  1. Big David Bell day today. Perfectly managed the pitchers. Called the right pinch hitter at the right time. Didnt eff around at the end, let Diaz slam it. Even got TySTeve an inning off. Good stuff Belly.

  2. Bullpen sat down 16-straight. Holy shit I could get used to that. All we need to do now is okay the Pirates for the next 160 games.

  3. #And this one belongs to the Reds

    Great game and an impressive outing by the bullpen. India looks ROTY season good and I’m impressed by Fraley and Newman.

  4. Went from Lodolo, who pitched well but inefficiently, to a bullpen that averaged nearly 10 pitches per inning.

  5. You guys liking the 2 hr 15 min games? I’m not a fan, especially if I was paying to go to the game. I suspect that the ballpark is making way less on concessions with the game being shorter already. I’m not sure how making the fan experience last shorter than a basketball game is supposed to bring new fans.

  6. Alexis Diaz is so good. I can’t wait to see the 19 year old shortstop prospect we get for him in 2025

  7. I know it’s only been two games, but the pitch clock is the best thing to happen to baseball in years and years.

  8. Kind of wish the game had lasted longer. One thing I like about baseball is I can just have it on the TV in the background for an afternoon

  9. Just got done ordering a 20 game ticket package and was so focused I forgot to put on the game. Whoops.

  10. Man if this team was good that picture of India in the Viking helmet would end up being infamous I think.
