Reds hosting Tigers 6/20

[Big Klu]

6-1 vs. AL Central this season.

hope you went over and stole the ball from him -- he'll never forget that one

Well that is not a nice thing to suggest.

Hate to say it but the reality check begins tomorrow night.

[Kingspoint]

just because they briefly appear in a game is hardly the same as letting them start. I'm especially confused about the (non) use of Blandino. If they've already decided on him being a limited bench player, I'd like to hear the reasoning for that.

Then they'd have to tell him that and they aren't going to do that.

Blandino is also 1 for his last 20 with 9 k's in that time. If anything he should be in AAA playing SS or an OF position unless of course they play Senzel playing there. An AB per game is not regular play but is also not atrophication. Bring up an older non-prospect like Iribarren to be the 25th man as he is versatile (can even pitch in a blowout) and it won't impede his own progress.

There have been so many rest days in the past 2 or 3 weeks the regulars need fewer days off than in periods where things will be a real grind.

Yes.

I see what you did there

Not a great pic, but a great day to be at the ol' ballpark!

(Two local vintage teams playing a game before "the" game.)

Doesn't look like anyone agrees with you.

Nice to see the REDS win the first game of a series. It's been difficult for them. But, then they win the series in the 2nd game on back-to-back easy victories. Nice.

No off day tomorrow. The Reds start a four-game series with the Cubs.

Really! Actually scheduled for 6 games this week!

Was actually a decent crowd for a weekday game. About 20,000, plus a bunch of kids on promotions that I doubt count as tickets sold.

That pic was during the exhibition game about an hour before first pitch.

Always liked any pregame stuff myself.

[Ironman92]

No way was there 20,000 in the park

It was a nice afternoon and great game. A nice breeze the first 6 innings....7th and 8th slow but a very good time today

[cumberlandreds]

On pace for 62-100.

Fallen below worst franchise record pace with this win. Reds are proving they can beat the really bad teams. Maybe that's some progress? Next 11 games are against very good teams in the Cubs,Braves and Brewers. We will see how much they have really improved by July 1.

I agree, except I'll add the July 4th series as well, as it's a good time to reevaluate again.
