The end of last season? They have the same medical staff as the Memphis Grizzlies? Wait to fix an injury such that it screws up two seasons instead of one.

I have no idea I don’t have much faith in the Reds medical staff. By the way we play the Dodgers on ESPN this afternoon at 2pm for anyone that hasn’t seen them yet.

And it begins

The Reds have announced that they'll have ten games televised throughout the south, including Knoxville on OTA free stations starting with Opening Day two weeks from Thursday

Abbott named Opening Day starter. Guess that was a given after the Greene injury news.

Greene is out till July

Greene is out till July

Less than 500 IP over four seasons. The investment is not producing the desired results, good thing he is still relatively low cost.

I would go into ST every year knowing that I would need at least 6 viable SP's outside of him for as long as he is on the payroll.

No surprise but still a bummer. I'll be thrilled if he pitches half a season this year. He'll still have 3 months to get another sore leg muscle or a bruised elbow

My Cincy buddies and I used to call team Doc Kremchek by Doctor ClaimCheck.

Never been impressed at all.

Geno's RBI for the win in the WBC for VE. Congrats to them.

How are we feeling about Lowe making the opening day roster over Bleday?

Lowe is use him or lose him, I think. Bleday is not.

True. Also Lowe fills a role Francona wants: a pinch hitter with pop. He didn't have much of that last year

I saw Lodolo will open up the season on IL

Making the case for always starting the season with at least 7 viable SP's if you are in the Reds' org.

Year after year...

Opening against an AL team is just dumb, imo.

Yep. So glad we didn’t trade Singer away like was rumored or we would really be hurting. The bottom half of the rotation is relaying on two rookies with 14 combined starts and a guy who hasn’t pitched since 2024 not what we expected going into tomorrow.

Opening Day in the ‘Nati always feel optimistic then it usually goes downhill haha. One day I really hope to catch opening day in person.
