You need the chance to avenge the 2012 NLDS

Another SEC pitcher - Hollan from Arky at #74. I think the FO has identified the need.

Last year we floundered to a 100 loss season. This year at the AS break we're in first place. After calling up 4 rookies who are all in the top 5 rookies in the league, our farm system is still bristling with so much talent we're having a hard time finding places to "move them up", such as Encarnacion-Strand

Amazing turnaround for a franchise. Don't think I've ever seen anything like it. At this time last year we had Kyle Farmer as our cleanup hitter and Donovan Solano was one of our best hitters

You know things are going the right direction when scouting and farm development are producing like that.

They forget how to hit the past two games when they get great pitching. Go figure.

 

[Vols4us]

It really was outstanding. One of their best.

Just can never beat the damn Brewers.

That needs to stop starting today.

That needs to stop starting today.

Only bright side is maybe Ashcraft is returning to form. Last three starts he went 18.2 and only given up 3 earned runs since coming back from the IL.

 

[Vols4us]

Now we get the pitching and no hitting. What in the world....

Bats are cold.

Whelp Lively out with an injury not what the pitching staff needs...

 

[Burhead]

1-5 against Milwaukee…

 

[Burhead]

CES scratched from the Bats lineup late, hopefully he gets the call up after the bats have gone silent. Maybe he can be a new spark like we got with McLain and ELDC.

 

[Burhead]

Hopefully he becomes the heir apparent to Votto.

 

[Vols4us]

Hopefully he becomes the heir apparent to Votto.
