4 1/2 back of WC

Great. Here comes a losing streak.

I think the crazy thing about the 4.5 back (or whatever it is after last night) is that even being that close, they still have to pass 6 teams to be the #2 wild card. One hell of a traffic jam of mediocrity in the NL --- makes it even more depressing my Pirates forgot how to do everything after the break in order to join Miami in the "WTF guys...WTF..." group of shit.

Ton of teams but winning the 1 run games and continue winning series and Sept will be fun

The division is almost more in play than the WC, I would think. 

This series with the Cubs is HUGE. A sweep would be monumental either way, but I'm predicting a split. Reds win Friday and Sunday or Saturday and Sunday. I think I might try to go on Saturday night, I don't think I've seen Gray pitch in person yet.

I think I have Reds on tv. Got my sister’s spectrum password for Fox Sports Go and downloaded on my fire stick.

Fingers crossed

Got it....cant slo mo like Dish and its about 70 seconds behind live but I got it! 😀👏

Aquino 2/2 with a 2B, HR, and 3 RBI so far tonight.

Joey can’t take that pitch. Even if it was outside (It wasn’t), it was way too close. 2nd this game he’s been called out looking on pitches he thought were outside. 

With bases loaded

Bell's hard-on for putting Hernandez in when it's a key situation kills you again.

Reds bring in Farmer and he throws 40 mph and gets 4 outs....Baez batted lefty and it was awesome

Ervin 4-5 including 2 line drive hits off righties

He wont start tomorrow.

He’s hitting .366 with OPS over 1.000

Can I rep myself?

Bell double switched and put Peraza at SS for Iglesias...immediately didn’t make two plays he should have and cost several runs

so Bell has him at SS tonight and 4-5 Ervin on bench

Bauer 7 K through 3 innings

About 15 ridiculous swings

And Peraza is 0-3 off the pitchers and Iglesias 3-8

Hernandez was released today. 

Bauer was awesome

Stuck out 11 through 7 innings on 3 hits....he was locked in

Aquino....holy fuck

3rd HR of the game and it’s the 4th inning

7 HR in 9 1/2 games

Dude, is this kid legit or just a flash in the pan? Obviously this pace is unsustainable, but he had a great year in AAA and is smoking the ball in the bigs so far.

All I’ve heard is that he’s the real deal. Now it’s just a waiting game til he comes back to down to Earth a bit. But man, it’s fun.
