Charlie Finley didn't have anywhere close to the resources the McRicketts have though... He was a latter day Bill Veeck...and like Veeck (who had to sell the Indians in 1949) a divorce forced him to sell his team 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 Reds could struggle in this series against the Cardinals. They are terrible against LH starters and they will face two I'm this series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 Once again the Reds are struggling against a struggling LH starter. Lester and his 5.22 ERA had given up 1 hit which was a homer. Reds down 2-1 going to the 5th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted August 31, 2021 Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 Every team just needs to pitch LH pitchers against the Reds the rest of the year. The Refs is 2-5 the last 7 games and the problem had mainly been the hitting. The Reds offense is so inconsistent with them either being red hot or just non existent. The last 3 games they have scored 1 run in each game and have been outscored 11-3. Of those 11 runs the Reds gave up 9 have been scored in the first inning.

IU Scott Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 Another bad start for the Reds down 2-0 in second. The 4th straight game they have given up a run in the first inning. I see no way this team makes the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 Reds offense is atrocious right now and nobody is hitting at all. Today the best hitter was your starting pitcher who was 1-1 with a two run double They either ate red hot or ice CD and there is no on between with.tjid team. They can have a good two week down where they might go 11-3 and look really good. Then the next two weeks they will go 5-9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 I hate listening not David Bell's post game interviews. He is do monotone and boring to listen to and you couldn't tell if he has a pulse. Give me a Pinnella or Davey Johnson who wouldn't tolerate how this team is playing. If I was manager they would probably be having to use the bleep button every few words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are 71-63 but have losyn6 out 6 out of 8. Everytime they seem to have everything going and get 13 or 13 games over ..500 they go into a slump.

I'm wondering if the Yanks will do the same. What once was a tight race with the Rays, now seems to be a runaway for Tampa. Yanks need to concentrate on the wild card, and that seems tenuous right now with only being 2 games up. This west coast trip has been brutal for the guys in pin stripes, having lost 4 straight games....

Seeking6 Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 Cubs are 23 games out of first in NL Central. Season ending records only we've been a total of 11 games out of first from 2015-2020. I don't even know half the guys on the team right now. Probably my last Cubs complaint but man no way did I ever see this coming from 2015. Can't remember the last game I actually watched. Fun time of year though as the calendar switches to September. Enjoy the playoff races! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 Is the Cardinals ongoing to challenge every Homer the Reds hit. They over turned a two run Homer from Suarez and now the Costellanos Homer. I think he had a crack at the end.of his bay which had been discussed I'm previous games.
