Hoping he is just having a sophmore swoon.  Hoping next year he turns the monster loose again.

Why do we have to wait until next year?   He OPSed .959 in June.

Watching Mateo run is pretty special.

I agree. We were having this conversation in another thread and people were saying Deveraux was the fastest player, but maybe my memory is fading, I don't remember him making me go "wow" when I watch him run. When Mateo hits the jets, he makes me go "wow" every time.

Would Mateo have had an inside-the-parker if he ran out of the box on that one?

Nah, but it would have saved him a slide into third.

These guys having all kinds of problems throwing strikes tonight.  They just put zero pressure on the hitters tonight.  Fortunately the Reds are awful

Felix Pie had wow speed but he was not smart how he used it.

Exactly.  His swing path is ALL pull.. he has not gone with a pitch to right field in a month.  Mancini same way.  When these guys slump it is usually they are trying to pull every pitch. 
 

And the entire lineup has had a terrible approach to Minor thus far who puts that junk outside and waits for our undisciplined hitters to go chasing. 

They can't give up the chance to land balls in LF stands much closer than OPACY's.

What's the nickname for the new wall?

I am eating a bowl of HIGHS Birdland Ice Cream.  It is quite good.

Geez, how did Ramon not make that tag in time??

[seak05]

That was a truly bad tag by Urias

Guess he did!

[Gurgi]

HE IS OUT!!!

[Tony-OH]

Fielders need to start tagging guys in the damn face! Just shove their gloves into their noses and these stupid swim tags will go away.

[Dibbs31]

Easily out
