    Bell is a fucking idiot for continuing to start Newman and Fairchild. And for hitting Elly leadoff where’s he’s been pathetic.

    Who is even on the roster outside of the starters today and Senzel currently? Hopkins? Who else?

    Marte should be called up and starting over bums like Newman, Fairchild and Senzel.

    Lol at batting Newmen in front of Benson. Bell is a moron.

    Also, can we get Larkin out of the broadcast booth? One of my favorite players ever, but man he is brutal calling games. You can tell he and Sadak hate each other.

    Had tickets next Friday that I just sold. Today's loss moved me on to football season. Sucks because baseball and the Reds will always be my favorite sport/team, and this was the first time time I had been into it in a while.

    You all realize we’re only a half game out of the wildcard right? They’re playing shitty right now but some of you are acting like we’re out of contention.

    RIP. Loved listening to him and Marty during the 2nd innings. He was one of the few guys who would spar with him a little bit. Seemed like a really good dude too.

    20 years ago, you would have got shot for standing in front of it. That was basically the edge of where the worst neighborhoods in Cincinnati bled into OTR.

    Back in the Winter, I watched the 2000 movie Traffic. Lots of stars in the cast, basically a movie with different plot lines about the American drug trade.

    Part of it takes place in Over the Rhine, which is basically all crack houses and crime.

    You could have bought a whole city block in 2000 post-riots for what a condo there costs now.

    I mean who else is supposed to start over Fairchild at this point? Senzel? That's not really an upgrade unless it's a LHP

    I mean sure, but if you take Fairchild out then someone still has to man 3rd.

    Hopefully Marte at 3rd is the answer but I’ll let him unpack his stuff before we make him an every day starter

    It’s Senzel, Newman or Fairchild until Marte is ready
