The Cincinnati Reds and San Diego Padres have played some dramatic regular season series over the last few years. Despite both teams being on opposite ends of the spectrum in the National League, the Reds and Padres always give a good game to the fans. There is a key difference that stood out on Monday night, though, between the Padres and Reds.Fernando Tatis Jr factored into it, Blake Snell helped, but ultimately it is something that Jonathan India, Tyler Stephenson and company just have not done for the Reds this year. Also, what do we make of Nick Senzel? He has played some good baseball recently, but it feels as though some in Reds country would rather he didn't.
