I continue to be flabbergasted as to how, or why, Tomlin is still with this team...it’s mind boggling 

The thought of Titos loyalty bringing him into a crucial postseason inning gives me nightmares

Would Zach Britton prevail in a change of scenery?  He has been awful this year

He has only been back for like 2 weeks. Small sample size. Injury would be a concern for sure, but nothing in his past suggests he will be this bad on an outing to outing basis.

Chisenhall is out for "an extended period of time"

Miller back sometime after all star break

Machado would be luxury to sit Kipnis 

They need a corner if Chiz is out extended and one more arm for the 7/8th inning even if Miller is healthy before going in on Machado

 

95% chance they will be the 3 seed in the AL, so no urgency right now except health

Should’ve been a 2-1 series. 

Todays game was frustrating from the second batter, when Lindor lost the ball in the sun on a pop up.

Lindor lost a ball in the sun? I argued for about 5 pages with an asshole on RedsZone about how the sun can get to any player...if it’s directly into the sun, it won’t be caught. Sucks but true.

Yeah. A’s lost one as well. Both teams lost a few more, but recovered and caught them. It was brutal today with no clouds.

A lot of fans that haven’t played OF just can’t understand any part of it.

That soft tossing batting practice meatball throwing "pitcher" is the bane of my existence. I have disliked him forever.

Indeed, I wanted you guys to. Not much Reds discussion for a Reds thread but picking up some.

I will note the Tribe swept two series when I started threads and I think are 7-2 when I started.
