THE DUKE Posted March 26, 2021 Author Share Posted March 26, 2021 Apparently Jonathan India has been looking good at the plate. Attributing it to finally being fully healed from a wrist injury from 2-3 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beck Bristow Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 I've not had a chance to catch games yet, they look fun. Hopefully they are still fun when my schedule frees up a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted April 7, 2021 Author Share Posted April 7, 2021 Take a series from the Cardinals and then just kicking the ever loving **** out of the Pirates. Pretty fun way to start the season.

THE DUKE Posted August 12, 2021 Author Share Posted August 12, 2021 Red 2021 1st rd pick Matt McClain promoted to High A Dayton and in his first game goes 4-5, with a 2B, HR, and 5 RBI. It'd be nice if a college pick actually moved fast. It took India about 3 years to make an impact, which isn't terrible, but it'd be nice to have one of those picks that hit and are up in a year or two. India and McClain could be the middle infield combo for the forseeable future, IF McClain hits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted August 18, 2021 Author Share Posted August 18, 2021 Jose Barrero called up (maybe for good) to play SS after hitting .303/.378/.532 across 80 AA/AAA games this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beck Bristow Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 I don't think he's playing every day, but we'll see. It would be nice if he forces the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMashMouthMike Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 (edited) Holy Firesale! What do we have left? Votto, India, Stephenson, Farmer and…? Castillo, Mahle, Guitterez? Good grief. There might be minor league teams that will be more watchable, smh. It’s like the owner is trying to sell the team or something.

THE DUKE Posted March 30, 2022 Author Share Posted March 30, 2022 I doubt they do it, but the Reds should open the season with Green and Lodolo in the rotation. I actually think the offense will be ok, and it'd signal that they are trying to compete. Then again, if they don't see this year as a competitive year, why would not wait 6 weeks and get them both an extra year? Sacrifice 7-8 starts for a full year in 2028 when they are in their prime?

Still wrong on all levels the Reds starting on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLB should be kicking the season off in Cincinnati every year and making a huge deal about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
