It's not long now - bengalfan74 - 03-19-2024
Only 7 more S.T. games remain and just a bit over a week and it's opening day.
I remember thinking WTF ? when they picked up Candelario. But with the Marte situation and now Friedl being out for 2-3 months its probably a good thing they did.
Looks like it's shaking up as:
1B CES
2B McClain
SS Elly
3B Candelario
LF Steer
CF probably platoon of Fairchild/Benson/Fraley/India??
RF Benson/Fraley
C Stephenson/Maile
DH India/CES/Fraley I still can't get used to having a DH
I have high hopes for this season, it's time to make some noise. Come on pitching staff.

LOL
I was just about to ask ''Has McClain picked up a hit yet?'' The last that I saw he was 0 for Spring Training. Maybe the shoulder injury explains it.

Expectations high this year? Don't worry, the baseball gods will take care of that! Ahh the life of a Reds fan!

Snake bit.
Three of our expected starters out before season begins !! And for who knows how long on two of them. And I'm not sure Lodolo is really full go yet ?
RE: It's not long now - Forever Spinning Vinyl - 03-21-2024
With our luck as Reds fans, this will be the one year where all of the young starters are healthy and live up to their promise while this is the year that they can't keep a healthy lineup on the field.
If that happens and we see headlines of "Pittsburgh Pirates 2024 NL Central Champs", I may just give up on baseball. <---period

Lets just put the entire team on the DL until next season.
RE: It's not long now - guyofthetiger - 03-22-2024
I'm ready for some baseball. Let's hope the Reds can have a great season even with the injuries. Now I see why they signed India and Candelario.
