Guys like India, Steer and Freidl are solid players who can help a team win. I think it is a little early to say those 3 pitchers ate bust. Not saying they will be like Smoltz or Glavine but it took.them a couple of years to fully develop to being star pitchers No, no...you're absolutely right about the three starters. I meant that I was hoping that they would shine this season...and be the players to kind of lead the Reds. I still believe they have that potential. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted May 25, 2023 Report Share Posted May 25, 2023 Reds lose to the Cards 2-1, got to listen to the whole game. Weaver pitched 6.1 innings 0 runs, 3 hits. Sims gave up 2 runs in the 8th after having no on and 2 outs. Reds had 1st and 3rd no outs but didn't score in the first. Had 1st and 3rd and 1 out didn't score in the 6th. Had 1st and 2nd and 1 out didn't score Reds scored their only run in the 9th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted May 26, 2023 Report Share Posted May 26, 2023 If my math is correct the A's are on pace for 31-131 record. With plans to move in place they are essentially a team without a home anyway for the next 3 years. I realize it would be a logistical nightmare travel wise for themselves and their division....but if I were MLB I'd identify 2-3 cities and allow each of them to be the home team for the A's. OKC, Nashville, Charlotte....Salt Lake City, Portland...anything is better than the current situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btownqb Posted May 26, 2023 Report Share Posted May 26, 2023 So.. the Reds are going to have Greene, Lodolo, Ashcraft, Stephenson, India, McLain, De La Cruz, and Steer? Along with 3 other pretty highly rated prospects... I might officially be intrigued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think giving 3-4 of those cities 20-25 A's 'home' games until Vegas is ready is an intriguing idea. Attendance would undoubtedly be better, and the cities that do the best job with the opportunity move to the top of the expansion list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give those cities either a certain number of games or a full season for their cities/communities to show off why they should get a team. Oakland is just a bad look for everyone. The A's already divorced them....makes zero financial sense to stick around for 3 years when others would gladly take them in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of those cities have a stadium that holds much more than Aviator Stadium which was Minor League ballpark of the year in 2022 (51-49 over Louisville according to Baseball Digest)... Get a head start on the fan base... And I think they already have an agreement in principle to play at Aviator Field...
