The Reds are pretty close to unwatchable for me.  You want to support your "professional" team but they're just super frustrating to watch because it's the same approach game after game.  I wonder if Marty B wishes he hadn't talked Francona into coming to Cincinnati to take over.  Of course it's hard to go to war with mostly inferior ammo and expect a successful outcome.  I haven't quite given up but I'm out the door and my key in the lock......                                                                                                                      

I'm right behind you. LOL

0-0 after 1 inning the Reds had 2 on with one out both were walks but two strikeouts to end the threat.

2-0 Phillies after 2 innings as the Phillies with 1 out had back-to-back a double and a triple for their and then a Burns WP for their 2nd run. The Reds after 2 innings so far are looking just like last night with 4 strikeouts out of their 6 outs so far, so that is on pace again for 18 K's. lol

Reds tie it at 2 in the bottom of the 3rd after a single by Elly then with a 3-2 count Stewart goes opposite field for a 2-run homer.

The Reds take the lead 3-2 on a solo homer by Marte. Then the Reds go back-to-back-to-back a two-run homer Elly then another solo homer by Stewart (2nd of the night) and then a solo by Bleday now led 7-2 in the bottom of the 4th inning. The Reds have 7 hits so far and all have been extra base hits (5 homers and 2 doubles). The Reds have hit 4 homers in an inning. lol

Phillies pick up a run in the top of the 5th to make it now 7-3 Reds. Burns goes long enough to hopefully pickup his 11th win of the season and improve to 11-1 going into the All-Star break.

Burke gives up a homer to make it now 7-4 Reds after 5.5 innings.

The Reds pick up 4 insurance runs in the bottom of the 6th and now are out to a more comfortable score of 11-4 after 6 innings.

Hey an inning with no runs still Reds 11-4 after 7. I'm going to the game tomorrow night (free tickets I won at school) would not be paying lol they will probably go back to 15 or more strikeouts and maybe 1 run. My luck. lol

Still 11-4 Reds after 8 innings.

Schwarber hits yet another homer at Cincy to make it 11-5. Oh, what if he would have chosen the Reds last year.

Reds win 11-5 with 5 home runs tonight. Tomorrow is the final game of the series with first pitch at 7:10pm.

Heading out in a couple of hours to head to GABP have a reservation at the Boat House for pregame meal. I am afraid that may be the highlight of the evening. lol

Thanks not holding my breath after last night’s offensive outburst. lol

At least I’ll have a great meal.
