And tonight in the last 3 innings the plate ump was awful and baiting Counsell lol and I guess we are even now

Robots should verify balls and strikes. Fuck the human element. We have the tech now. Use it.

No.  Just no.  Use the tech to evaluate, and hold umpires/refs more heavily accountable.  Suspend him, fine him, take away games... but don't let a robot take over.  Just no.

Problem with the "more heavily accountable" idea is the umpire union. They've always been insanely protective of their guys. I mean, the simple fact that Angel and Cowboy Joe are allowed to be on fields says they'll fight tooth and nail to pretend that being a MLB ump equals being better than Jesus and above all criticism.

Negged in retaliation.

Nice win tonight. 

Another great team win

I’ll suggest that was not only Suarez best swing of the season, but maybe his life.

A 430 ft oppo HR in a tie game in the 9th on road vs Hader

Congrats to the Reds for being MLB’s hottest team in the last ten games (8-2).

Have won 26 of last 40….guessing that top 3, maybe best

This is a fun team to watch

Please forgive me, as I know i just jinxed them.

The Reds suck.

It's the all-star break. There is no jinx for the next three days.

Leaving Reds game and I think someone jumped off the Newport bridge….like 20 police cars and 3 boats shining light in water

Close to edge of water….stuck in mud hesring

Did Fri and Sat games and 3 rows off RCF wall both games….Sat had a late delay and when returned sat 3 rows behind dugout and it took me about 5 min to figure out who I was sitting very close to….but it was a clean cut, slightly bulked up, no goatee Mike Leake and his trophy wife. That was pretty cool.

Stadium was rocking a good bit both games but ended poorly.

Easily the most ridiculous and avoidable loss of the season.

Keep hitting Suarez in RBI spots and keep using 5+ relief pitchers and you’ll continue to lose in idiotic fashion.

This team makes me want to punch a baby.

Again!?

Brutal today

Big win

Nother one. 

Bell and the bullpen….and poor plate approaches

Amir and Baez may be going at it soon. Holy Smokes

Votto slowly putting together a solid season at age 37. He has his AVG up tp .276 and has homered in 5 straight games. He can realistically hit 30 HRs this season if he can stay on the field.

lol he homered again when I posted that.

The ball is huge and slow to him right now….OPS over .900

Winker/Votto/Farmer all on fire

India/Stephenson great rookies

Added 3 relievers

Pretty likeable team I’d say
