Bill is so disgusted with the umpiring

I'm not sold on Gott quite yet. Worried a bit about command.

The guy hasn't even allowed a walk on the season.....

Guess I haven't been paying enough attention.

That was pretty good work getting out of that clean.

[folly412]

Gott's been a nice find.

This guy has been pretty terrible.

[folly412]

They're going to call it the Rowdy Bell ?

[markedman5]

I think Rowdy is going to be just fine at first base……

[Brewcrew82]

Rowdy X2!

[jason21nl]

Rowdy Rowdy Rowdy!

[HarryDoyle]

I missed the granny but not this one. Tower's on fire.

[yourout]

If he keeps this up he will be an all-star this summer.

[Brewcrew82]

Gives Hader more time to rest that back, too.

Without the second half slide please.

[edfunderburk]

Good for Rowdy!

After years of cycling through first basemen, we may finally have one who contributes at a high level for the next 3-5 years

He’s easy to cheer for too

Not sure if I’m more excited about Rowdy or Lauer!

[igor67]

Rowdy is definitely not the problem with the offense.

Yep. Nice thing about Tellez is he hits the ball very hard AND he doesn't strikeout. Good recipe for sustained success.

[jw5511986]

How much club control do we have with Rowdy?

I was just thinking something similar. All of the years they’ve struggled to get even average production from first base and shortstop, now suddenly they may have above average players at both of those positions.

2 more years after this one iirc 

[folly412]

Reds on pace for a 20-142 season.  I commended them for re-building instead of their usual strategy of signing a bunch of free agents only to be a sub-.500 team, but ouch.

[timpep]

Seeing the state of this Reds team makes me feel pretty lucky the Brewers have Mark A. as the team owner.

Honestly, I feel like Yelich is getting pretty close to being where he was with the Marlins.
