20 years ago today Adam Dunn hit an ultimate grand slam to push the #Reds into a first place tie entering July. One of the most memorable highlights of my Reds fandom…

Let’s see, one took over a juggernaut 5-star factory in its prime (and won 1 Natty in 8 years) while the other inherited the worst program in the history of football, went 11-2 in year 1 and won the first modern 16-0 Natty in year 2, all with zero 5-stars. Very tough choice!

I spent the first five innings of this #Reds game compiling 82 seconds of funny Joey Votto soundbites to help make your night "more better" as Joey might say.

Enjoy.

Pulling off the ball is the #1 issue hitters struggle with. (they would agree)

To fix it, you don't need to try harder or swing slower.

Schwarber proves that. He hits the longest home runs without coming off the ball.

How to correct it: Shoulder in, chin and face in on the ball and swing the bat over your front shoulder. Then hold the finish (Arraez swing and finish drill he did in the video)

It's worked WONDERS for hitters I've used it with when they need it.

Never could’ve imagined Hall having this type of in-game power that he’s shown early in his career.

Really good to see. 18 XBH in 31 games. With his speed/defense floor, it’d be awesome if the bat was more advanced than originally thought. #Reds

After some thought, I think if you can swing it, you need to getting the MVP+ membership for CFB 27 dynasty. If you are a competitive dynasty player, you will be at a disadvantage without “Rainmaker” or “Visionary” Coach packages, as well as the +150 coach points.

Here’s my reasoning

- these packages are very similar to CEO in the sense that are 1 off packages with large bonuses, and no wasted costs scaling up the tiers.

- they are free to unlock, and combined with the fact that you get an extra +150, it’s basically a day 1 unlock for players.

- I think at least 3 of the visionary packages will be in my final coach build. It pairs very very with what I will be trying to do with talent developer and maximizing dynasty points

- I see all 4 of rainmaker’s packages being useful. It will pair with my support staff and trying to maximize my dynasty points.

- I think rainmaker will be great for both small and big schools, while visionary be slightly lean big schools at least for “pro pipeline”

I think at bare minimum 5/8 of these packages will be in my final coach build, with potential for 7/8. That alone makes this a must grab for serious dynasty players.

Per FanGraphs, a "meltdown" is when a reliever's win probability added is -0.06 or worse in a game (i.e., they lowered their team's win probability by 6% or more).

The Reds' bullpen now has 35 meltdowns since May 1, by far the most in baseball. Tigers are the next closest at 27.
