Indeed, it's just the backup catcher we had wasn't that bad. I guess they're hoping Soto can improve at the plate and possibly replace Napoli. Soto is an upgrade defensively over Torreabla, so that's good. He might be better than Napoli too, who isn't that great defensively either.

Napoli is a FA after this season, right?

Yes, he is.

And the best record in baseball after August 1st... The Cincinnati Reds X a billion

And if the Reds have a lead after 7 innings on your team...well I'm sorry about your damn luck. Broxton and Chapman are pretty damn good.

Gosh damn Matt Holliday! Gosh damn! Watch out Croft..the Redbirds are comin for your Reds. We will do any thing neccessary to win the Central. Including getting into a dugout clearing brawl..oh wait..

Seven games is no big deal. We may not win the Central but we will get that Wildcard! Let's hope the Reds are smart and don't start saying the Cardinals are bad and that they are so much better. Didn't work out for the Brewers too well.

Mike Olt era begins. Keep being awesome. Get on base, and jack homers. We'll have a good ole time.

I'm looking forward to this Mike Olt feller. BASH BASH BASH! ... he might hit one to Dallas.

The Reds win again that's 3 out of 4 from the Padres and best of all Chapman got a much needed day off. He might get a second day off tomorrow now that the Reds have Broxton. But the pesky Pirates of Pittsburgh are coming to town. It should be fun!

I don't know why I sit and watch the entire game when they play like this.

So gotten to.

Going to a Royals/Rangers game on Saturday..ought to be "interesting."

**LadyCroft** · 08-03-2012, 08:49 PM

Latos + Broxton + Champan = 4 hit shut out.
