Nice to see the Reds playing better and the bull pen is doing much better these days. Two more against KC before 4 games at the brew-crew before the all-star break and then we play them back here for 4 games. Big time 8 games and need to win 5 out of 8 imo. The wild card teams will probably come out of the west between San Fran and San Diego as I believe the Dodgers will win the west. Hopefully one of those two teams really have a bad second half of the season in case the Reds are unable to catch the Brewers.

Hi Tim,

I hope that you and your family are doing well, Bro. Cincy will have a 4 day All Star break so there shouldn't be any excuse for the guys to not be well-rested up vs the powerhouse Brew Crew!

Looking forward to the All Star game, as I do every year, and this year Nick Castellanos and Jesse Winker as our reps!

Hey Eric and everyone is doing fine. Hope you and your family are doing well.

Welp, the Reds bullpen imploded big time last night in KC - also a few errors on the field added to the loss. Up 6-1 in the 8th only to lose 7-6. I say put this loss behind you and keep playing the way you've been playing the past few weeks!

Yes, hopefully after a last night pep talk via Bell that they'll be able to regroup today in the finale vs the lowly Royals.

Great to hear, Bro!

Mom and I are doing good. Dad will be having a followup biopsy on his prostate on July 27th in Dayton.

Rain delay in the 8th! Redlegs lead 3-2!

[MVWxObserver]

Redlegs were able to redeem themselves and take 2 out of 3 from the Royals as they won 5-2!

Next is a 4 games series at Milwaukee to round out the road trip before the All Star break.

Tyler Mahle takes on TBD at 8:10 Thurs.

[tron777]

Tigers win the series 5-3 today against the Rangers! Next up is a 4 game road series with the Twins! First pitch is 8:10pm Thursday as Tarik Skubal gets things started for the boys! After this important series, the Tigers will get 4 days off to rest as play resumes 7/16 as the Twins come back to Detroit!

Something how those schedules have been arranged like that, Bro.

Tigers play the Twinkies either side of a 4 days break and the Redlegs play the Brew Crew either side of their 4 days break.

Very ironic isn't it?

Prob biggest series of the year! Wouldn't it be nice to take 3 of these, or even all 4? Gotta at the very least split.

I sure hope so, Bro. Some of the starting pitching rotation is stronger and then those who are so-so. Tyler Mahle and Wade Miley are two of the best so far this season, Luis Castillo has finally come around more so in the most recent 2 or 3 games with his form, from last year, Vladimir Gutierrez has done fairly okay, and Sonny Gray has been so-so since coming off the DL.

For relief, its mystifying as to why Brad Brach and Heath Hembree 'lost themselves' in that 1 game at KC, and then Amir Garrett didn't of course have any positive success in closing that game. Of course, too, some of the outfielders and / or basemen didn't help matters in that one either.

The Brew Crew are laser precision sharp. Prayerfully somehow our guys can be productive via those guys in both the pre and post All Star break series.

[MVWxObserver]

The guys lost 5-3!

Wade Miley takes on Eric Lauer at 8:10 Fri.

[tron777]

Tigers lose 5-3 8:05pm tonight with Matt Manning.

[MVWxObserver]

Its pleasantly shocking as the guys shut out the Brewskies 2-0!

Vladimir Gutierrez squares away vs Freddy Peralta at 7:15 Sat.

[tron777]

Tigers drop another one 4-2! This is ridiculous! 2:10pm today with Kyle Funkhouser.

[tron777]

Got killed again 9-4. I hope Wily Peralta pitches well so we can avoid getting swept.

[MVWxObserver]

The guys edged 'em yesterday 4-3!

Luis Castillo takes on Brandon Woodruff in the rubber match at 2:10 today.

[tron777]

Tigers lose and get swept 12-9 in a slug fest 10 innings. 4 days of rest then we'll kick off the 2nd half of the season 11 games under 500 with a series against the Twins in Detroit. Fri 7/16 kicks it off at 2:10pm. Pitchers TBD

[MVWxObserver]

Redlegs took 3 out of 4 from the Brew Crew as they won 3-1!

A 4 days All Star break and then a 9 games home stand starting with 3 vs the Brewers. Going into the 2nd half of the season they are 4 games behind Milwaukee at .533.

Pitchers TBD at 7:10 Fri.

[MVWxObserver]

The Lord must prefer the AL over the NL as the AL won the All Star Classic for the 8th time in a row!

(NL on at least two occasions had the bases loaded in THEIR favor but just could NOT do anything at those times.)

CONGRATS AGAIN AL!!

[tron777]

Tigers open up the second half of the season with 4 games against the Twins in Detroit. A DH for Friday with game 1 at 2:10pm Fri afternoon. José Ureña gets it going. Game 2 is 7:10pm Fri night with the pitchers TBD. We are 9 games under 500 in 3rd place. 15 games back. CLE is in 2nd place 8 games back. 1st is the White Sox.

[cloudy72]

Reds have 3 more big games against division leading Milwaukee at GABP. They won 3 of 4 against the Brew Crew before the break and are now only 4 games out.

[tron777]

The DH today was all ppd due to rain in Detroit. Will try the DH tomorrow against the Twins. 1:10pm and 6:10pm Saturday

[MVWxObserver]

Well, for some reason Cincy could win at Milwaukee last weekend but just could NOT this weekend at home as they got SWEPT in 3!!

Prayerfully they'll come around and do better as they do 3 games vs the Mets.

Vladimir Gutierrez takes on Jerad Eickhoff at 7:10 Mon.

[MVWxObserver]

Les's Tigers SWEPT the Twinkies in 3 over the weekend!! One of the games that was washed out Fri will be made up on Aug 30th.

Next is a 4 games series vs the Rangers to round out the home stand.

Casey Mize will go for the start at 7:10 Mon.
