It should be noted that the right fielders in today's game are Raley and his nemesis F-Raley.

Reds have won 6 of their last 7 games. They're hitting .195/.297/.288 during those 7 games. The last time a team won 6 of 7 games with all 3 slash numbers that low or lower was the 1988 Dodgers. Just sayin'.

Reds corner infielders are batting .145/.200/.234 so far this year. Their outfielders are hitting much better at .194/.288/.257.

It is really stressful trying to figure out who is playing where when you don't know the players very well and they're all wearing the same number.

New version of Tic-Tac-Dough just debuted last night on GSN. Has to be related.

Reds finished 28th in Defensive Runs Saved last season. But 2025 is a new year They are #1 at turning grounders/bunts into outs (79% of balls hit on ground became outs) And #1 at turning balls hit in the air into outs (77% of balls hit in air became outs)

Nick Lodolo and Luis Castillo have each received 3 total runs of support while in the game in their 3 starts, so I guess I'm saying, bet the under.

I guess if they wanted to wear #42, they shouldn't have gone on the IL.

Pitchers who debuted with the Reds and later made starts at GABP with another team Travis Wood - 7 GS (2-4, 4.69 ERA) Mike Leake - 5 GS (0-3, 6.28 ERA) Brett Tomko - 5 GS (1-1, 5.12 ERA) Johnny Cueto - 4 GS (1-1, 4.91 ERA) Michael Lorenzen - 1 GS (1-0, 1.59 ERA) Phil Dumatrait - 1 GS (1-0, 0.00 ERA)

It's weird to me that tomorrow is the first time Luis Castillo will face the Reds. I don't know if there will be much of a crowd, but I hope they give him a good ovation. He's a future Reds HOFer, in my opinion.

Hunter Greene over his last 14 starts 85.1 IP 1.05 ERA 97 K 22 BB 39 H 4 HR 11 XBH 0.71 WHIP Last Reds pitcher with an ERA ≤ 1.05 with at least 84 IP over a 14-game span was Dolf Luque in 1923.

The Reds Hall of Fame announced that former player/interim manager Tommy Helms died at the age of 83. Helms was the 1966 NL Rookie of the Year.

This is the first time since 3/30/2023 that Hunter Greene has thrown a pitch against the Pirates with something other than a 0 in the Reds run column (23 straight innings appeared in). 1st time in his career (41 straight innings appeared in) that the Reds have more than 1 run on the board vs PIT.

Reds games have had a total of 130 three-batter innings through 15 games (avg of 8.67 per game). In the last 50 years, only one team has had more through 15 games - 2019 Giants (138). I don't know what any of this means long term, but I'm gonna keep hammering the "We need more action" drum.

The Reds haven't swept the Pirates since a 4-game series sweep in August, 2021. In between that series and the start of this year, the Reds went 21-33 overall vs Pittsburgh.

Hunter Greene in career vs the Pirates: at GABP: 3 GS, 0-2, 10.1 IP, 8.71 ERA, 17 K, 6 BB, 3 HR at PNC: 4 GS, 0-2, 25.2 IP, 0.70 ERA, 34 K, 10 BB, 0 HR

Lowest combined OBP for team & opponent through team's first 14 games (since 1901) 1910 White Sox - .259 1909 White Sox - .260 2025 REDS - .261 1904 Red Sox - .264 1968 Yankees - .264 1963 Cubs - .265 1933 Indians - .265

It's really hard to decide whose offense has been worse between the Pirates and Reds.
