  1. Yeah, complete games still meant something then.
  2. Yeah, the Reds decided to take a chance. He’s 2-2 so far, but hasn’t been as strong as they’d hoped. I’m not sold on him, but perfectly willing to give him more time. He threw 66 pitches into the third inning and 32 were balls. He had no command of his pitches whatsoever.
  3. Just now walked lead off in 3rd followed with another home run. He’s walked five in 2 innings. Take him out. He’s thrown over 65 pitches.
  4. Former Cub dead at 78. Cause of death - heart issues. Passed away Sunday.
  5. IUFLA…did you see that Jade just passed away on Wednesday.
  6. Just saw on BTB that Jade died Wednesday. Another of the greats from the ‘67 Rose Bowl team. Terrific receiver with great hands who was All Big 10 in ‘68 and ‘69, All American in ‘69. Damn. RIP Jade.
  7. What is wrong with Spieth? He seems lost to me. He’s struggled for a few years now and seems unable to find an answer to his inconsistent play. His swing drives me nuts. Too much success too early?
  8. That would be a nice story. But I don’t think it’s going to happen. At 4 over, he’s going to have to shoot a really good score today to make the cut. I hope he does, but I doubt he has it in him.
  9. I think some UK fans believe Sampson, at 68, is too old. 🤷‍♂️
  10. Holy crap! That kid has some amazing handle for his age. Don’t like seeing what appears to be some type of protective gear on his leg already. Maybe growth related? I have no clue…or kids.
  11. “If you mean Durocher, he’s dead and the other one…yeah, it’s dead too.” I could hear CCC saying something akin to that.
  12. Son Of Ben…coming to a theatre near you this summer.
  13. I don’t agree with your opinion about TKR and Karaban.
  14. Perfect! Went to a funeral yesterday and leaving for another one in about 20 minutes. Thanks, Rico! 😂😂 I hate kids!
  15. Obviously, you have no recollection of Alley Oop. 😂😂
  16. Well, you know the Reds. Greene was at 99 pitches. They are watching all the young starters because of the injury histories, I guess. I’m not disagreeing with you, but that’s just the way they play the game. And I’m aware that you believe it’s stupid, but it ain’t gonna change. They’ve invested big money, for the Reds, in Greene and don’t want to take any chances.
  17. Reds defense looks pretty bad right now. Elly De La Cruz has made 4 errors, mostly on throws, in 7 games. That’s beyond bad. He’s going to have mgmt thinking about switching him to the outfield if he keeps this up. Or he may find himself back in the minors.
