I keep hoping that, now entering his 4th year as manager, Shelton will someday do something that makes me think, "Now, that makes sense!" But I suppose BC is onboard with the tomfoolery or else Shelton would be long gone.

There is so much that I would like to know.

Surely, this man can't be given the freedom to do what he wants, can he? Doesn't some percentage of input come from the bean counters?

If Ben is hands off on game management, then the team had better start winning against teams in addition to the Reds. Otherwise, I have two leashes. Neither is long.

But, I'm not Nutting, so....

Here we go. Small ball at work to score a run and fill the bases and then the "Not Great" Castro goes down swinging.

Is Hill done? He can't keep this crap up. Game tied 1-1.

It looked like Hill could either fool them with that slow, sweeping curve or not fool them and get crushed.

Cutch is a walk machine

Wind storm at gabp. If this weather can take away my garbage can imagine what it does to baseballs. . .

2 hits for Cruz vs a LHP (even if the first only went about 6 feet).

Bae looks overmatched against this LHP but, at 82 pitches, Lodolo may not last another inning.
