Braden, unfamiliar with standing at first base, stole second shortly after this to get back to more comfortable territory.

Was listening to a game in a background yesterday where this came up in a broadcast interview, and the guy said the sunglasses guys wear to bat are different colors/filters specifically to account for being able to still see the ball.

Reds anti-sweep magic defeats Brewers devil magic in 10. Reds the only team yet to be swept this year

Man what an unlucky bloop

He needed this one, hope it gets him going.

Kanny manager Chad Pinder aired out his frustrations with the crew after some close calls in a 1 run loss last night and got ejected before first pitch.

Kanny lost late, but 12th rounder Ely Brown is 10-33 to start his pro career with just 4K. All singles though.

3.1IP, 5R (3ER), 2H, 6BB, 2K for Cease tonight. 4.61 ERA for the season.

Of course he reaches after two missed calls

Umberger has 7Ks through 3, just mowing guys down tonight

They might not break the loss record, but the Rockies seem pretty likely to set the record for worst regular season run differential. I believe the modern record is -349 (1932 Red Sox) and COL is at -331 right now. More than twice as bad as the second worse team (WAS, -151). Sox aren't even bottom 5 currently, just significantly underperforming their expected W/L due to all the 1 run losses.

Worse pace than Rockies, Sox, etc. over a full third of the season

I wouldn't call it an experiment. It's the only real way to accommodate Sosa at 2B when an OF or catcher is occupying DH.

Colson was locked in on the iPad in that dugout shot

I think he got the back hand in but it's close. That second angle looked pretty safe actually

2026 debut might be back on the menu. Game is in a rain delay, so I'll assume Gowens is done with 5IP, 0ER, 1H, 1BB, 5K.
