Ross Grimsley pitched an eight-hit shutout with 7 K's for the Reds.

Fred Norman was traded to the Reds on June 12th for Gene Locklear. That is probably one of the most underestimated trades the Reds made. They basically got a very good starter that lasted for the rest of the 70's for nothing.

This has to be one of the ugliest pitching lines in Reds History. Haynes is already 0-4 and it's only April 17th.

Fred Norman was traded to the Reds on June 12th for Gene Locklear. That is probably one of the most underestimated trades the Reds made. They basically got a very good starter that lasted for the rest of the 70's for nothing.

I agree. That trade is often overlooked, but the Reds got a very solid member of the BRM's pitching rotation for a minimal cost.
