5 championships Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 1 minute ago, Seeking6 said: Impressive run no doubt....but the feel good stuff of how they are playing now has to be balanced vs long term success. I'll say it again. IU gave Davis a contract because of one tourney run. All based on short term thinking. Trust me...I'd love for Girardi not to be in that dugout...as a Cubs fan. Girardi no doubt would be a good hire and has a better track record but I love the way Shildt has managed the pitching staff and how we now have an aggressive style with him.. stealing a lot more bases and hitting and running more.. we have cut down a ton on our strikeouts... playing a lot better D... I could barely watch us with matheny and now I don’t miss a game. It’s really fun to watch. We are a completely different team now with him. And He has a good way about him with the players. They seem to really respect\like him and really wanna win for him. I’ve been very very impressed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seemed to play too uptight like if they made a mistake they knew they’d be benched for awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted August 26, 2018 Report Share Posted August 26, 2018 The difference between the halves and halves nots are growing in the MLB and it is hard to be a fan of a team like the Reds. For the Reds to be competitive everything has to go right and you can't make any mistakes in free agency or trades or giving a bad contract to players. Small market teams can have a couple of really good years like KC did a couple of years ago but they just can't keep it up. These teams will lose all of their good young players once they hit arbitration or free agency to the big market teams. Watching the Reds/Cubs this weekend just shows the difference in the MLB because when the cubs lose starters they have the payroll to bring in someone like Murphy. If you just look at the benches of these two teams you can see how one team can pay good money for bench players and the other have young unproven players coming off the bench. When Bryant and Russel comes back the Cubs will have players like Happ and Zobrist and Russell coming off of their bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering if Homer was approaching rarified air after yesterday's game and just came across this from a poster on the Redszone................ According to Stats by Stats, the Reds now have the most team losses through 18 starts by a pitcher in a single season since the live-ball era began in 1908. Bailey’s record stands at 1-12. With Sunday’s 9-0 defeat to the Chicago Cubs, the Reds have lost the rest of his starts to tally a 1-17 record when he toes the rubber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
