He's been doing this all year. Got to do something I suppose when you are 20+ games under .500 to make the work day move along. Lance Berkman used to do some similar things.

I don't think Schebler's bomb reached the road behind the stadium in the air like Juan Francisco did a few years ago, but it probably was close.

@ctrentBilly had 9 steals in last 3 games. Reader email prompted me to look for similar run. Looked at 100+ seasons from Rickey, Coleman... (1/2)
@ctrentIn 100+ steal seasons, Rickey had 1 stretch w/ 10 steals in 3 games. That’s it. Coleman didn’t have 9 in 3-game stretch in those yrs (2/2)

They have been playing close to .500 ball since the burning crater from April and May, but the pitching is still no great shakes. Other than Iglesias and Lorenzen, the bullpen pretty much hasn't found a lead that is safe.
I'd imagine it would even look more pathetic if you took out DeScalfini and Dan Straily, those guys have pitched ok. Straily has been a nice junkyard pickup by the Reds.

They have not been in the same division for decades, but beating the heck out of the Dodgers always feels good.
Reds out of last place in Central. They are 21-12 in the second half and 36-34 since June 1st. Considering how the burning crater they were in at the end of May, you have to say they have played better ball.
That was Finnegan's best start of the year going 1 hit in 7 innings. Might be one of his last starts as there seems to be discussion of shutting him down around 150 innings. He's been up and down, but definitely deserves a shot at rotation for next year.
Oh yeah this too...

GABP is about the cheapest home run in baseball but on warm early day games, the ball carries especially well to right field as there is generally a breeze running to the river on those days. You get the ball up going to right and there is part there isn't a stadium to stop the wind.
I was there a few years back for of Moyer's last starts for the Rockies when he got blasted I think for four home runs by the Reds including the infamous Todd Frazier one armed jack. It was really hot and breezy and a 1235 start like today.

It's obvious most of the commentators on that article haven't watched the Reds much and know about the usual OBP black hole that has been the lead off and often #2 spot has been for the Reds along with for most of Dusty's time it was Brandon Phillips batting clean up. There have been runs where clubs just basically put him and and dared Phillips and Bruce to beat 'em.
I saw that 'most Joey Votto game', the Cards pitched around him all night, it's just he hit the only strikes he saw.

Yeah they broke this record last week. They have added at least 1 more home run to the total, still got a shot at 100 HRs out of the pen.
I guess saving grace for such sxxtty pitching is that they have won more games than you might expect all things considered. I think they still are a game or two over .500 for the second half.
Reds bullpen gave up it's record setting 93rd HR breaking the record of 92 from the 1964 KC A's!
They still got a shot at 100 with 16 games to go! I'm sure Kris Bryant has a couple more 4-5 games with 3HRs and 2x2Bs left in him against Reds pitching.
