Is Acuna having a stroke today? Taking bad angles to balls, nonchalantly going after ball in the corner, lollipop throws back into the infield. He looks completely disengaged on defense today.

5-3 Reds after 6.

Acuna with another seemingly catchable ball that he doesn't get to.

My goodness Santillian struggles yet once again!

Maybe in the field but not at the plate he hit .500 for the series with 5 walks and 4 homers and 5 RBI's.

Reds hold on to win as they get 1 out of 3 with the Braves winning today 6-4. Next up tomorrow the Royals come to town. Not good in the win it looks like Elly has an issue with his right hamstring.

We saw a great display in this series of why the Braves have the best record in baseball and the Reds are struggling.... walks.

The Braves pitchers throw strikes and the Reds pitchers throw balls. Up three runs in the ninth inning and Santillan walks a guy. Moll later relieves him and walks the tieing run into scoring position. Inexcusable. All those people who were bashing Pagan are anxiously looking to see when he can come back.

I for one would just like to see Cowboy come out of the booth and forget about Pagan. LOL

Is this a make or break series with the Braves?

No, I don't think so it is still just the end of May.

I wonder ...

Are Cubs fans thinking their series this weekend against Saint Louis is make or break?

Or flip that around, are Cardinals fans asking the same question?

With Cruz going down, I'm really thinking it was a make or break series.

Cruz going down really has nothing to do with it. If they Reds won 2 of the 3 and Elly going down would have been just as bad.

Well, kind of like, is the glass half or half empty.  The Reds didn't win 2 out of 3 either.
