So far, the biggest highlight of the Cincinnati Reds' season is that they scored a run. That, and Joey Votto isn't dead yet.

Carson Cistulli

I don't think this will be accepted as the club's 2017 tagline.

"Come see Reds baseball... Joey Votto isn't dead yet!"

the royals have walked in 3 runs this inning. goodbye super pen

Travis Sawchik

Ned yearns for yesterday

The Oberamtmann

My friend has a bassinet that he can control via wifi to rock and/or play music and looks like a space egg. It's amazing and he can rock his baby while we play Smash Bros

Eno Sarris

6:41

sounds like maybe more than $40 tho

Carson Cistulli

6:41

This is actually something you invented in a dream.

6:42

I just turned on the first game of mlb.tv career

Carson Cistulli

6:43

I will reiterate, this is a great complement to mlb.tv:

5 Run Homer

6:43

I want that bassinet and I don't even have a child or a significant other

Shirtless George Brett

6:44

Am I a bad fan for hoping the Royals fall out of it early so they can burn it to the ground at the deadline?

Travis Sawchik

6:44

You're a rational fan

Carson Cistulli

6:44

Hey, I have to step out for a moment. I will return for at least one or three of Yandy Diaz's plate appearances.

Travis Sawchik

6:45

I'd look for a killer return for Duffy, too

Trevor Gobble

6:46

Many years from now when bumgarner retires and is eventually considered for the hall, will they also take into account his value added at the plate? Just curious

Travis Sawchik

6:46

Of course

It's value

Harold

6:47

Gerrit cole looked so good then fell apart :/

Travis Sawchik

6:48

That happens time to time with him....He has trouble getting over mistakes. Pitches emotionally on occasion

Eno Sarris

6:48

Jon Gray, too. And they both didn't throw their third/fourth options much.

Travis Sawchik

6:48

Cole falls in love with fastball. High usage rate

6:49

Trumbo walk-off?

Eno Sarris

6:49

Well I saw that on TV before I saw it on the feed haha.

6:50

I prefer Trumbone to Trumbo Jumbo

Jack

6:51

Travis, any insight into the cutch plate discipline issues recently?

bosoxforlife

6:52

Who said stand alone power doesn't have value?

Travis Sawchik

6:52

He seemed to improve in August and Sept .... Let's wait and see. His bat has to bounce back, because the glove is in a four-year decline

Eno Sarris

6:52

Yeah that defensive decline is v trackable.

6:53

Oh man it's not going to be a ton of fun in San Diego this year, maybe.

Travis Sawchik

6:53

If I get an MVP vote again, regardless of year, I'm voting for Grandal

Lorcan

6:54

Yaz Grandal just unleashed an awesome bat drop from an over the top arm slot

Travis Sawchik

6:54

Might be a good year to make a few trips to minor league affiliates, San Diego fans

Matt

6:55

Are Manny Machado and Nolan Arenado on a serious HoF path? I mean you kinda have to be put them on the Adrian Beltre career path with maybe more consistency, right?

Travis Sawchik

6:55

Absolutely The skill sets are there. But accumulating counting stats requires health and longevity
