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.

That's a truly awesome keepsake.

I don't understand what this means. What sort of metal plate? Can't find anything on it.

The plates that the Red Sox hang on the manual scoreboard on the Green Monster. They brought the #61 plate that they hang to identify the uniform number of the pitcher in the game.

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

Would it kill the Reds to spring for green undershirts and helmets on Irish Day?

What is Irish day? I'm not a uniform guy, but I really hate the green ones.
All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!
Bogaerts just sneaks a double down the 3B line, goes to third on passed ball and scores on a sac fly.

Thought we were working on development here, why walk an #8 hitter early in a game to face the pitcher?

The more likely answer as to why the green uniforms is fan sales. I don't like them either, but I remember them wearing them way back once per year on St. Patty's day.

I would much much much prefer them wear throwbacks than the green, camo, and Rojos jerseys. And I agree with Big Klu, Cincinnati is known for its German heritage. Why not German instead of Irish? Other than they already have them, which would be a cheap explanation.

Only a walk for Suarez for offense for the Reds through the first three.
