Good Thing this Morning - A good thing this morning is that both Shogo Akiyama and Sonny Gray appear to be progressing through their respective rehabilitation processes quite nicely and should be back with the Reds before too long. Sonny might just be ready to throw rocks come Friday night against the baseball club from Cleveland. So that’s a good thing.
Some Crummy Shit - Joey Votto has been crushing the baseball so far this season, with ten well-struck barrels through the first nine games. His BABIP on those laserballs in play is Mendoza crummy, though.
