I'm not so sure - he once was a pretty touted prospect and he's only been with the organization a few weeks - I think our pitching coach may think he can turn him into the diamond people once thought he could be before he turned into a lump of coal.

I'm sure whomever has options (Sal?) will be first to go

If their was an MVP Award for Spring Training, India won it by a landslide as he changed the entire direction of the season just through his accomplishements, though those 30 days was only a continuation of the progress he made from July of 2019, where we had some information on it, but the organization obviously had a lot more.

man, this team looks legit. too early to eat crow? i want to eat some crow. i thought the reds would be sub-.500 this year. sure hope i was wrong and so far it's looking like i might have been way wrong. i love it.

extremely early. 5 games into a 162-game season. but damn. i love what i'm seeing.

chances are good a pitcher will need to go on the IL by then. if not, even better. good problems to have.

I said 85 wins and I'll tick with that for now. But...

i mean, 85 wins is better than 78 or whatever i said.

Sal is out of options iirc

So, uh, are the reds going to win the World Series?

More curious, do they repeat next year?

Just as everyone who replied to the earlier tweet expected.

Watched this game on a tape delay and DAMN we were firing on all cylinders, helped by the Pirates being god awful.

I love that we're destroying some teams to start the year, though. Hopefully we can keep that mojo going.

[cumberlandreds]

Who are these guys?!? Scoring runs and pitching well. This can't be the Reds? Or can it? Just keep piling up the wins and see what happens.

What's the over/under on how many times each game Larkin looks at Sadak and thinks to himself "man, this guy is a goober"...

I'm certain that Sadak is a guy I would have hung around with in high school or college. The geek/nerd is strong with him, but in a good way.
