@LanceMcAlister They need a total rebuild & if they can accomplish that it will be years before they contend again. Unfortunately I believe they r in disarray right now & their playoff window is closed for the near future.
@tony_pike15 Two mediocre teams at best. Neither will make the tournament. Their league schedules will be awful for them both. Crosstown Shootout has lost its magic.
@LanceMcAlister@700wlw I donβt understand why Lodolo was taken out after 14 pitches & replaced by Martinez. That is when the game became out of reach in my opinion. Did I miss something?
@SBalberg@simmonssteve I remember Gump Worley taking a puck to the face. He would get stitched up & back for the next period. Only Jacque Plant wore a mask. Forgot Gump played for Montreal. Just remember him as a Ranger.
@LanceMcAlister Starting defense did not look any better than last year. Borrow scrambling & getting hit especially in an exhibition game should not be happening. Throw the ball away or go down. Not sure if offensive line can protect Borrow. My conclusion is the first quarter leaves me worried.
@LanceMcAlister Reds will struggle to finish at .500. Some players have been huge disappointments while others have been a pleasant surprise. Just donβt think they have the pitching to be a playoff team. Hope I am wrong.
@Boomskie@Sportico@Brewers@MLB@Grampskie Nice article Barry. The Brewers r in the same situation as many other MLB teams. Reds, Pirates, etc develop players & have a short window to win before they leave for richer teams. Itβs not an even playing field.
