Stripes Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 Well here we go. Are our butt cheeks clenched? It's going to be rough. Hopefully the offense impresses at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BengalszoneBilly Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 When I was a kid in the '70's, the Reds were a powerhouse. The Big Red Machine. 1990 brought a nice surprise, but ever since it's been junk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArmyBengal Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 Turns out they drew blood on all the Reds players and the tests came back positive for "SUCK". I hope it's not terminal... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COB Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 My yearly tribe update for you long-suffering Reds fans - The Indians have won 8 of their last 11 to jump to a modest lead in the AL Central. Their staff is straight up money. They have the 2nd worst team batting average in the A.L. If their bats can get going, and Francona seems to think they can, they can make the playoffs again. Amazing to be in this role as a tribe fan. Where the reds are now, that was home for the Indians for over 40 years. It was brutal. Year after year.

I saw bad coming, but THIS bad ?? It's stunningly bad. Almost like you have to TRY to be this bad. Poor Riggleman. Had to be thinking "Do I have to?" after Price was fired.

COB Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 The tribe's bullpen is turning into a giant pile of burning shit. They'd beaten the idiot Tigers like 11 games in a row, now they just lost two of three to them. And that was without Miggy. Can't really get any new arms until the all star break, window closing!!!

COB Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 True, the reds are currently in the middle of their 20 year rebuild plan. The tribe had it there for a couple years, but things are slowly coming undone. As I previously stated, the bullpen is failing, but that’s not all there is to it. They let Carlos Santana go to the Phillies in the off season. Dude was kind of a strange fellow, but it’s becoming clear to me that he was a very respected leader of the Hispanic players on the team. Without him, there seems to be an intangible missing. We’ll see who they can get when teams become sellers, things could change. Until then if they can just stay at .500, it would be a huge success.

ArmyBengal Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 Maybe they could pick up Domata Peko. I heard he was a really good leader somewhere before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalszoneBilly Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 Did Joey Votto let the National League down last night or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyline Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 I was optimistic heading into this season. I didn't expect a playoff berth or anything, but I at least expected the young talent to be exciting to watch. Despite the awful start, I haven't been let down. Pitching is the clear weakness, but guys like Castillo and Mahle give you hope. Winker has been better than I expected and seeing Taylor Trammel and Hunter Greene do well in the futures game gives you hope. I doubted the "rebuild" at first, but I'm finally seeing some light at the end of the tunnel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyline Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 Tough loss last night. It was good to see Bailey pitch well, but Riggleman left him in one inning too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 A win for me, when viewing the Reds this season, would be to not finish in last place. That is still going to be a challenge however. I do like some of the pieces they have place and need to see some pitching prospects develop to contend again. Always rooting for the Redlegs !!!

skyline Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 I really thought we were going to catch the Pirates until they reeled off 10 wins in a row. Freaking Pittsburgh, man. I never knew it was possible to dislike a city so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyline Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 2/3 from the Cardinals. I'll take it. Sure wish Votto's bat would come alive, though. It's amazing that, even while slumping, the dude's OBP remains so high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalszoneBilly Posted July 28, 2018 Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 Eric, I'd love the Reds to do something. To rekindle the Big Red Machine. To return to relevance in the MLB. The current ownership isn't up to the task. I miss Marge... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyline Posted July 28, 2018 Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 I was skeptical at the beginning of the rebuild, but check their offensive #s. They are very very good. They've also played .500 ball since Riggleman took over. They aren't far off. Add 2 quality starters and this team can be very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyline Posted July 28, 2018 Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 That's fine. Meanwhile, they got another win against a first place team tonight and I'm enjoying it. The Winker injury is killing me, though. He was a rookie of the year frontrunner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyline Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 Reds win again. 2/3 from the Phillies with game 4 tomorrow. Sadly, that may be the last game we see with Harvey in a Reds uniform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 And they took 3 of 4 from the Phillies with Castillo looking solid in 7 innings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
