    Over/under

    CBS posted their take on over under (wins) for 2018 season. Interesting that CBS in their continual effort to alienate their readers, doesn't allow readers to add comments anymore. I suppose if readers aren't allowed to openly comment or criticize, their target audience is more apt to believe...

    Mr. Perfect

    Tom Browning opens a bar in NKY. Plans a replay of his rooftop appearance at Wrigley. I'd pay to see that. https://www.google.com/amp/amp.wlwt.com/article/cincinnatis-mr-perfect-bought-a-bar/19140106

    special stupid

    Reds prospect suspended for drug use that he happened to post on Snapchat No one ever proved talent could make up for stupidity. This is a good example. Hope his agent told him suspensions are unpaid.

    Green Diamond Gallery

    Just had one of the most unusual baseball experiences of my life- at the Green Diamond Gallery in Montgomery (OH) & wanted to share with you guys. I didn't know it existed, so if you are familiar, maybe you could share your view. If you ever get a chance to go, it's worth whatever it takes to...

    Good / Bad Reds Comparison predictions

    Just for giggles... Will Suarez have more HR than Errors this year ? Will BP hit more HR than DP's he hits into ? Will Billy Hamilton or Jay Bruce have the higher batting average this year ? Who ends up with most W this year as a Red-Homer Bailey or Alfredo Simon ? Over/under on number of...

    Icons over subjects uggh

    I have author icons all over the subject lines now in this forum. Any idea how to get rid of these ?

    Deadline deals

    Is it just me, or are there a LOT more name players being moved before the non-waiver deadline than normal ? Could it be the bigger contracts are starting to be a bigger issue, and teams more eager (or required to) shed contracts, and/or players nearing free agency ? I think so. There are more...

    AS voting

    Reds are giving fans free Skyline coneys and cokes today to come to GABP and vote up to 35 times, obviously a Reds push. Frazier has had a great year so far, but probably not as good as Arenado from the Rockies. Votto and Phillips are fine, but well behind Goldschmidt, Rizzo at 1b, and Gordon...

    Still flogging Pete

    Pete Rose must have made an impression on John Dowd. Somehow, they just dredged up some betting slip dated 1986 that suggests Pete bet on the Reds as a player-manager...that somehow escaped showing up until now, just before new commish reviews Pete's request for reinstatement... Dowd was quoted...

    Baseball espionage

    The old game has truly entered into the technology era...when baseball front office computer hackers steal other teams database info, and the first time an on-line only All Star ballot is used, the results churns up an AL team that is the KC Royals plus Mike Trout. The used to only have to...

    Cozart

    I guess Cozart left today's game with a knee injury ? I didn't see the game...Price said he got an MRI but didn't know results but he expected a DL stint...expressed that he "hates to see a player leave that way"...so, might have been obviously bad. I hope not.

    Draft

    I see the Reds took a 6'4 catcher (who also was a 90 mph pitcher) in the first round, and a lot if RHP later. It appears the Stevenson kid has a power bat and was regarded as the best defensive catcher in a relatively weak C draft this year. I assume no positional plan in the draft, still...

    Reds All-Stars ?

    MLB requires every team to have at least 1 representative at the A-S game. Who are the Reds All-Star worthy players this year...in their home park, no less ? Chapman, probably. He may be the only one. Frazier is among the leaders in HR, but otherwise pretty ho-hum, stat wise. Cueto has...

    Bailey

    Homer is scheduled for TJ on Friday. KREMCHECK is doing the surgery, and says his current injury has nothing to do with the flexor mass injury he had last fall. Yeah, right. WHY do these guys continue to let that hack work on them ?

    Baltimore

    The O's cancelled 2 games due to unrest in Baltimore, and are planning to play a game today closed to the public. They're talking about moving upcoming "home" games elsewhere- even to their Fla. minor league complex. There is a 10PM curfew in place and armed authority in the streets now. Martial...

    Dusty

    Dusty wants to manage again. Now he's whining Dave Stewart didnt call him back. Seems to be a trend there.

    Irony

    Strange how things work out. Cubs spend $155M on Lester, who can't make a throw to a base without pissing down his leg. He's also having a tough time keeping hitters off the base paths to begin with...Reds do the right thing, and force him to throw away a ball, and wind up running into an OF...

    Who's left to sign ?

    Frazier gets a 2 year deal- pushes him thru 2016 with 1 arbitration eligible year left- I think he'll be over 30 then. I know Cueto can be a FA at the end of this season- is Leake's FA year at the end of this year or NEXT year ? I can't remember...Chapman can leave after 2016 season if not...

    World Series

    I was glad to see KC in the series- if for no other reason, than the small market optimism it brings. With their backs against the wall, it looks like their good fortune might be catching up to talent realities though. Still, I'd rather go back home with a chance that be sitting at home...

    Broxton traded to Brewers

    For 2 unnamed players...salary dump...he is owed $9m next year, the same figure Ludwick makes this year, except Mr. Longneck Ludwick also has an option for a ridiculous 2015 year, and a $3m buyout if the Reds sober up and cut bait on him. Of course in order to trade a player, you have to find...

    Winning streak

    Now at 2 games...after splitting a 4 game series with the Dodgers, who have twice the payroll but only a handful more wins than the Reds, and about as far out of 1st place as our bately better than Cubs Reds...The Dodgers DID play .500 on a road series though, something good teams are supposed...

    Blowpen

    If you think the Reds bullpen, or more aptly the blowpen, is bad now, wait a minute. Reds signed Carlos Marmol...a minor league deal, but still... He got released by the Marlins with an Ernie almost 8.00. Makes Hoover like like a control artist.

    Pittsburgh getaway game

    Simon v. Morton Can Alfredo hold up again in a start ? He's looked like a guy on a mission, and frankly, has been probably the 2nd best SP for the Reds so far. Morton is one of those unimpressive soft tossers the Reds often struggle with. You just never know what the Reds offense or the...

    You asked for more offense...

    ...so the Reds and Pirates put on a slo pitch HR derby in the rain.
