Nice start. 

We have the worst SS and 1B in MLB...mixed with 2 well below average outfielders 

To make up for it we shift Goldy up the middle at 2nd and throw him a fastball on the outside corner. How TF is that supposed to work?

India looks like Jesus.

Nice start. 

Friend who moved out to Colorado asked me if it was on TV and if MLB (Extra Innings, I think?) was doing the "first week free" deal they'd done in the past today. I told him they were and he said he already had it lined up. Man, he might not ever talk to me again unless they can complete this attempt at a comeback (if that's what you call scoring 3 straight after getting down 11-3).

That’s Mike Leake you moron

Caught the last couple of innings.

Who is that turd announcer who had that red blazer and tie on that he purchased from goodwill before the game?

Barrly Larkin get issued knee pads with the job offer? Listen to him talk, which I love some Larks, and man he sounded like the team was up 25-0 with how impressed he was...

161-1 is still in reach

Larkin more tolerable today. Like the Red jerseys

Nick Castellanos just became a Reds favorite

Nick Castellanos just became a Reds favorite

Live in the Nati, not a Reds fan, and now I Love that guy. 

Fuck the Cardinals. 

Reds will lose 6-4.

Also, know nothing about current players but Castellanos is now my favorite.

Reds are rocking and Castellanos is our hero.

Naquin welcomed himself with a ball halfway up the RF deck.

Good for Naquin!

Go Reds!

Castellanos suspended 2 game. Holy Shit.

He’s appealing.

Agree, Good to see him doing well.

Struggled at the plate from time to time, suffered from injury, but was a gamer. Played all 3 outfield positions pretty well.

For some reason, it seemed to me that he didn't really click with Tito and /or the GM.

Reds might have an offense. 

Naquin with 4 homers already?

Wow!

I think Gardens35 is right on his thoughts about Naquin and management.

Instead we have Luplow and Gamel leading off now.  :-(

How many players have to thrive after leaving before we admit the tribe hitting philosophy throughout the organization is garbage? Naquin is just adding to the list of Yandy, Aquilar, etc.

Anyway, didn’t mean to hijack. Go Reds!

6-1....best record in baseball 

Jay Bruce is retiring.

In "this is fucking stupid, but it's MLB, so, yeah" news, the Nick C. suspension was upheld. Apparently annoying Yadi and making him start a benches-clearing incident is about as serious a crime as you can commit under Manfred's watch — at least more deserving of punishment than, you know, cheating to win in the postseason or minor-league stuff like that.

The Reds loss could not have been more minor league

I seriously think the reds are 2-9 when I’ve been able to watch.

That pitcher in the 9th couldn’t throw 2 strikes in 6 pitches...proved it to every hitter. Bases loaded and Castellanos was aggressive and swung at 2 pitches out of the zone....would’ve tied the game. Suarez wailed at 2 pitches that weren’t close then took strike 3 down the middle.

Atrocious at bats by the 2 guys supposed to get it done. Awful

Hopefully Votto can chase down Cal

Man...the Reds blow.

Only saving grace is that Votto ranks top 10 in MLB in at bats 

Joey playing in his 50th consecutive game today.

He can make a run at Cal
