Win today and it’s a series win. Of course, it’s a Sunday, so…..

[Derwood]

Lyles is awful, so he'll give up 2 ER and get 12 K's over 6 IP

[muntjack]

I'm guessing this is one of those games where the offense looks like a juggernaut again.  10+ runs.

[Rcal10]

Anyone at this game? I am working as an honorary grounds crew worker before the game. Should be cool. 

[PackLandVA]

BJs jumping on the Reds quickly. Hunter Greene has given up two 2-run dingers already and it’s still the top of second inning, 5-0 Jays.

[cl smooth]

Happ with another one of his signature non-clutch RBI triples.

[UMFan83]

I see we pitched to Witt again and he made us pay.  Hopefully this is like last start and Kyle settles in and pitches well. 

[WhyCantWeWin]

Even the outs were all hit really hard. Should be an offensive explosion, but you never know,

Reds have gotten 2 back already and trail 5-2

Giants up 3-2 over the Braves.

Brewers starting right now

Phillies on SNB

Marlins and Diamondbacks idle

[Derwood]

I'm not mad when Swanson is hitting the ball hard but right at people.

Oh, stop pitching to Witt

[gmoney70]

I just hope they all have fun...

[chibears55]

Come on Hendricks,  how about a nice solid start today.

Two more solo dongs for the BJs, leading Cincy 7-2.

[UMFan83]

Great that we got 2 runs early, but Lyles is so bad his ERA has gone down .09 points so far today.

[chibears55]

How about we give this lady a memorable inning here and let her call a couple homers and multiple hits 😁

[Derwood]

What a play by Witt

[OleMissCub]

Only time I won't complain about a Cubs double play. 😁

[UMFan83]

How many more seasons until the Royals start taking bidders for Witt?

Probably right as Swanson deal is up..lol

[UMFan83]

Pitcher with a 1.30 WHIP has allowed 3 base runners in 4 innings blah.  Some good defense though

The BABIP gods are angry with Swanson
