They definitely have an identity. It's scrappy

As for improvement they need more power and another starter. The good news it they have all kinds of power in AAA and a stud starter. The next 5-7 yrs looks bright for this franchise

Agree on the scrappy. The did it again today. Hope Lodolo is going to be OK.

Looking forward to a bright future after all of the futility.

Diaz waving off Bell isn't something I've seen out of Reds players in awhile. Maybe we're getting our fight back.

Jon Heyman better figure out how to spell McLain. He comes across as clueless with posts like that

The Reds do need to clear a 40 man spot. They could do it pretty easily by moving Votto to the 60 man IL. They'd still have a open a spot on the active roster. I'd like to see them send Newman packing

They put Joey on the 60 day DL.

Given where the Reds stand as of today, this is a pretty nice lineup:

1. Jonathan India (R) 2B
2. Matt McLain (R) SS
3. Jake Fraley (L) LF
4. Spencer Steer (R) 1B
5. Tyler Stephenson (R) C
6. Nick Senzel (R) 3B
7. Henry Ramos (S) DH
8. Wil Myers (R) RF
9. Stuart Fairchild (R) CF

To think that just weeks ago we had the likes of Stuart Fairchild and Wil Meyers hitting 3rd or 4th.

To be fair I was doing that until I realized the different spelling.

I like it. Now let's get the pitching fixed.

Nice debut for Williamson: 5.2 IP, 6Ks, 2 hits, and only one run.

Indeed. His pitches showed good movement and he was helped by a Rockies squad that was swinging early and an ump with a pitcher's strike zone. Regardless, it was impressive. Let's throw him out there again and see how it goes

It sure is. His main problem is his strikeouts but I think he'll deal with that. My comp is Eric Davis and he improved that part of his game. I think Elly will too. Question is will they leave him at SS? I'm thinking his talent should force others to move to make room for him but we'll see

I agree on all of your points. In the end, get the best players in the line-up somehow.

McLain with his second HR. Nice W. They are starting to heat up. Find some pitching and let's go!
