    June 19, 2016. MIke Fiers got the win, Gattis and Valbuena (RIP) both went yard, and Devo came out of the bullpen for the rare 10-out save.

    We are well past time. For some reason, the middling Reds always amp it up against us.

    Haven't seen the actual lineup- but that sounds like fun. Espada needs to be put on a rocket and fired into the sun.

    If Smith isn’t nursing an injury it is utterly stupid for him to be playing so sporadically.

    Smith has to be hurt. Nothing else makes sense.

    No way Espada still has a job if Smith is 100% healthy, right?

    The GM should fire the manager if the DH spot is used lower than five

    DH’n a guy whose only valuable asset is his glove is a wild way to do lineup.

    I don’t understand why he’s allergic to playing Denz and Cam together. But here we are, DH’n freaking Rodgers.

    I don’t hate Rodgers.. but if you aren’t going to use him in the field then you don’t play him. It’s that simple.

    I think Joe might be hitting the crack pipe before making some of these lineups

    F is also a win but a "forfeit" by the Reds because they can't take getting bodied by Jake* three games in a row.

    *"Bodied by Jake" only works if you remember Jake Steinfeld.
