Too bad Xavier did not pull out the victor over Pitt. That would of kept the excitement going for Cincinnati basketball fans. Hope that isn't a sign of things to come. Pitts over a Cincinnati team. I certainly hope the Reds are better than the Pirates. Well, has to be some great games coming. The tourny has been lacking this year in buzzer beaters but all the number one teams are still alive and some great games to come.
Pitching esp starting pitching continues to be the Reds strong point but they will have to score some runs somehow. Hopefully they can get their starting 8 in there a lot this week and start pulling it together. How about a projection for the Reds this year? Old MRL will give you one after consulting with some of my friends. I need to do some research with Walt. No, not that Walt. You know no one here has any contacts. Walt is my barber. He keeps me clean and cuts any loose strings I may have. Walt knows everything. I learned a lot about him to become what I am.
Marty B said the Reds needed to improve catching, leadoff and SS and that these need were greater than a RH vet LF. Marty B is my plumber. Great guy. No plumber crack with him. AGon is still hurt and I am not sure he how much we can count on him during the year. I know Dusty is worried. Dusty is my neighbors dog but he knows more about playing ball that the Reds Dusty. Wow, catching has not improve. Hernadez throw like a girl. Worst I have ever seen in my years and years of covering baseball over the radio. Don'T ask me about seeing over the radio. I hope Taveras can get his OBP up. He will be an improvement over Patterson but not sure if he will be in the top third of leadoff hitters in terms of OBP.
So to sum it up old MRL is not sure the Reds have really addressed their off season concerns. One more week and we play for real. As always I will be by my radio and computer covering it second hand. Pitching can carry the Reds but with bad defense at catching and SS.. well time will tell along with me.
How about the comings and going in KY. Louisville is ROLLING and KY is REELING. Billy must of really tied one on after getting the axe. Billy sure did not bleed KY blue but did bleed KY Bourbon. Man sure did love a sort every now and again.. and again.. and again
