The Reds can’t hurt the Cubs any more this year. So at least there’s that. It was an 8-11 season series loss for the Cubs – the first time they’ve dropped that particular series in five years. I can’t help but wonder if new Reds pitching coach Derek Johnson, formerly of the Brewers and formerly-formerly of the Cubs’ farm system, had something to do with it.

The “Now We Can See How Good A Hitter Miguel Amaya Is Because He’s Playing In A Halfway Decent Offensive Environment” tour has begun.
Still working on the name of the tour.
Amaya went 2-for-3 with a double, walk and 3 RBI for the Solar Sox. Zack Short went 1/3 with a BB.
