On pace to win by infinity.

Crowd being a little rough on the rookie.

This is about as rough a start as you can have to a career. Sheesh

Phillie fans being supportive of a struggling player and Reds fans giving the Bronx cheer to a rookie. Bizarro world.

wasn't there a year where we got off to a start, came roaring down the stretch, and missed the playoffs by a couple of games?

This is starting to feel like that kind of year.

Crews just went yard in Fredricksburg.

Ok….maybe we don’t cut him after all.

We might have something in Alu. Too bad we can't develop 24th round draft picks into quality major league players.

Time for his first big league knock

Does Rizzo get the credit for Lane Thomas or does that belong to someone else? Just trying to keep score here

Masterful trade. As is Rizzo's tradition.

Irvin is pitching with a lot of confidence right now. He's earned a spot in the rotation next year IMHO.

sure looked safe.

They don't like having their time wasted. Sunday is a big day for doing Cincinnati things like putting chili on spaghetti

Jake and Patty been hanging out too much

This went sideways in a hurry.

Give me all the stolen bases.

Bad Call. With Lane up, why the double steal of home?

Thomas shows why that was dumb.
