Wild swings at horrible pitches, reminding me of Aquino. Why would pitchers throw him anything resembling a strike?
Fraley is a very good defender….he could play 1st and Votto is one of the lowest rated defensive players in the league.I wonder if he's rooming with Aquino
Can Fraley play 1B? That was some power displayed there.

At least our Reds are showing life
If striking out the side on 9 pitches is an Immaculate Inning, is a batter striking out 3 times on 9 pitches known as Immaculate Sombrero?
Senzel with way too big of a swing for strike 2 on a middle, middle pitch setting himself up for a K. Trying to do to much! Fraley's HR went to his head and he forgot there was a fresh pitcher in.
Jim Croce could have had a hit with that.

Kuhnel not off to an auspicious start.

Votto in "no error" mode!
Votto was NOT in fielding position on the pitch!!! Standing almost straight up, no creep, no set position ready for every possible direction.

Re watch it and look at his pre pitch and during pitch set up….completely lazy and unassuming ball his way.

Luis Castillo is so frickin' good!
He's so fun to watch.
[Unfortunately, Winker left last night's game with back spasms and looks to miss several games, right when he was starting to hit again and with power (I think he leads the American League in Walks) after Castillo's arrival].

I can't fathom why AA or JB would EVER get a fastball anywhere NEAR the strike zone.

This has 0 chance of ending well
Mets’ blue and orange uniform colors are originally from Dodger blue and Giant orange when the Mets joined the NL in 1962.

Sucks
India's reaction there. A step or two behind. The inning should be over.
