Looks like the Mariners got two safeties and the Refs got 1, 15-2 in the 4th innings 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATX_sig Posted March 24, 2023 Report Share Posted March 24, 2023 I don't see injury issue with WBC. MLB teams are closely tied in to what is going on with their players. There are a lot of restrictions on the pitchers so WBC is just another form of spring training. It's not like they are throwing 120 pitches to win a game. Diaz got hurt jumping up and down in celebration. Fluke injury it seems. Unfortunate for Altuve but Rhys Hopkins was injured in Spring training and will miss the season. Maybe he should played in the WBC instead. Appreciate Joey Votto and his dedication to the Reds and love of the city. Seems at this point he might want to go for the ring and Philly has a need.

I will be very disappointed if Votto plays anywhere other than Cincy. Another down year, maybe I'll feel differently. But, he is a Cincy legend.

Seeking6 Posted March 26, 2023 Report Share Posted March 26, 2023 Fun fact for the Reds fans. The Kid will make $3.59M this year as part of his 2000 contract extension. He'll be the 4th highest paid player on the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's that the team is so damn cheap, that $3.59M is the 4th highest salary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he has a decent to solid year this season and then hangs hem up. Don't want him to finish out his career somewhere else. And, the Reds better not do things in such a way where the fans don't get a Joey Votto night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey has really been growing on me the last few years. I don't know his history in terms of ever hinting at chasing a title but two things. Reds should do a Joey Votto night in July before trade deadline because I have to believe he's worth something (if showing that during season) at the trade deadline. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Dirctv bailed me out and are giving the Extra Innings package for free. I was going to dump Dirctv after the NBA package expired because my employee perk of free NFL sunday Ticket is no longer on DTV. This is probab;y a reaction to keep Sunday Ticket people from dumping the service but I'll take it. Maybe i'll move on from DTV after MLB season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted March 29, 2023 Report Share Posted March 29, 2023 Man. It's Opening Day tomorrow. This just snuck up on me. Time to dust off The Natural and Bull Durham later and give them a watch tonight. Always gets me in baseball mode. Forecast for Wrigley tomorrow isn't bad. 50 and PC....Friday and Saturday though? Tornado and snow. No clue why they don't start this series in Milwaukee indoors. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the bullpen will be solid... Who knows? If Bellinger can get straightened out, we might be pretty good... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
