Reds @ Milwaukee Tues 8.25.20

[DocRed]

Overwhelmingly LHH lineup by Reds against the righty. Only two RHH, Cast and Suarez.

Let’s see if Reds can generate an offense or simply keep hitting everything into the shift.

Over under 2.5 GIDP for the Reds tonight.

The lineup should always be in the first post of the game thread when it's posted, not 37 minutes after the thread is started

Most English football clubs had badges like that at one point. They are usually the same as the coat of arms of the city they represent. The elephant represents St George and I believe the phoenix rising from the flames is a reference to the destruction of Coventry cathedral which was bombed by the luftwaffe during WW2. The problem emerged in the modern era with copyright and control of these emblems and most clubs changed to a corporate emblem they could control easier which is a shame as there were some historic ones that were replaced by quite bland designs. Man United's still contains a ship in full sail as a nod to the Manchester Ship Canal, while the oldest badge of LUFC has a hanging sheep in reference to it's history as a centre of the wool trade and the coat of arms of it's first alderman. Incidentally many english teams started out as industry works teams and their nicknames and badges come from the factories whose employees created the teams (Sheffield United - the blades Rotherham United- the millers from steelworking), Luton Town - the hatters, Arsenal - the gunners, orginally workers at a major weapons manufacturer the Woolwich Arsenal. Stoke - the potters etc. Bit of useless information while we're waiting for the first pitch

So Mr Redlegs sitting on a bowl of Skyline chilli underneath a flying pig?

I agree but got sick of waiting. They lost last time I started a game thread and wanted to break the juju.

I don’t know how much more I can take, and it’s only Been two batters.

[Red Raindog]

And six pitches equals two K’s

Don't sweat it.

I just remember when RedsZone had rules.

3 straight k's. I tried, I think I'm done for the night.
