    Price is a very good pitcher, it's really unfortunate they had to face him at this stage.

    I'm confident the Reds will score tomorrow.

    Now it has become the complete opposite.
    It's completely bizarre. I think about it all the time.

    Edwin Encarnacion seems to be hitting just fine in Toronto.

    Yep, and it only took him 3 years and being DFA'd twice to reach the levels he is at now.

    And you were. Zack thanks you, I'm sure.

    Reds fans are generally quite nice. Everyone here thinks the fans are too critical. Can you imagine a playoff contender with this kind of sit-still off-season in some markets?

    He was traded for from texas...and while he did develop in the Reds system for a couple of years..... he was never this good, not enough to offset his sketchy defense.

    Toronto was able to make him a better hitter.

    Maybe it'll throw him out of his rhythm.
    This is the ol Left Hander rounding third and heading for home.

    Price challenged but loses the challenge as Phillips was not close to being hit by that pitch

    Heisey is even worse.
    That last at bat Cozart took one down the middle for strike one. then swung at a ball low and grounded out. It's as if he makes up his mind before seeing the pitch whether he's going to swing or not.

    He wasn't developed or drafted by the Reds. They traded Rob Bell for him.
