Well said.

It was fun seeing Johnny Bench there wearing a C-Paw logo on his red and white gingham sport shirt.

Others may disagree, but I enjoyed Bench in the Fox Sports broadcast booth where he did a fine job--knowledgeable, great stories, and a pleasant delivery. I wish he'd do more games but he's long retired and probably doesn't want the hassles of traveling so frequently again.

Even with a disappointing outcome, Cincinnati showed well and as a Reds fan, I'm glad baseball's first professional team was among the first four selected for the FOD game.

In case you missed this part with our dawg:

Haha missed that part of the pregame but caught most of the rest. That was good. Thanks

Papi seems to have recovered well from the attempted hit on him in Santo Domingo.

They have less prospects on the pitching side, and they ones they do have are further away. If they are spending money, I'd trying to grab a couple of starters and a couple two/three bullpen arms.

As far as Moose/Votto/Senzel they are probably washed. Anything you get out of them is a bonus. I'm guessing Nick might even get Non-Tendered, which is very unfortunate for the once highly rated prospect.

As unimportant these last 36ish games are for the team, they are pretty important for a lot of guys' futures. It sounds like Moose is now done for the year, but there's still a level of make-or-break for the future of guys like Senzel, Barrero, Fraley, Aquino, Minor, Dunn and basically the entire bullpen (outside of Diaz) among others.

FWIW, I'm still on Team Senzel and I really hope he's part of the Reds' plans for next year even if he's only penciled in for a super-utility role.

While there are some bright spots and young talent/prospects this year, a lot of questions remain for next season. On another note, while not quite approaching the injury bug level of former player Ken Griffey, Jr., Senzel and Moose just can't stay healthy. Moose [34] will make the most cash next season behind Votto. Yeesh.

I thought that contract was awful the day they announced it.
