Reds Have Lodolo and Cubs have Brown on Sunday.
Reds had over 40 thousand in stands Saturday and expert more of the same Sunday. Add in Friday Night and Memorial Day Weekend will be one of the biggest Money Maker weekends for Cincinnati, and you need Money to make player moves in off season. Plus this money no longer goes to over paying Votto and Moose. For what he is doing, Reds are over paying Candelario and add in Diaz so far, but neither are Votto and Moose money.
So if Reds can win Saturday and Sunday and pack the stadium with Holiday Fans as they make a lot of Money, this will be a Great weekend for Cincinnati Reds. Another sold out Reds ballpark would be huge, and Sunday should sell out like Saturday, and I'm sure they had a good Friday Night crowd also. There is no giant TV revenue sharing as in NFL football, so in baseball, packing the stands with paying customers over Memorial Day Weekend is greatly needed. Next weekend at Chicago the Cubs make the money. This weekend Cincinnati makes the money. It is not NFL revenue sharing. This is a Big Money weekend for Cincinnati.
Need one more packed house and one more Reds win to make some packed house fans want to come back on a non holiday game. GO REDS.
As for Friday, Greene back from injury didn't go many innings. The more heathy he gets, the deeper into games he will go. Plus First Place Cubs are a good baseball team and hard to beat. It will take all Reds have Sunday to beat the First Place Cubs, but Lodolo gives Reds a good chance. Abbott did another fine pitching job Saturday.
Anybody on here complaining about Terry Francona only proves they don't know baseball. Francona and Madden did what others couldn't. Francona brought a World Series win to Red Sox and Madden brought a World Series win to Cubs. Plus Francona did well with Cleveland and Madden got the most out of the Tampa Rays. Cincinnati was lucky to be able to bring in a manager as good as Francona to help rebuild and bring along these young players. I hate to say it, but under Bell the Reds beat themselves a lot with sloppy baseball. Francona is trying to eliminate the slop and get them playing more heads up baseball. Sparky Anderson had to eliminate the sloppy play Reds were use to under Bristol, and Sparky did it at Detroit also. Francona is a winner, and Reds are lucky to have him. Poor base running and throwing to the wrong man lost Reds a lot of games under Bell. Francona is cutting way down on Reds beating themselves that way. Just as the last years of Marvin Lewis the Bengals made too many delay of game and illegal procedure penalties. Zac Taylor has them almost never getting called for that, as did Paul Brown. You eliminate the stupid mistakes, and it increases your chances of winning. That is what World Series Manager Terry Francona brings to the table.
