With Matt McLain starting at shortstop, Jose Barrero gets his first start in center field since April 29.

In his last game, Barrero reached base four times.

I assume from this that tonight is the debut of the Reds City Connect Uniforms

Lively vs. Schmidt… Not exactly Gullett vs Hunter

Aaron Judge is hitting .349/.463/.861 over his last 12 games with 6 HR over his last 6 games. So, uh, good luck tonight, Ben Lively.

It’s gonna be PPD anyway.

On the other hand, Judge has probably never faced Lively… at least since he was at AAA.

I’m thinking these new uniforms in the rain will play out a lot like that episode of Seinfeld where George gets the Yankees to switch to cotton uniforms.

“They’re running like penguins, forget this game. Mattingly just split his pants!”

I wonder if MLB is using the special Judge balls again - if that is the case, the Reds should be able to get a few homers as well - unless they decide those balls are only used for Judge. In any case, if I was a Reds pitcher, I'd just throw at him because I hate the Yankees. (and I know some of you are going to get mad at me for saying someone should throw at a player, etc... but you know, Yankees).

[Ron Madden]

I'm gonna kick back and enjoy the game, not real fond of the city connect uniforms. I don't like'em but don't hate'em, either, maybe I'll think differently when I see them all together on the field.

The main thing is how the Reds play the game anyway.

Would Love to win this series against The Evil Empire but don't wanna see anybody thrown at.

Enjoy the moments !!

A good number of Yankees fans arrived early at GABP. Aaron Judge just received an ovation after his round of pregame batting practice.

The Reds recalled RHP Alan Busenitz from Triple-A Louisville and placed RHP Derek Law on the IL with a right elbow sprain.

Law had been one of their most consistent relievers and filled a variety of roles, including as an opener.

This will be the first of many. Bullpen is overworked.

Unless the bases are loaded, no Reds pitcher should give Judge even a chance to put the bat on the ball. He'll hit one to Covington.
