Id rather a what a great game Gausman threw tonight one

[Benjamin Grimm]

They're not mutually exclusive.

[Centerfield]

If Junis is the long man tonight he's pretty good. Let's get to them early.

No, he's right. Only one thread per autumn, thanks to that damned Biden.

It's a shame that none of Mark Portugal, Al Holland, Brian Jordan, Germany Schaefer, Carlos Correa, or Chili Davis (OK, I'm starting to stretch here)

will be in the Cincy lineup tonight.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Not to mention Doug BosniaAndHerzegovina.

[Frayed Knot]

I didn't include him because he never advanced beyond High-A ball and being a star in the Appalachian rookie league only gets you so far.

[ashie62]

John Candy's daughter Jennifer is the actress in the Paxlovid commercial that runs through games and such

[ashie62]

It looks and sounds like a decent sized crowd gathering tonight



Leadoff single girl Linder



0-0

[ashie62]

Maybe Vientos, not Pete is the primary slugger in the lineup

[ashie62]

Manaea looks great after two

[ashie62]

Brandon Williamson on in relief. He has gotten six straight



0-0 in Atlanta bottom two

[ashie62]

Gelb's making a hostage video with Mendoza

[ashie62]

Which was more important than calling De La Cruz's game tying homer

[ashie62]

Being tied feels like playing from behind

[Frayed Knot]

The non-strike call on the 2-2 pitch to India hurt.

[ashie62]

I would not be upset if Pete sat a couple days a week

[Edgy MD]

I guess it's partially a product of him being kinda small, but T.J. Friedl's glove looks huge.



Like, Charlie Brown huge.

[ashie62]

Cmon Lindor

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Alvarez hates taking walks

[Edgy MD]

Still weird to play the Reds and not see Joey Votto and his barbwire scruff over at first.

[ashie62]

Lindor is human

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, it's weird to see him not get the most out of an at-bat.



Nice to get that double-play back in the top of the next inning. Elly can really fly down the line, and they got him by a hair.

[Edgy MD]

They really aren't touching Williamson, are they?



No hits off the guy, and I'm not recalling seeing any hard-hit balls.



Thank goodness for openers.
