Seeking6 Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 I've asked plenty and still can't get an answer so I'll try here for the baseball fans. I understand contingencies and having a scheduled day off in cold weather cities....but why in warm climates do they have a scheduled day off? Cubs start season and boom day off....I'd rather have that day off in August or Sept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 It was a great win for the Reds but did not like the way that Bell handled the pitching staff yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 Odds Yelitch makes it 5 games in a row with a dinger tonight. Considering it's the Reds in GABP, I'll put it at 93 percent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, smallest crowd ever at GABP last night...40 degree weather has a way of bringing people out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 Watching the Reds last night and I hate seeing managers pulling starters so early in the game. The reds pitcher had pitched 5 innings and gave up one run and the manager took him out and the very next inning the reliever gave up 3 runs. He had only 82 pitches and should have been able to go out a at least pitched one more inning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it is at all levels. My son only threw 4 innings yesterday gave up 1 hit no runs and 52 pitches but coach told him he was gonna go 4.

I agree with the coddling, but not so sure about the arm problems. Mark Fidrych, Fernando Valenzuela, Don Gullett...just to name some big names from the past.

Now it is about throwing as hard as you can for as long as you can then come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 Reds t got shut out for the second time this week with a 1-0 loss to Milwaukee. They are now 1-4 and have scored a total of 11 runs with 5 in the opening day win. Well I guess it looks like my baseball season will not last to long with another bad year for the Reds.
