4-0 Reds wow

I liked India a lot but Singer is making that deal look like a steal for the Reds so far.

Let's give away some outs and runs.

Friedl can't count 3 outs. Fraley lets a single go past him for 3 runs.

Finally a win!!!!!

Alex Trevino has two games with two hits.
Luke Maile had three total games last year with two hits, two of which were his last two games as a Red raising his season average from .157 to .178.

Great day for Friedl . . . except for one boneheaded play . . . I don't entirely blame him for forgetting the number of outs in a long inning with a pitching change . . . kind of 'side-eyeing' the 1st base coach, though. A possible blessing in disguise for the team of young players that a teaching moment like this happened in a win.

Singer is legit. He's going to be facing a lot of #4 and #5 starters for a bit. 25 runs for support on 2 starts. Plus, as I was taught as a pitcher, a quick pace on the mound while throwing strikes keeps your defenders on their toes and they usually seem to be more alert at the plate.

Holy crap, not just a Steer hit, but a HR.

Reds' number 1 pick, number 2 overall, Chase Burns, made his debut for high A Dayton.  

4 innings, 1 hit, 1 walk, 6 strikeouts, 0 runs.

Terry Francona finding out he has his work cut out for him. Milwaukee has been a good team and Cincinnati has been a bad team, and it showed this weekend. Other than De La Cruz, I looked at Reds roster this winter and wondered where the hitting was going to come from, not much on hitters to start season. The hope is Pitching and Defense can win some games. The key word on hiring Francona was DEVELOP young players. Meaning when they dumped Bell, they admitted Reds were not going in the right direction. It is only April 6th. Francona just getting started. Maybe some can be developed. Others Francona might have to suggest just trade them, they don't have it, never will.
