    Let's get Castillo the win now.

    Ervin will probably play more in September. I guess?

    I fully anticipate Billy getting hurt in the immediate future.

    If Hamilton platooned next season, whom would he split plate appearances with?

    The outfield is pretty full. Duvall is ging to hit 35 homers + and 100+ RBI. Schebler has been hot. Hamilton is the weak link except for defense, but you and i and the great multitudes know that they're not going to bench Billy. Where does Ervin play? I don't know.

    Well, that's what those words mean. He was here. If they don't keep him, he will have been lost/subtracted. I headed out the door today with two shoes on my feet. If I don't return with them, I have lost them. If I do return with them, I haven't added them. ---M2

    Do you have something planned? Are you dressing up like a patomine villain or the Noid while carrying out this plan? Or Are you going Jeff Gallolie on Billy?

    Billy will probably sit when he wins the SB title then get the same mysterious hip pointer that Winker got.

    Peralta in for his Darrold Knowles role as the LH Mike Marshall.

    Wandy being left in against a right handed hitter. Let's see how this works out.

    Not looking too good for our Redlegs, gotta keep it a one run game in the 9th.

    After our recent brouhaha about including pitchers batting stats in their WAR, the Reds are going to lose a game 1-0 on a home run by the opposing pitcher.
