Hey guys, How’s everyone doing? This was a must see matchup. So I took my boys down and met up with some friends. Let me tell you this matchup and game did not disappoint. This game had just about everything you could ask for. It was missing a Reds HR though. The Reds got on the board early with their league leading 1st scoring differential. Lots of action on the offense. Seeing youngsters Senzel and Aquino drive in some runs. Castillo set a career high with 13 K’s. He was just masterful. The Reds finally have their Ace. Mike Trout’s 1st appearance at GABP didn’t disappoint either. 2-3 HR, SB and an error. Pujols and Ohtani both made PH appearances both K’d. The biggest thing is the Reds got the W. We got the free LaRosa’s small pizza for 11 K’s and even got on the Jumbotron.
This team has been fun to watch this year. Very inconsistent at times. Even after the trade they’re holding their own. It’s August and the Reds are still interesting.
Just wanted to chime in and see if anyone else caught the game.

I missed the game, but sounds like you and yours had a great time! We've not had an Ace since the Cueto trade and we've been on decline ever since (except for this season). Bad trades are bad trades, but some can cripple a team, like paying the wrong guy (Bailey). This FO seems to have a general plan and an idea what they are doing.
Hope you are doing well Clinz!

All is well on this side. I’m looking forward to the Cubs series this weekend. It would be nice to put a dent into the standings. With the Phillies loss last night that puts the Reds 4 games out of the 2nd wildcard slot. How about these pitching matchups. Talk about a heavyweight fight.
Hamels vs Woods
Darvish vs Bauer
Hendricks vs Gray
Lester vs Castillo
The key is the offense and BP. Let’s hope Peralta never sees the light of day on this team again. Let’s hope the DJ factor can help Gausman get back to some respectability in the pen. Let’s hope MLB doesn’t drop hammer on Garrett for this series.

Got that big W last night. That’s why you trade for a guy like Bauer. You can never have enough pitching. Another big pitching matchup today.
