Keeps getting hurt the first of Sept and it’s cost him 2 GG because Inciarte is outstanding and Billy missing 25 games...I guess.

Billy is the best CF in baseball and that is a big statement because the AL is loaded with outstanding CFers and a few great ones in NL too. Few give him credit for his quick release an great arm as well.

Those damn injuries have cost him 3 SB titles too

Yes damnit lol...Mr Reading see it guy

I like watching the Reds smack the Cards around. 

Just dominating at St Louis

This is the best last place team ever. Can’t remrmber the last time I’ve been so happy with virtually every Reds player

Got Matheny fired lol.

Reds have gotten two managers fired this year

Reds took the lead for about a second. Disappointing 4th inning for Descalfani, now down 5-3.

Just don’t have it today. Duvall hit a grand slam but called foul. Slo mo showed it grazing bottom of foul pole....ended up getting a single. Scooter missed a no doubter by a foot.

Just bleh.

Scooter is NL leading hitter at the break. Baez passed up Suarez in rbi

Please don't trade Scooter.

Castellini likes him...I doubt he gets traded. Reds have a bit of big league ready stockpiled trade able players.

Need starting pitching but I’m not a GM wannabe. I have no desire to trade all-star production for hopeful all-star production in 2022

Reds are a year away from competing. Be really stupid to trade young guys that you’ve been waiting to produce the way they are now. 

This is golden

Somebody was reporting they were working on an extension for Scooter. Can’t remember who it was, but I know I saw something the other day.

Mark Sheldon I believe ...then Jayson Stark upped the validity with a similar report

There is a lot of big velocity in the Futures Game, but, hands down, the hardest thrower was Reds righty Hunter Greene. Greene's fastball averaged -- averaged! -- 101.3 mph Sunday. He topped out at 103.1 mph and his slowest heater was 100 mph on the nose.

Trammell, the Futures Game MVP, went 2 for 2 with a triple and a home run Sunday. The cameras caught Trammell admiring the triple a bit thinking it would be a home run. Maybe could've been an inside-the-park homer had he run out of the box, but hey, I'm not here to judge. An inside-the-parker would've been cool though.

Looking forward to these guys making their way to Cincinnati.
