Cincinnati Reds (2025 is our year! Haha thats actually funny)

Braves 5 Cincinnati Reds 4 (11) innings.

Drake Baldwin singled in the winning run in the 11th inning as the Braves walked off the Reds for yet another gut punch loss.

I know Tito’s got the HOF rep but his use of the bullpen and the same old Reds finding ways to lose adds up to not impressing me much.
I thought Asscrack has been reliable in the first inning of his appearances. And the Reds only used one reliever, compared to the cowards' 4, going into the 9th. Tito seemed like a genius. Then asscrack wet himself.

On the other hand, ashcraft has generally not had much command of the strike zone his entire career, and any closer simply must consistently throw strikes.

Just get 3 fucking outs against the bottom part of their lineup. I was thinking he could handle it.
