And there is another stat, but I can’t specify.

 

LOL!

Go Reds. 

No hitter gone.

Dang, that changed quickly. 

Two in a row? Maybe

Guess not. Reds relievers don’t understand to not miss over the middle. 0-2 with 2 outs to a poor hitter and Iglesias throws it center cut

It's a win!

Go Reds. 

Two wins in a row? This is uncharted territory.

The Reds were unable to put together a winning streak, but Votto has homered in two straight games now. Hopefully that is a sign that he's heating up.

He’s about 70% calibrated. Looking to take everything oppo drives me crazy but it’s how he gets going. To take that perfect center cut pitch and not drive it over Cf fence or even RCF....but he’s close. I wish he’d attack a smidge more and jump on some poorly placed strikes, but he’s definitely on the way to being the Joey we know.

I expect him to be .950+ OPS every month the rest of the way.

Just got out of a meeting in an office that overlooks the ballpark. It looks like there might be 1000 people milling around right now.

Awesome afternoon though. I’d love to be there.

It is a beautiful day, it certainly wouldn't be a bad day to sit as close as you wanted to the field.

Reds bats have come alive tonight. And Mahle has 11 strikeouts through 6. And there is another stat, but I can’t specify.

Joey and Scooter went back to back for their first HRs of the year in the 5th. 

They showed a stat that this yr in the first time through the lineup he has struck out nearly half the batter's he faced.

After that...almos4 equally unimpressive. 

Down 2 early. ..Jim day with the radio call

Votto with another HR.

Another loss as they blow it late.

Votto starting to heat up.

On pace for what.......low 30s in wins? Top pick is a lock but do we just root for having a Brownesesque season and just accept a total shitshow?  

What the hell is going on in this Reds/Brewers game? It's 10-8 in the 5th inning. There's been 16 (SIXTEEN) scoring plays, and only 2 of them was for more than 1 run.

Crazy defense mishaps and terrible terrible pitching. Both teams missing over the plate and hitting are blowing up StatCast. Logan Morrison hit the hardest ball I’ve seen all year. Votto HR in 4 straight, Billy nearly an inside the park HR.....but the story is shorty pitching.

Reds 2-5 hitters went 14-18 and reached base a combined 18x

Over under 37.5 wins?

Way over. They'll win at least 60.
