Reds have a chance to win their 19th game today. I hope they do, so they can then go for win #20. Try to salvage the second half of May and get as close to 30 as possible. Reds owners need money. 2020 covid no fans in stands and 2021 and 2022 few fans in stands. Reds bounced back in 2023 with good attendance but were still being hit with Moose and Votto contracts. It is rather key for Reds to win a few games so that they have huge crowds in Cincinnati during the long Memorial Day homestand. Reds who sometimes get shafted being on the road on major holidays, are in a great position to make Big Money with 3 teams coming to Cincy during the upcoming holiday. A good chance for the working class to be able to holiday at games in Cincinnati.
I mention this because the Reds are NOT the deep pocket New York Yankees or the LA Dodgers. Cincinnati is a lot smaller. Covid was a huge financial setback for the smaller town Cincinnati, than NY or LA. However Reds got fans back in 2023. Reds NEED fans also in 2024, at park spending MONEY. If you want this team to stay in Cincinnati and also be a play-off team, Fans need to Spend Money. Reds have a chance to make BIG MONEY over the long Memorial Day homestand of 3 teams coming to Cincy.
Never compare Bengals to Reds, because NFL has TV Revenue Sharing for Bengals, and Reds don't get anything close to TV Revenue of NY or LA. It is more balanced for Bengals than Reds. Reds won World Series in 1990, but the no World Series and strike of 1994 made MLB all for the Big City Rich. and Smaller Cities became The Poor Boys. The 1994 strike changed MLB huge. Reds are in dire need of Making MONEY at GABP in a rare year where they actually have a long homestand over a major summer Holiday. Bengals Fans talking how Reds can spend money don't get it, Reds have to Make Money this month in GABP over Holiday Homestands. Make Money, NOT Spend Money. Bouncing back from 2020, 2021, 2022 money losing years.
So hoping Reds get win 19 today, so they can then go after win 20. Maybe fall somewhere between 25 and 30 wins end of month, and BIG BUCKS coming into Reds Organization due to Huge Crowds in GABP over the Holiday. THAT is the short range goal. Not play-offs, that is long range goal. Short range goal is win some games and make a ton of money at GABP this month in May. MONEY is the overlooked stat by Fans. Reds need MONEY more than hitting or pitching. Reds have a chance to bring in Big Money over this coming long Holiday Homestand. The Reds Owners lost their rear ends on 2020 no fans and 2021, 2022 few fans. Reds owners were forced to consider moving out of Cincinnati. But 2023 was a Money Maker and a Big Memorial Day Time long home stand is needed to really bounce back big in the Money end of MLB for Reds.
GO REDS.
If Diaz could turn it around and start pitching like the 2023 Diaz, that would help. So far he stinks, but if he could turn it around and get out of his pitching slump . When Diaz is on his game, he is 30 to 40 saves guy. Closers do go through slumps, so hopefully Diaz gets back on track. Instead of blowing games, he comers in and gets them out, no runs, seals the wins.
