IU Scott Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 Disco looked great last night with 7IP, OR, 2H, K's, 1W and that is not bad for you #5 starter. Also after watching the last 3 games against the Marlins I think that Miami does not deserve a team. It has to be depressing playing there when you can't even get 5,000 people in the stadium. I thought some of the Reds attendance was bad but nothing compared to what I have seen these last few games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know about his contract status, but Cincy needs to hold on to him. As far as Miami...FLA is just not a good place for MLB. Too many other things to do for pleasure.

Both teams in Florida needs to re locate. At one time I was hoping that Indianapolis would get a LB team but it will never happen. To many other teams in this location so they will never let Indy have a team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps, but media markets spin the wheel. Indy would be a good landing spot for a moving team. But there are other cities ahead of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 Aquino with #14. I may be the only person that went to a Reds game in August that did not see him homer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet only the Giants, Yankees, and Red Sox can say they've won more World Series Titles in the last 25 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there are other cities ahead of them. I know in the 80's when Jeff Smulyan owned the Mariners and at one time thought he might move them to Indy. He was from Indy so there were speculation about that but never happened. I have always heard that the Reds and the other cities around here did not want a team in Indy.

5fouls Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 With the proximity of so many other teams, Indy could not support a MLB team. Cubs fans aren't going to stop being Cubs fans. Cardinal fans aren't going to stop being Cardinal fans. Some Reds fans may jump, bot then you're hurting Cincy and still not getting enough support for Indy. Loyalties in baseball run pretty deep.

Part of the deal was they never could move the team. Michael Browning (Browning Investments) was the brains behind it. Not Smulyan...even though I think he had controlling interest. Browning had a kid at IU that I knew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 Caratini with 2 homers tonight. Cubs on the verge of a road sweep. We'll see. Mets still have two at bats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slojoe Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 Cubs win 4-1. I really like Caratini. He's a switch hitter who is primarily a catcher but also can handle playing 1B. He didn't show much HR power until this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
