That's the spirit. It's a marathon not a sprint. That's why it's such a beautiful game. Any chance I get to rile some Birds, I'm going to by God.

weather is gonna be great tonight so I'm hitting up the Reds / Royals scrimmage at Slugger field
Even though it’s just a scrimmage between scrubs, it’s still very nice to be at the ballpark. Beer and hotdog in hand
Reds rolling tonight. 14-1 going to bottom of 7. India is going to be a cult hero if he keeps up his hot start!
I LOVE that the Reds have had a game where they'd obliterated the Pirates and the Cards. This offense won't always score that much (and tonight was helped by the Pirates being terrible) but I'll always take winning the first two series of the year, especially against division opponents.
It’s a long season, but fellas I’m very very very excited about this team at the moment. They’ll inevitably cool off some, but it’s sure as hell fun to watch while they are hot. They don’t even have Geno hitting the ball yet and doing this kind of damage. I must say I needed this from the Redlegs after this past basketball season.
100% agree, a horrible loss (2 really, in one day).
Should we start an "Amir Garrett Sucks" thread?
Hell yes. "Bump this thread if you want Amir Garrett to get his head out of his ***"
It's on Bally Sports Ohio aka the Artist Formerly Known as Fox Sports Ohio. 8:15 first pitch. Watching the Cats and Tide right now until Reds time
Reds were no better than .500 team prior to the season. No idea why anyone thought different, especially w/ the inept management they have.
Their lineup needs to be blown up, have to sit Votto (WAY over the hill) and get Senzel in the lineup and hitting, get Moustakas back, then MAYBE they can score a few runs, the first few games of the season were awesome, but now looking like fools gold.
Agree re Votto, don't agree re Senzel. Senzel's a huge draft miss, didn't hit his weight last year and is in a freefall this year plus he can't stay healthy. Reds whole deal is they're trying to win ML games but don't have ML talent to compete. With the worst Front Office in baseball their situation is hopeless.
LIke I said, he needs to be in the lineup AND hitting, which as you point out, he is not doing right now. But he isn't going to learn to hit major league pitching any better on the bench. I don't see Kyle Farmer as being the answer. As an example, Winker got off to a slow start to his career, but eventually developed into a starting OF, hoping for the same for Senzel.
I do like India so far, and Winker and Castellanos are doing all you can ask at the top of the lineup. It would greatly help if Suarez would get his head out of his *** and start hitting.
The Reds don’t have anyone with much 1b experience. Will be interesting to see who gets the call. Maybe Moose to 1st and shift Suarez to 3rd and Farmer to SS?
Where are the fireworks for Miley’s no-hitter.
17th in franchise history, since 1892!!
I think the Reds had a pitcher toss two-in-a-row in maybe 1958.
And I think that has only been done once. Maybe Miley pulls off the second back-to-back no no’s?

In response to my own posts, above:
“Conversely, the shortest interval between no-hitters was a mere four days, between the two consecutive no-hitters pitched by Johnny Vander Meer, on June 11 and June 15, 1938.[6]”
