After spending a week down at Spring Training and seeing the character of the guys today... look out for the Reds! thumb Look for 'em to stay close to the top (remember, they were leading the division until a horrible series with the Cards in June last year) and then hopefully make a move to get a true ace. As long as our pitching can keep games close, we'll be fine. Dunn, Kearns, Casey, Griffey... we're gonna put up some numbers.

 

GO REDS!

yea Adam Dunn can stroke! now he will go about 0 for his next 10 to get his battin average back down to where it was last year B) . honestly, if anyone watched the game the Reds looked completely horrible against Pedro after his rocky first inning, which was expected in his first inning for a new team in a new league. after that he settled down and made them look silly....struck out like 12 of the next 13. thats just one win against a team that isnt even a playoff contender. they can swing the bat but like i said....their starting pitching will be their downfall, and it should have been today since their ace got stroked.

 

if the Cubs swing the bat like they did today they wont even need Wood and Prior this year. they made a good pitcher look like a high school kid.

Honestly, I watched the game and Pedro was on it man. HE made the Reds look silly, sure. An AWESOME pitcher can do that to ya. I said to my friend though "once he gets out of the game, we'll hit the ball and we'll pull out the W." What happened? We hit the ball and pulled out the W. A very high-quality win over a good team. The Mets are very improved... they'll contend.

That offense will have to average 7 or 8 runs a game for the Reds to even sniff 90 wins with that pitching staff.

As of late PM Tuesday, April 5, the Cardinals were 1-0. .... Soooo, until they lose, I'm saying 162-0 with the division title locked up by the All Star Break. :P

 

Seriously, I just don't see anyone dethroning the Cards this year.

Haha...me and you have the same thinking....lol

 

Cardinals beat the Astros 7-3 with Edmonds hitting a three run jack and Larry Walker and Reggie Sanders also homered with Carpenter pitching 7 innings and 4 hits.....Today Jason Marquis pitches against Andy Pettite......GO CARDS.....161 to GO!!!!

    • Why did the coach get rehired after she was let go as an assistant by the former Warren County coach and the current AD?? Is that accurate?? I am very familiar with situations like this. Suprised lawsuits haven't happend before. If the coach unfairly let the player go, I think she has a shot because it cost her a scholarship. No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team. Not going to happen. There are bad hires like this a bunch and kids are treated unfairly by coaches that can't coach a lick and have super long ropes somehow. Amazing how some of these coaches get hired and keep their job. 
    • I am going to assume you are not a lawyer, and most reasonable lawyers would not say the lawsuit has a zero percent chance in court. I agree with you that a coach has the ability to dismiss anyone from a team. However, Ms. Winfree was never presented with the opportunity to present her witnesses and have them tell the coaches and administrators what they heard. A lawyer could better explain the lawsuit and the grounds to you. Before you start making wild assumptions about the lawsuit, would it be too much to ask that you do a little legal research first? The lawsuit is dealing with due process, loss of property, and defamation.   You can read the lawsuit here: https://bdnewsletter.files.wordpress.com/2024/04/doc-1-complaint-filed-4-18-2024.pdf  
    • The administration took the path of backing the coach and whispering to people that the kid was a problem. The reality is that the kid was never a problem on a team or classroom. The player says she has witnessed who back her not saying the f-word.  Why did the coach make that story up and other stories? I am not Sigmund Freud and do not have an answer for the ex=-coach's behavior..  
    • I think they have they coach they want close to being done. I guess we will all see how this plays out. I hope the hire a good one. There are some players in the box for the next coach to work with.
