Mahle laughing at poor Overton for not having any strikeouts yet through the 5th. Also wondering why he isn't being pulled, and then realized he's at 63 pitches through 5. Would love for him to make the connection.

Think Lopez goes down first because Reds are short of outfielders. But TJ is in the wings.

I'm not crazy about Friedl but at least he can field and hit the ball harder than Lopez

[Coopdaddy67]

Beautiful hitting by Stephenson.

[Ron Madden]

Reds lead 2-1

[SomeCallMeTim]

Beautiful hitting by Stephenson.

Still trying to figure why 4 people are batting ahead of our best hitter.

Pham, Naquin, Stephenson, MM

Trivia Question:

We all know that Jim Maloney no-hit the Cubs in 1965.

Maloney just missed throwing one on Opening Day of that year.

What team was it? and who was the hitter that broke up the no-hitter?

Answer coming after tonight's game

Hint the player that broke up Maloney's bid for a no-hitter on Opening Day 1965 later went on to play with The Big Red Machine

Eventually Overton's luck will run out but it's sure been a sight for sore eyes while it lasts.

This is when we start to learn if Connor Overton is more Dan Straily or Tim Adleman

So far, he’s looking more like Bronson Arroyo.

[Ron Madden]

I wonder where our friend that's obsessed with The Ohio Cup is tonight?

I am guessing Expos and the player Bob Bailey.

[Ron Madden]

Don't think the Expos were around in 1965

[goreds2]

Don't think the Exposure were around in 1965

oops, yes I think they arrived in 1969.

It's pretty shocking that the Reds middle IF depth at the MLB and AAA level are guys they picked up off the scrap heap after the season started. I know India, Solano, Shrock, and Barrero are out, but it's too bad they don't have even a middling prospect in the upper minors to give a look to instead of a guy like Reynolds.
