 ERA. Depressing

    1-2-3 inning for Big Sal after Geno makes a slick play on the grounder that ricocheted off of Sal's leg.
