The Reds have now won their last 8 games decided by 1 run. I mean, those are Jim Tressel blowouts. Chase Burns continues to amaze. Just looked totally dominant again tonight. Batting average record tracker: Hayes' BA is up to 0.145 after his sole plate appearance was GENEROUSLY credited as a...

Sorry @THEWOOD. Our last place team came in and whooped your first place team's ass and took the series. They'll probably fold now that they let something like that happen. Couple additional observations. After Sal Stewart homered in his first at bat, in his next at bat the White Sox pitcher...

Another potential record of futility brewing for the Reds...

Sorry @THEWOOD. Not even having a Pope night could save your team from blowing a 4-0 lead to ATOBTTR.

That's F'n sick. That kid has to have an expanded role just to see if any of that size, speed and strength translate to the field of play. I mean, he might get drafted based upon potential alone with those measurables. And let's not forget, he passes the look test. He looks good getting off...

As some of you may already know, my good friend Desmond like to wear what he calls a "satchel" (note what is in his left hand in the picture below). He also wishes he was European and he likes limp, undercooked bacon (as do many of you here per the What You've Eaten... Lately thread). His...

Let's see how tall he ends up and how he fills that frame out. Vargas already looks like he's taller than Stroud. I'm thinking we might have a Josh Allen type situation on our hands here.

That's a great thought. I had read that but forgotten to see if it is included for free. It is.

Do you have ESPN+? They have featured hole coverage - just saw him hit the best approach shot on hole #3 so far today, from the best side, and miss the extremely makeable birdie putt once again. This channel features holes 3, 12, 15 & 16 (so there will be a good chance to see him play a few...

@Jagdaddy had it correct. Shipley is at -4 under after 2 rounds (shot -3 today), putting him at T49 heading into the weekend. I watched some of Shipley's play last weekend and he is playing pretty well, just not finishing makeable birdie putts as often as he should. From the holes I saw, his...

The Reds had a chance to hit home runs at the plate, and they. They hit the home runs without anyone else on base. And that has made all the difference. - Herb Frost

LOL! Exactly.

It's getting a little dusty out there!

He's been playing great. Even his at-bats that haven't ended up as hits have been really hard hit balls (like the one that was scalded back to the pitcher today). He has been throwing runners out, and his ABS challenges on the Umps calls have been at the top of the league. Great dude in the...

Burns pitched like an ace again today - I think he struck out his last 5 batters. He might not have given up a hit or a run but for the weather being bad that inning for him. Offense showed up today as well, as they seem to do more often for Burns.
