I Think Reds Will Be FUN To Watch In 2024

I think, as it always does, it probably comes down to our pitching staff. Can they develop and take the next step ? Can they pitch into the 6th and 7th innings in more games and keep ERA down ? Can Greene become a true #1 ? Can Lodolo come back from his injury ? Will Abbott have a sophomore slump ? We'll see.

I hope it's fun.

It's rare for any SP to go 6-7 these days though. Baseball has gone the way of "twice through the batting order, then it's bullpen time". And that's fine I guess. What I'D like to see out of our SP is *minimal damage* and staying healthy. Our BP is deeper than last year, and last year it was a strength, so I have no problem if our SP only go 5-6 provided they aren't getting shellacked.
