The Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game
Contrary to what common consensus may be, there’s a lot of different ways to have all kinds of have fun watching the 2017 Cincinnati Reds. There’s Joey Votto’s Vottoness, Billy Hamilton’s legs, Raisel Iglesias’ arm, and Adam Duvall’s affinity for hitting the dog snot out of the baseball. On Thursday, we got to see Adam Duvall hit the dog snot out of the baseball.
Duvall took an off-speed offering on the inside part of the plate at the knees and launched it to left field for a 2-run dinger to cap off a 2-for-4 day at the plate in which he scored twice, providing a crucial piece of offense to the Reds on this wet and cloudy afternoon.
