Starting pitcher Scott Feldman gave up home runs to Washington’s Bryce Harper and Ryan Zimmerman in the first inning of Monday’s series finale at Great American Ball Park.

This isn’t going to be fun, but with Bryce Harper, Ryan Zimmerman and Brian Goodwin going deep for the Nationals Monday at Great American Park, the Reds continued on their path to infamy. Here’s a hint what this talking point is about:

So what in the world is going on?

The Reds entered the game having surrendered 156 home runs this season, ahead of the pace of last season when Cincinnati pitchers gave up a MLB-record 258 long balls.

Sure, GABP qualifies as one of the great launching pads in the game, but isn’t this more than enough said?

Harper and Zimmerman are due up in mere minutes in the top of the seventh inning.
