If any of us are still on this board, now's the time to kick it in gear. The scrim games are yielding some very interesting results. I like this team, but it's flawed. Thankfully, we have .......

Liking the overall Reds offense now, Winker's struggles aside. I was hoping Puig would produce more power but he hasn't and probably won't. He's not doing his own future much good if his OBP is this low. Senzel's 162-game pace is ROY-like ... could get 180 hits. I think this is a 3rd-place team.

Well-researched article that covers a lot of how the game has changed over the years. Well worth the read. https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2019/05/21/velocity-is-strangling-baseball-its-grip-keeps-tightening/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.e260900fc7b7&wpisrc=nl_most&wpmm=1

1-8 after series against division rivals: We expect the pitchers to pitch better, the hitters to hit better ... and we should expect the outfield to play defense better. Has it been the reason the Reds have lost? No. The hitting has sucked, the pitching has not. The bullpen is not as bad as...

The season opened with 7 straight wins. I know, the Sox cheated. Fuck 'em.

Thought I'd see if anybody gets a tickle or two from this. I am looking at headlines of major world events and decided to see if there's any baseball worth snipping. Well, yeah ... there is. This one, depending on which matters the most to you, is either about Babe Ruth or the stinkin' evil...

And other various sundry stuff Reds roster apparently will either have Kemp on the bench or Peralta in the bullpen. Dietrich appears to have made the team. What isn't clear is if Senzel starts the year in Cincy or Lousyville. Reds' Opening Day roster falling into place

So far none of the pitchers has blown a tire, pulled a string or popped a wheelie. so I assume we can at least make it through the weekend without having to modify Plan A. Seems like 4 or 5 guys we thought were MLB pitchers are system fodder now.

I am currently organizing an outline and some characters for a fiction of the 1919 Reds up to and including the W.S. with the Black Sox. This isn't a definitive history but I think it will be fun to write. What happens after that is the comment all writers are told: Write it first, worry about...

Banter is concluding that this guy is all but in a Reds uniform. Cost is Shed Long and a draft pick, as per the story, which isn't confirmed. Personally, I would rather go elsewhere for pitching but you get what's on the fringes for now. There is still money to sign Keuchel, which IMO would be...

Gotta think the Reds will throw some money at Alex Wood. I can't see them hanging onto Puig, but could offer Kemp a 1-year deal. Senzel still is the 5th infielder and the 5th outfielder. 4 guys for corner OF spots seems like a trade in the works.

Grinnell College, the place where every 6-1 shooter who hates defense would love to play, hit 42 3-point shots out of 88. Yeah, 88 is a real number. These guys do NOT play defense but they press for 40 straight minutes. A player might get 20 minutes of actual PT. Gotta love it. Men's...

If any thread deserved its own thread, this is it. The accepted list of available free agents is not going to make the Reds better. I hope they know that. It will also cost them the future. Does this front office really intend to pursue Sanchez, Lynn and a few others? I'd rather they try to...

Looks like we need a Missouri Valley hangout.

Fogerty can play it, so can Ian Kinsler and Cody Bellinger. So why are the Reds so insistent that they don't have anybody who can do that and still hit more than Mendoza?

Complex and compelling article on pitching. You can share this with your buds at the VFW, which is where I go when I want to know who should be traded. The physics of throwing a perfect baseball pitch “The erratic movement on a knuckleball is an example of what physicists call a chaotic...

A lot of the same people we've known about. Another Bell in the mix, which might prove interesting. I'd assume a pitching-first agenda would be on the table but does the new guy have any input on who the Reds go after? Williams asserts he is going to spend some money on the rotation. I presume...

how in hell does Wandy Peralta get into 59 games?

Watching Hamilton take 3 pitches down the middle, turn to the umpire and walk back to the dugout as if that's what is expected of him ... I just got called out on strikes, oh fucking well ... is the reason teams are in last place instead of contending. Outfielders who bobble the ball, miss the...

Baseball America's report on the Reds Instructional League I assume the team is either happy with Scooter or unhappy with somebody else. Then again, it's not even October. 2018 Cincinnati Reds Instructional League Roster

It appears the Hoop is dead in the water for baseball fans. All it has now is that absurd politics board, populated by bigots and sensible people. I've joined Red Reporter for some insight and a decent, though feisty, comments board. I have a different alias there and I won't reveal what it...

I pay some attention to this but don't take it seriously. Either way, Reds have 4 guys in the "top 50" of the prospects. Senzel is No. 1. Hunter Greene and Taylor Trammell are in there, and new pick Jon India is in the 46 spot. It's the product of crappy finishes, I reckon. It will be...

Only 34 home games left and the Reds are apparently telling Scooter they want to keep him, according to Scooter. Part of that was hinted at the other day when the Reds said they wanted to keep people who had been a magnet for fans. That is all pretty bogus but I think Scoots will sign a deal...
