Will tonight's attendance eclipse last night's whopper crowd?
Gotta have a pony, amirite!?

I would agree especially since we still get a PTBNL.
Love the story about Sonny hanging his uniform last night. That's classic.

It is Chicken and Egg....they had a chance. South Florida and Florida in general has always been a big baseball region, but it was fans of whatever team they supported in the North before moving down. So they came in 1993 and sucked like all expansion teams do....and it was going to take a while to get Yankees, Red Sox, etc. fans to buy in a little, and probably a generation before they began to be the #1 team in the area. Then 1997 happened, and by that postseason the area began to catch the fever and support the team.....then the day after the World Series they began to dismantle the team. All of the progress and emotional buy in from fans gone within a month. Late in 2003, it began to happen again, and management even assured fans they would not strip the team down this time....and damnit they did it again. Florida is a tough market because everyone already has their favorite teams, and it will take time for kids to grow up supporting the local team. Most Reds, Yankees, Dodgers, etc. fans are not going to change their team and until this current generation, almost nobody was raised in Florida....they all came from somewhere else with strong loyalties. I recall when I was in high school in the 90's...we had about 85 guys on the football team, and only one player was born in Florida. It takes time.....the only team in FL that has that deep fandom like northern teams is the Dolphins because they have been here forever. Next is probably the Buc's. The Heat and Magic are still mostly fair weather fans....as are the Jags.

Maybe Luis Castillo's evil twin brother, Louis Castillo, was pitching the first two innings.
I really want to see Castillo, Gray and Bauer pitching in playoff games for the REDS.

K!
Luis strikes out the side!
Looking much much better

Get Castillo’s first half, Bauer’s 2018 and Gray’s 2019 in 2020, and we just might.
The bullpen needs fixed too.
