Since the Cardinals and Marlins aren't for real and the Brewers have issues, can the Reds with Bruce actually compete for the wildcard with probably the Dodgers and Mets?

And I just learned a second ago that the Volquez and Harang lead the league in Ks, one of the best indicators of future pitching performance.
 
Man, I don't trust Weathers at all this year. Just watching him throw makes my body hurt.

oh, my bad, I forgot you leave your stud ace in to throw the 7th w/ 105 pitches............

Volquez ain't coming out now, no way.

Bruceifus is merciful! He obviously didn't get a hit tonight so he wouldn't upstage Volquez.

One the real, though: Volquez is starting to go deeper and deeper into the games lately. He is becoming an "ace." Your ace pitcher has to have stuff to go 8 and sometimes 9 innings. He doesn't have that yet, but in a few years, he'll get it.
 
Jim Thome just hit the farthest home run ever at US Cellular field

fucking concourse in dead center are you serious

Although he's effectively wild which helps him a bit, when he tightens up his control it will be...just wow.
 
OK so there is no official word yet on the distance for Thome's home run, but this red arrow is where the ball hit off of on the fly, and keep in mind that it's 400 feet just to the wall in dead center:

Patterson down to .195, thankfully he wasn't pinch hit for with risp and a lefty in. They even zoomed in to Dusty after Patterson K'd :lol

Oh crap, Bray in to face the heart of the order.
