If you have a losing record at Reds games, please stop going.

It's so difficult to read into anything with spring training stats, but to me I'm encouraged today because of the pitching, the fact with a .500 record the Reds are bombing the D'backs, who happen to have a winning record. And I'm REALLY not missing the offense from last year.
Kind of miss Suarez striking out every time someone was on base. (sarc)
He, Buck Farmer, Reiver Sanmartin, Luis Cessa, Tony Santillan, Art Warren, and Ryan Hendrix have pitched 30 innings and have yet to give up a run amongst them.
Were that to continue throughout the entirety of the regular season, I'd argue the Reds would have a pretty good bullpen.

Lodolo deserves to be in the rotation to start the season. 11.1 innings with 3 runs allowed, a 0.97 whip, and a BB/SO ration of 2/12. He went 4 innings and 70 pitches today. He's more big league ready than Greene and is much better than Gutierrez.

Moran 3-5 with 4 RBIs today, maybe he isn't history's greatest monster after all?
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”

He's still blocking Schrock, Lopez and to a lesser extent Freidl for no apparent reason. If you are going to punt the season in November, why block younger guys with a re-tread signing in March? If he was a signing to be a cornerstone for three or four years, I'd get it, but he's a stopgap that barely fills the gap he's supposed to stop and they have other in-house stoppers for that same gap.
Unless he performs so well that the Reds could deal him in July for a long-term piece (something I can't imagine happening), he's roster clutter.
All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!
