    I'm not saying the Reds will win this game (with the way they've been playing, who can tell), but I'm not buying this idea that the Cubs are suddenly good again.

    They just beat up on the Pirates.

    Who did they play before that? The last place Twins.

    Before that? They lost a series against the White Sox, a good team.

    Before that? The last place Rockies.

    Twins might be in last place but they have been hurt all season. They just got back Buxton and Donaldson their 2 best players. They are not the same team they were a month ago. They also just took 2 of 3 from the Brewers, TB and the White Sox. Rockies are also playing way better of late and recently took 2 of 3 from the Dodgers, swept the Padres and split with the Braves recently. Teams are in flux all season long for a variety of reason and it would behoove the Reds not to look past this Cubs team. No one said the Cubs are good but they are clearly not in the same god-awful category as the Pirates.

    Cubs are terrible. But dangerous. They have a few hitters that are on fire. Playing for starting jobs or at least bench spots on next years roster. But the Reds need to win this series. Not making excuses for the Reds. They need to take the series. Time is running out.

    Let's not forget Larkin's words of wisdom at the end of yesterday's game: the Reds should start winning games instead of losing games.

    What young guys? Barrero is in AAA. Could he help maybe, maybe not. Few if any team would put a rookie who has not been with the team since the start of the season in the lineup in a playoff race. If your talking Lopez he can't hit a ball hard. He is a 4A/fringe major leaguer Shogo part 2.
    I haven't heard you call for Shogo of late. You must have finally realized what nearly everyone here tried to tell you. Shogo can't hit. Thank goodness they didn't bench or even send down Naquin like you were calling for back in June.

    Today would be a good time to fix the sinking ship.

    "Be aggressive early" seems to be the plan today. Not much luck with that, so far.

    Both Stephenson and India are struggling a bit. First time playing the 162 game grind for them.

    I love watching Castellanos play. Guy hustles non stop.

    Ugh. They really need to get Barrero up and move Farmer to 3B vs. LHPs.

    I forgot to shut the TV sound off when Suarez was up.

    I try not to listen to to the announcers talk about him. Insufferable in my view.

    Imagine it is orders from Bob.

    Small sample. But Schwindel looks to be a great hitter.
