Story we are following from Field Level Media:Reds try to cool off Bobby Witt Jr., even set with Royals
Bobby Witt Jr.

There are plenty of ways to describe watching Kansas City Royals star shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. play.
Teammate Michael Lorenzen keeps it simple: “It’s the real deal.”
After collecting three more hits on Friday to raise his major-league-leading batting average to .352, Witt has Kansas City hunting a series win entering its Saturday game against the host Cincinnati Reds.
Witt, a first-time All-Star this season, might be the American League’s leading MVP candidate if not for New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge’s torrid campaign.
Witt and the Royals will dig in on Saturday against Cincinnati left-hander Nick Lodolo (9-4, 3.99 ERA), who will face Kansas City for the first time in his three-year career.
Lodolo last pitched on Sunday, when he surrendered three runs on three hits and three walks across 5 1/3 innings in a no-decision against the Milwaukee Brewers.
The Reds prevailed 4-3 in that game, triggering a four-game winning streak that ended on Friday. Cincinnati sits four games back of the National League’s final wild-card spot.
The Reds may be down a reliever on Saturday after right-hander Fernando Cruz threw 32 pitches and allowed four runs over two innings in the series opener.
“Fernando just has to continue to work,” Cincinnati manager David Bell said. “He’s had some really good signs the last few times out, and again, the (eighth) inning was excellent. Just a tough inning (in the ninth).”
The Reds managed only four hits on Friday, though Jonathan India went 1-for-2 with two walks and a run after snapping an 0-for-23 slump on Wednesday. The second baseman is 4-for-7 with two home runs and four RBIs over the past two games.
Cincinnati will look to break through on Saturday against Kansas City’s Michael Wacha (9-6, 3.50 ERA). The right-hander is 13-3 with a 2.54 ERA in 26 outings (22 starts) against the Reds over his 12-year career.
Wacha has logged three straight quality starts and has permitted three earned runs or fewer in each of his past 14 outings. He held his former team, the St. Louis Cardinals, to two runs over seven innings in Kansas City’s 8-3 home win on Aug. 10.
The Royals enter Saturday 2 1/2 games ahead of the Boston Red Sox for the AL’s final wild-card spot.

Trace rant late in this episode was spot on and greatly appreciated.
CHATTERBOX MY NICKNAME FOR GREENE SINCE HE BEEN ON THE REDS IL. GREENE EVERY YEAR. THE GUY IS NOT BEEN RELIABLE ON A CONSISTENT BASIS. ASHCRAFT HURT LADOLO, HURT, GREENE ALWAYS HURT, WHAT A ROTATION SPEND MONEY ON A ACE PITCHER CHEAPSKATES. DONT GIVE ME THIS SMALL MARKET B.S. I AM TIRED OF IT. SHOULD OF KEPT CASTILO.!!! WHO ARE THE TRAINERS OF THIS TEAM THEY SUCK. AND HITTING COACH SUCKS TOO. PATRICK
why do you guys even care or watch? I dont get it
What is is about days off that just completely kills all of their momentum? They steamrolled through the Cardinals, got a day off, and then have been utter garbage in two games against KC. What are they doing on their off days? Also, why has Lodolo been sucking so badly here lately?
Bell's postgame comments are usually what bother me, just way too passive, overly positive, I think he and the front office have the set the bar so low, there's not accountability or expectation to be better than they are.
Do the Reds have a SS somewhere that is better defensively than Elly? I am wondering if Elly might be better off as a DH. Terrible at turning DPs and way too many errors. Elly is garbage defensively. He has been the every day SS for two years and has not improved at all defensively yet he continues to start at SS. Elly needs to be benched or sent to Louisville as does Benson and Marte.
Playing Marte so much is insulting to fans in my opinion too. I don't get the loyalty to Bell, the playing of Marte most days coming off this suspension and not hitting above .200 in Triple A or the Majors. He could be working on his game in Triple A, there is a chance they damage his confidence too a bit.
I disagree with Trace on Barry Larkin. I think he is an awesome commentator. Same goes for the other guy whom I have completely forgotten his name.
remember when people said lodolo was better than hunter greene
yeah. (i probably did too)
"I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!"
