Article states there's plenty of LBs (sop & fr) due to go in & get their feet wet.

We have much more depth on the defensive side of the ball this season compared to last season. Some forget that we were self-imposing scholarships and carried less than 70 scholarship players the entire season due to the Pruitt mess. We are a much more complete football team this year.

Computer. I use a Dell desktop. I went to logon to ESPN & clicked on the Pawl Finebaum Show & was stuck w/ a picture saying this hasn't started yet. I waited a few minutes & it still did not work. I guess it could tell I was on Spectrum. So now, I have my doubts about us watching our game w/AP on Saturday. :(

38 pitchers have appeared in a game for the Reds....
23 have recorded a win
17 have started
9 have recorded a save
Connor Phillips became the Reds 63rd player overall.....The club record is 66 in 2022.
Phillips became the 16th Reds player to make his Major League debut this season, the most of any team in the majors...
Phillips became the 23rd rookie to play in at least 1 game for the Reds, the most of any team in the Major Leagues and tied for fourth-most in club history (26 in 1909, 25 in 2016, 24 in 1914 & 2017, 23 in 2022)...courtesy Elias Sports.
Phillips is 1 of 6 Reds pitchers this season to make his Major League debut as a starter (RHP Levi Stoudt, LHP Brandon Williamson, LHP Andrew Abbott, RHP Carson Spiers).
Reds rookies have combined for 54 HR (Spencer Steer 20, Matt McLain 16, Elly De La Cruz 11, Christian Encarnacion-Strand 6, Noelvi Marte 1)...tying the franchise record for home runs in a season by rookies is 54 in 2008 (Joey Votto 24, Jay Bruce 21, Chris Dickerson 6, Ryan Hanigan 2, Paul Janish 1).
The Reds are the first team in Major League history with 3 rookies, in a single season, with at least 10 HR & 10 stolen bases each (Elly De La Cruz, Matt McLain, Spencer Steer).

They are very fun to watch and a team on the rise to look out for in the coming years. They are doing what the Braves did, calling up the young guys and allowing them to grow together to create a great core group of players. I think it’s a smart approach and it will eventually payoff for the organization.

And more teams will adopt that approach too.
Gone are the days of prospects spending 6-8 years, working their way through the minor league system.

He has ruined his time with Dodgers even if he gets out of this charge they will not resign him... Remember they wouldn't touch Bauer and paid him so much of his contract to leave....

As they should, it’s the Dodgers, one of the most respected and storied clubs in MLB. They don’t need or should have to deal with nonsense like that!
JMO.
