Conspiracy Theory: Is Cingrani actually Jim Coombs in disguise?
Think about it... Have you ever seen them both on the same field or in the same photo? I know I haven't.

I'm just planning to be a fan of the 2018 Reds. Reading about Brad Lesley today reminds me just how much I don't want the 2018 team to be like the 1983 team.
The Castellinis might not own the team in 2018. I'd prefer that they not burn up all the fuel from the rocket between now and then. Burn some now and save some for 2018.

2018 is quite a ways away. If Cingrani is still doing well in 2018, I suspect the Reds could have money to pay him as some of the guys making larger salaries will be done or elsewhere by then. Arroyo for one probably won't be with the Reds. I suspect a couple of other starters will be gone too. Just the law of averages. Players get hurt, others underperform, and some just get replaced by talent coming up through the system. Unlike past regimes, I feel confident the current one can sufficiently manage the roster and salaries to keep the players worth keeping and replace the ones that are not.
Wear gaudy colors, or avoid display. Lay a million eggs or give birth to one. The fittest shall survive, yet the unfit may live. Be like your ancestors or be different. We must repeat!

"The last major league rookie pitcher with 11 or more strikeouts and two or fewer hits allowed in a start was Philadelphia's Cole Hamels on August 3, 2006 (12 strikeouts, 2 hits allowed)."
A bit of a quantum leap I would say.....
Isn't there a designated Tony Cingrani Thread?

I love Cingrani. But can't we put these all in one thread?

They already merged 2 threads. Can we keep the Cingrani enthusiasm in one thread please?
