Gotta keep the ball rolling for the rest of this road trip. Can't afford to give away any sure wins anymore.

Oscar Taveras's strikeout rate this season is at 11%. Bryce Harper and Mike Trout each were at 18% last season, while guys like Wil Myers, Billy Hamilton and Jurickson Profar are at 24, 18 and 17% respectively.

It's been eight years since a player has posted 250 total bases, .550 slugging percentage and a 11% or below strikeout rate while spending the entire year in AA and/or AAA. And the player that achieved that feat (Jason Kubel) was two years older than Taveras's age of 20.

I just want to take this post to point out that Lance Lynn was chosen as an NL All-Star game pitcher over Johnny Cueto. Lynn has now been demoted to the bullpen, whole Cy Cueto goes for his league leading 17th win tonight. :leake:

Blame the players, not La Russa. Players chose Lynn over Cueto.

About to lose two straight games to the Rockies :lol:

Didn't realize Domonic Brown was that slow. Took him forever to get to Shoppach's hit, allowed Wright to score the tying run.

Rolen's 15-pitch AB was longest of the year by a #Reds hitter, tied for 2nd longest in MLB this year (Juan Francisco went 16 v. Matt Garza)

Didn't see it, but my guess is that attendance is still down? Sad to say that even a season like this won't cure the apathy that some have for this team.
