Bauer then Gray then Mahle then Castillo....and Reds with no days off coming so Disco & Wood but who else Mon, Tues, Wed. Sims maybe ? Stephenson ?
4 game starts in 30 hours is different. Still, it is Reds against 1st place Cardinals. Fans may have quit, but the players and coaches can't quit. So Reds have to try to win 3 of 4 games in 33 hours time.
If any of these go extra innings, Yikes. If more than 1 goes extra innings, Oy Vey.
The Reds will sleep well tonight. Go to park all day and night. Go to motel & eat and sleep. Wake up and go to park all day and night. Then quickly to airport to fly to Cincy and to bed. Wake up and play afternoon game with Philly. The is putting the Labor in Labor Day Weekend for Reds.
Starters will be counted on to go as long as they can because you can not use the same bullpen pitchers 5 games in 48 hours. If a starter gets roughed up. he may have to stay on mound and take one for the team.
They do not need any dugout clearing brawls making these games go longer and players tossed out of games.
Anybody on here who watches every inning of 5 Reds games in 48 hours deserves Reds Fan Of Year. I can't even imagine doing it. Not even when I was a kid. Kirk Douglas Day on TCM including Spartacus will be my remote options Saturday. I do not plan to watch Ohio State play opening day push over Florida Atlantic, a real garbage match up that big schools schedule for easy wins
