April 13, 20215 yr Author 8 hours ago, Voice of Reason said: Votto crushing the ball all year finally gets positive results with a HR in the bay - the first ever by a Reds player. That's really surprising to me. Votto has been hitting the ball very hard this year, maybe even the hardest out of all the Reds starters but its been consistently right at people. The ball last night was a laser.
April 13, 20215 yr This showed up in one of those Facebook ads today. If I wasn't so sure that the decal wouldn't fall off (or the shirt disintegrate on the first washing), I'd get one these. Love it.
April 13, 20215 yr Now if I can just get my Little League team playing like their namesake.....after an 11-day Spring Break layoff, my middle-school-aged kids laid an 11-1 egg on Opening Day last night. ? Meanwhile, the Big Boys are now on pace for 113 wins.... ? (Gotta celebrate while I can...it may last, but I'm enjoying an early season run....) Great to see the Reds' pitching staff get a shutout last night. Pre-season concerns about the starting rotation and the bullpen have given ground to some early-season optimism based on their play so far... I really like this bunch. Not sure I have embraced an entire roster like this one since growing up with the Big Red Machine (can still recite the lineup).... CM

Only Reds player hitting the ball harder than Votto is Naquin.

This was before last nights game. 100.6 Winker 97.7 Naquin 93.2 Stephenson 91.9 Votto 91.6 Castellanos 90.2 Farmer 89.9 Senzel 89.7 Barnhart 88.4 Aquino 85.1 Moustakas 84.7 Suarez 84.6 India Most balls hit with 95mph+ exit velocity 18 Naquin 15 Castellanos 13 Votto
April 14, 20215 yr Reds on ESPN tonight. I always enjoy hearing how the national broadcasters view the Reds.
April 14, 20215 yr Votto with his second HR of the year gets the Reds on top early. Reds lead 2-0. Opposite field shot for Votto.
April 14, 20215 yr The night after Votto does it, Moustakas becomes the second Reds player ever with a splash HR. His 2 run dinger puts the Reds up 4-0. Still batting in the first.
April 14, 20215 yr And Castillo struggling again in the cold. Giants get a two run HR to make it 4-2 before Castillo gets an out.

April 14, 20215 yr Reds back on top 5-4 after Castellanos drives in Winker. Now in the top of the 4th.
April 14, 20215 yr Author That was a beautiful bunt by the Giants player there in the 5th. I wish more players would bunt against the shift. Great DP by the Reds to get out of it.
