Would be nice to see 2018 Scooter.

[Ron Madden]

I don’t think I’d bat Scooter in the middle of the order until he starts hitting major league pitching again.

[NebraskaRed]

Good to see that Senzel is apparently okay.

[cumberlandreds]

Back in business. Here's to good 2nd half.

#54 Sonny Gray .359 ERA 103 K’s
vs
#55 Jon Gray .392 ERA 115 K’s

[Big Klu]

I still say, "boo!", to the pitcher batting 8th. (Michael Lorenzen is the only Reds pitcher I would possibly make an exception for.)

Lorenzen would be it for me, too. I don't even like to see Bell PH for him.

Will there be rain and skies of gray?

[Kc61]

Really hoping Winker and Gennett get going now.

Those are the two guys who can get this offense moving forward IMO.

you're a traditionalist, klu, which is why you're my favorite poster.

Agree. I really don’t understand the strategy especially with Casali in the nine hole.

Only a dumbBell would do such a thing.

I agree in this case. I only like it when we have an OB challenged lead-off type hitting 9th. Hamilton was a natural. If Peraza was in there, him too. Not anybody else really.

[Kingspoint]

Can't remember the last time we came out of the All-Star break on a roll (5 in a row or 8 of 10).

Would surely live to see it happen.

As far as the Golf Thread, we need to start nailing Birdies and toss in an Eagle or two, while avoiding Sub-Par Golf at all costs.

Don't know if we were in the middle of a hole, but winning 7 of 10 to begin the 2nd Half is absoulutely critical.

Can't rememember the last time the Clubhouse had a sense of urgency after the break. Always seems like they are more anxious to collect their paychecks.
