@MrFlaspohler @LanceMcAlister Someday.

@MrFlaspohler @LanceMcAlister Turn off TV -- listen to J.J. Cale. 🤣

Best medicine.

[AftermidnightDC @AftermidnightDc]

@LanceMcAlister Here is a novel idea.
Stop drafting "athletic short stops."
Maybe draft a guy who knows how to freakin' play 2B.

Hey - anyone remember Trammell and Whitaker ?

[AftermidnightDC @AftermidnightDc]

@CharlieG__ You could almost make a case that Edwin Arroyo at 2B has been responsible for Reds giving up 8 runs in last 2 days. EIGHT !!! I can understand the utter frustration of both Burns and Singer.

[AftermidnightDC @AftermidnightDc]

@LanceMcAlister How much of the blame is on Francona at this point ?
EVERY fan knows Arroyo kills the Reds playing 2B.
The Cowboy flat-out said the other day "we can't even turn a double play." (with Arroyo)
It's even more maddening -- when it is SO predictable.
🤬🤡😜🤓🤬

[AftermidnightDC @AftermidnightDc]

@PapaJoesBucket @LanceMcAlister Yes, seems his OBP would be higher if he never even swung the bat 🤪

[AftermidnightDC @AftermidnightDc]

@DavidSBrown_13 @LanceMcAlister Not only a long and weak swing, but an absurd upper-cut for a singles hitter. His approach makes ZERO sense.

[AftermidnightDC @AftermidnightDc]

@LanceMcAlister Really Nice win for a bullpen game - J. Franco was great. Glad for Ivan Johnson - guy might be our best second sacker. Funny tho -- every time I watch Reds game our announcers say "Joe Bloe (the opponents SP) just set a new career K record." That's probably not good, right ?

[AftermidnightDC @AftermidnightDc]

@JDowellKY @Reds 0-4 . Pretty sure 4 easy pop-ups. 🙄

[AftermidnightDC @AftermidnightDc]

@LanceMcAlister Side-saddle = no good.

[AftermidnightDC @AftermidnightDc]

@LanceMcAlister Friedl and Arroyo.
I know it's a Team game.
But feel sorry for Chase and Sal - they both give 110 %.
How is is possible for Arroyo to have made it thru the Reds' minors, and he's never learned to move his feet and get in front of the ball ? Absurd.

It seems young people in the United States need to see how the young people who lived under communism celebrated it's demise.

[AftermidnightDC @AftermidnightDc]

@LanceMcAlister It is amazing how none of those 5 can hit a high fast ball. They either swing under and miss it or just pop it up. Yet on a low fast ball or slider they all have this long looping weak swing and bloop it to an outfielder. Can of corn. And a CURVE ball ... lol FGDAI.

@cincybuffs @Reds @Cardinals CES has 9 RBIs in 24 At Bats.
K. Hayes has 5 RBIs in 140 At Bats.

That worked out really good for us.

@Reds @PNCBank REDS --- Good luck scoring any runs tonight. Bottom 4 in Lineup - Marte, Friedl, Arroyo and Hayes.

@k2cyobro @TheFigen_ It will most likely be YOU then. LOL 😂🤣🤡

[AftermidnightDC @AftermidnightDc]

@cincybuffs Not only is Burns perhaps the best Pitcher in the MLB right now, it is almost worthy of a psychological study why the Reds hitters/fielders play so much better when he pitches. (His passion and aggression impacts the entire team, obviously.) Definition of a Leader.
