Mets and deGrom out duel Castillo and Reds
New York Mets (80-73)
8 10 0 Cincinnati Reds (72-82)
1 7 1 W: J. deGrom (10-8) L: L. Castillo (15-7) Living in New York, there are few things I like more than seeing the Reds beat the Mets and Yankees. With the Fox Sports Ohio feed blacked-out here, I’m relegated to the TV broadcast team of Gary Thorne and Keith Hernandez, who—I must admit—can be wonderful when they get past their outer-borough bias. Knowledgeable and full of interesting banter, a baseball fan can do a lot worse.
Hernandez though—old school to a fault—hates Cincinnati Chili and thinks Joey Votto “thinks too much” at the plate—and almost never fails to mention both.
