Seeking6 Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 9 games into the season and I find myself turning on MLB and wanting to watch other games vs my Cubs. One bright spot. Suzuki seems like the real deal. Been awhile since I've seen a disciplined hitter in the batters box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baseball is the one sport I enjoy watching more when I dont have a rooting interest. College hoops, any more I pretty much watch IU and the NCAA tournament and nothing else. NFL, I watch the Bengals, of course, but I'm watching other games primarily with an eye towards how my fantasy teams are doing. NBA & NHL? No interest in watching at all. But, baseball. I just really enjoy watching the game. And, watching is more enjoyable when the Reds are not involved. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catchers started using it in anticipation of throwing out base stealers. Somewhere Tony Pena is laughing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can watch football though all day any day....college or pros. Baseball though has me just ticked with my Cubs. Easier to watch somebody else. Speaking of someone else you just know the Reds are going to pull a Reds move and fire Bell early. Try to blame their roster on someone else.

I'm not a big Bell fan, but if they fire him at any point this season, that's plain dirty. They gave him a roster that would not win a Triple A championship. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think at least 10k Reds fans would buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 Beautiful night for baseball in the Windy City. 37 degrees and falling temps, wind gusts of 30 mph blowing in from left center...and chances of snow squalls. I don't have a degree in scheduling like MLB does but why they thought bringing Tampa to Chicago in April was a good idea instead of flipping the games. Shoot half of Chicago is in SW Florida this time of year anyway....Tampa would welcome the sold out games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And maybe the Haitians aren't winding the balls as tight this year... Seriously, all it's going to take is one team showing a different way to win...first team that can make the running game work for wins again will start the trend...

Never to a night game in April however. And yes. MLB makes no sense having Tampa playing in Chicago in mid April. They will probably have Cubs visit Tampa in mid July for an afternoon game as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted April 20, 2022 Report Share Posted April 20, 2022 Last night in the first Pham hits a home run and then in the bottom of the first Machado hits a two run homer. Tonight the exact thing happened again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
