Check out the baseballs that will be used in the Home Run Derby this year.
That gold color is where the panel has been infused with actual 24k gold. They’ll only be for each hitter’s last out, so they’ll be super special in addition to being worth a whopping $149.99. The lucky fans who catch these won’t get just a memento with sentimental value, but also something that they can put in the safe at home.

Why in the heck ESPN is still picking up Reds games, I don’t know. I mean, FSOhio doesn’t really have a choice: the Reds are pretty much the whole reason they exist this time of year. But ESPN could be picking up anyone’s games. Have they seen how this team has been playing? The Pirates would be a whole lot more interesting at this point.
But worry not! Just because ESPN is stealing the stink-fest that is the July 24th game with the Braves from FSOhio, FSOhio is making up for it by picking up the August 11 stink-fest against the Rockies.
ESPN has selected the Reds July 24th game for national broadcast, which means FOX Sports Ohio can no longer air the game.
As replacement, FOX Sports Ohio will televise:
REDS VS ROCKIES
THURSDAY, AUGUST 11
12:30pm
HD coverage begins at noon with Reds Live Pregame Show.
See you there!

Boxscore
We’re re-watching all the Harry Potter movies leading up to the final chapter coming out in a couple weeks, so we didn’t catch the game tonight. No big deal. It was a rerun anyway.
If you missed it, they’ll be playing this episode again tomorrow at 8:15 p.m. EDT.

This here’s a picture of the Reds who actually lined up for the national anthem at the Tweet Up game on Friday:
Back in the depths of the Reds crapitude, maybe in the Miley era, I remember someone making a big stink about how the troops were defending our country and how the least the team could do was be out there for the anthem, and then suddenly everyone was out there every day.
Clearly, that’s worn off (the degree to which the crapitude has worn off is up for debate).
Not sure if you can tell from the photo, but one of the few who did show up is Joey Votto. It’s not even his flag. His country doesn’t even have an Independence Day, for crying out loud. I realize it’s not the home flag for many of the players, but none of the others showed up on Friday, so they don’t get props. I bet we’ll be seeing more of them today, though.
Happy birthday, America!
