2019 Cincinnati Reds

WoW ! After last night and today ! 1-4 start it won't last long ? Hope !

The first full week of the regular season and the Reds are already 4 games behind. A week does not a season make, but it looks like the sole accomplishment of the off season deals was unloading Homer Bailey and his salary.

I don't think this version of the Reds will last long. They'll start hitting better, and the bullpen will get it figured out. A bright spot so far for the Reds has been Luis Castillo, we saw he got the surprise start on opening day, and man he's impressed so far. He's given up a total of 2 runs in 12.2 innings in his first 2 starts. And he has 17 strikeouts.

The way I look at it: With 162 games in MLB and 16 in The NFL, 10 MLB games are about equal to 1 NFL game.

So, 1-4 would be like The Bengals coming out and playing a bad first half in week 1. It's disappointing, but I wouldn't read a lot into it yet. I'll wait another 10 games before making any broad conclusions about what they are.

1-5 Going into tonight ! Hamilton could not hit but the player that's there now 1-16 not much help ?

1-8 how will this coach last ?

Given that the manager is of royal Cincinnati baseball blood (Gus and Buddy Bell) and that his dad is in the Reds front office, I would guess David Bell's job is as safe as safe can be. Unfortunately for the fans, the Reds have only one win in their last sixteen going back into spring training. I hope otherwise, but it looks like the team once again will flirt with a 100 loss season.

O-Boy ! Nice to hear ?

[Chieftain2009]

Holy home run derby!!

[Geronimo]

How many times have the Reds scored 10 or more and can't score the next night ? Same old Reds !

[Geronimo]

Plus daddy of the Reds coach is in the front office! LOL !

Same ol Geronimo, calling for everybody's head a week and a half into the season lol

[Geronimo]

Big Red Machine!

[Chieftain2009]

I've been blown away so far this year with the pitching (specifically starting pitching). I know it's against the Marlins, but the offense seems to be clicking a little better now too.

[Chieftain2009]

Now it's onto Mexico! For a 2-game series with the Cards.

[Chieftain2009]

4 straight wins!
