last night's loss

The score reflects a tug of war. Lost by 2 last night. Hard to shake that off immediately. Counterbalancing that, a 3.6 RA/G from the staff this week. Clean work.

Reds News

The Cincinnati Reds are riding high after a solid 4-0 victory over the Chicago Cubs, showcasing the strength of their pitching staff, which has allowed just 3.3 runs per game over the last week. However, the joy is tempered by the unsettling news of Nick Lodolo's likely stint on the injured list due to a recurring blister issue on his left index finger. Meanwhile, the All-Star snub of Elly De La Cruz stings even more as a rival player gets the nod to replace Shohei Ohtani. In the midst of this turmoil, the Reds are looking ahead to their future, with optimistic moves in the MLB Draft, including their attention on Alabama shortstop Justin Lebron. As they brace for another clash with the Cubs, Cincinnati fans are left with a mix of excitement and concern about the team's current roster and its long-term trajectory.
