Hey, your first baseman makes more than the entire Astros team.
I expect we will drafting from the top spot this year and next year at least.
But, we will surprise some folks, just like we did the Rangers on opening night!!
As for the Reds, it seems they won the series.
Cha-ching!!! 😵

MLB needs to implement a "mercy rule" if the Reds are going to be this good; why embarrass the Washington National players and their parents like Friday night?
The Nationals won't be "that bad" every night.
Too bad they didn't get to feed Cincy Strasberg and Gonzales.
Then the Reds would have been more timid like they were against Weaver.

Originally posted by no1marauderI tip my hat to the Reds. They beat Strasburg, and not many will.
Blew a 5-1 lead in the eighth though; the Nats D was pretty bad.
Cueto v. Strasburg today. Pull up a chair and a 12 pack of Stella.
Washington got to Cueto a bit, but the Reds won it when they got to Strasburg a second time in the 6th inning.

All I can say is that I'm in hog heaven!!
My main concern is Votto. Is he still hurt? I can only imagine what this team would be doing right now if he plays like he did before he got injured last year.
The scary thing is that even though he seems to be struggling a little they have won 2 series now against some of the best teams in baseball.

Originally posted by whodeyI think JV is fine health wise. He's struggling a bit though he did have a game winning hit in the Angel series and a big triple on Saturday. Opposing pitchers seem to think he's healthy; they've walked him 8 times already in just 6 games.
