So do I ELDC gets all the hype but Steer is a solid ball player.

He and McLain have certainly had more production than hype.

Montas was steady 6 IP, 4 hits, 4 strikeouts, and most importantly no runs.

Real nice opening game. Remember last year we were playing the likes of Wil Meyers, Vosler and Luke Weaver

I threw up in my mouth a little with that post.

Good start. This team has a strong core of players.

Grand slam HR from Steer in the 10th.

Harper strikes out representing the tying run and the Reds win. They're now 3-1 on the season.

All Reds fans here.

Should give a loud cheer.

For Spencer Steer!

Definitely one of the more underrated players in baseball

ELDC is going to have to step up his fielding game. Those two errors last night were horrendous.

I think it's a lack of concentration. He needs to be told that we are flush with slick fielding SS and that if he doesn't shape up, the OF is waiting for him.

If it makes him a better offensive threat, let's move him. Some guys cannot handle the mental side of playing in the IF and still be a good hitter.

After about a 7 hr rain delay, Reds win 4-1 and take the series, beating Zack Wheeler

Big hits from Encarnacion-Strand and Steer. Fernando Cruz and his splitter is really looking nasty

Another home run by Spencer Steer!

What a baseball player!!! Just incredible!!!!!

Lodolo with a freaking gem. 5.2 IP shutout with 10 k's and only 1 hit and 1 BB. Now that is encouraging.

Should have given the Greene contract to him IMO.

He's putting up MVP numbers so far this year

I enjoyed this weekend but the White Sox are absolutely a horrible team right now. They're playing lackadaisical ball right now and it's only mid April. That's crazy. They're dropping fly balls, walking tons of hitters and swinging early in the count like they can't wait to get to the bars in Chicago. I think this current Reds roster is a .500 team but they blew out the Chisox in every game. I don't know what their situation is on the south side but I suspect it's organizational

 

[Burhead]

Another Lodolo gem. Than ELDC did ELDC things by hitting a single, stealing second, stealing third, and scoring on an error.

You and I both loved Lodolo coming out of college. Lodolo was always going to be ready quicker. Greene came out of HS as a raw power thrower. Lodolo was already a "pitcher" while Greene is even now still learning how to be one.

I 100% agree. I would much rather have locked in on Lodolo over Greene.
