    Pivetta throwing a great 4 innings other than being in position to field a ball hit at him, and the 2 HR cookie pitches. Not sure where his future is going. A #4 or 5 on a good staff ?

    Smith must have read my post. File that under SOLO.

    7 solo HR's so far in this series.
    When they go low, we go solo.

    BTW, I would not call you an apologist.

    I think you are dead on. I think it is more about this than JH going greedy.

    What good businessman would continue using a failing plan?

    You are correct, Arte Moreno's team in Anaheim has a terrible record of issuing really bad contracts ( Josh Hamilton, Rendon) or gets bitten by two of the best players in baseball missing extended periods while under contract ( Trout, Ohtani ( TJS))

    No reason to not beat this Cincinnati team. Time to wake up the bats after avoiding a bad inning. Thanks Brennan B. Good move on De La Cruz with Devers running him down

    Back to Pivetta being Pivetta. 4.1 innings, 3 runs, including 2 HRs, and 96 pitches.

    With a BP game tomorrow, Nick did not help the cause in any manner. He needs to be better

    I was really hoping he’d show he was back in the groove.

    Sadly, he was not.

    The Great Karnak has spoken---In the top 7, Yoshida will bounce a ground ball to the 2Bman. But beat it out for a hit. Trying to stay positive on him

    No, the samurai actually hit a useless fly ball . 3 for 25 in last 7 games, .120/.345 . Keeps me thinking that his thumb is truly affecting his hitting. Cora or FO pushing him as the regular DH is explainable , if not agreeable, but it is hurting the team at this point.

    Reds running the bases like a Little League team.

    That might be the best we can expect!

    Sox are in the danger zone, trailing by 1 late in Cincinnati who are now 31-1 when leading after 6. The series is on the line.

    Not a rocket by Refsnyder but very effective at bringing in the tying run and sending Duran to 3rd with no outs. Maybe the Sox can pull this out and go for the series on a BP day
