Interesting, me like

[seawolf17]

I mean, hey. You want your leadoff guy to lead the team in OBP. I like it a lot.

[Edgy MD]

Canha in center is a little more surprising to me than Canha in the leadoff spot.



Also McNeil's first outfield gig since July 22, the week before the deadline deals.

Minor is a lefty so Nimmo gets a day off in the mix and match



Ruf is lethal against lefties



Keep the troops ready and rested

[roger_that]

Is Lindor at 3 or at 4?

[Benjamin Grimm]

I only see two names above his.

[Frayed Knot]

Nimmo (and also Pete) didn't look good last night.

Combine that with the LH starter and it's a good day for an off-day.

Lindor 3 Petey 4

[Frayed Knot]

Yeah, I didn't budget my night with a rain delay in mind.

Someone needs to let them know that this is most inconvenient for me and to get things going as quickly as possible.

[Edgy MD]

Getting under way, with apologies to Frayed Knot from Olmec rain god Jaguar.

Nice weather Reds batting

[kcmets]

Was it me, or was the first inning like a half hour?

[Edgy MD]

Seeing Barrero's and India's locks, I'm flashing back to the era when the Reds weren't allowed to wear long hair or facial hair.

[Lefty Specialist]

Frankie says relax!!!

[Edgy MD]

Nice to see him go deep from the right side.

[Edgy MD]

Tylor Megill draws Veteran of the Game duty.

[Edgy MD]

McNubbin going deep against lefties?



Everything is coming up Millhouse!

[Frayed Knot]

Chatter in the radio booth reveals that Wayne is repulsed by peanut butter.

[Edgy MD]

That's helpful to know!

[Edgy MD]

Fifth inning strikeout of the side!



India looking clueless all night.

[seawolf17]

Knew I liked you, Wayne.

[Edgy MD]

We've got another starting pitcher putting up goose eggs through six.

[Edgy MD]

And Cincinnati is treating us to a parade of Mets prospects who were dealt away while they were still minor leaguers.

[Edgy MD]

Amazing that Carrasco has struck out eight batters, but all have been on pitches that haven't actually been in the strike zone.



Hitting coaches, take note.
