TJ Friedl, CF Matt McClain, 2B Elly De La Cruz, SS Charlie Condon, RF Noelvi Marte, 3B Spencer Steer, LF (platoon with Will Benson) CES, 1B Tyler Stephenson, C Jeimer Candelario, DH (Blake Dunn?) Love everything about this except Candelario DHing, but yeah, with the young pitching we have, that's a lineup you can win a championship with.

Lodolo has been amazing since his return. Hate to say it, but ever since last year, I am anxious every time Diaz comes into the game.

2 fuggin hits from a lineup full of sub .200 hitters. What's going on with Steer right now after his start is baffling.

I wasn't a fan of taking a college pitcher after what happened to Finnegan, but it looks like they took there time and didn't let the contract become an issue with Lodolo. Looks like a pretty good pitcher, arriving right at about his ETA? He is 26, right.
Like the pick. Reminds me of Steve Carlton, or something. Not sure, can't get the games where I live.

I agree though, watching them on tape delay is a drag. Not complaining...just resigned to the fact that we're gonna be swept by the Orioles. 1 fuggin run in 18 innings. Sad we don't have ML quality players waiting in the wings. Just like the past 30 years, we'll be out of the running by mid-season. At least it's not done after the 1st two weeks of the season like two hears ago.

3 big ole singles in a route and completion of the sweep today. 2 runs in 27 innings. Truly embarrassing, and management has given us garbage for yet another year. Sux to be a fan.

I was at the Friday game. EDLC looked like the only professional hitter in our lineup. We badly need McClain, Friedl, Marte, and one of Condon/Bazzana (either one should move quick) in this lineup. I hated that Candelario contract as soon as we did it and I hate it even more now.
Hunter Greene looked great though, despite struggling a little bit with control he battled and got big outs when he needed them.

It's sickening and depressing to trot the same old garbage out there game after game. I understand we have no other options. That's on management.

Yeah the Candelario signing never made much sense but it is now feeling more and more like a Mike Moustakas level bad move as each day goes by

Last night's box score shows 14,485 people at GABP last night. Do hard-working people actually pay hard-earned money to watch this garbage? Looks like we're on the way to the 7th loss in a row tonight. I'd rather give my money to a street walker than line the pockets of Reds owners.

Way to c9me through in a "pinch", Benson. All you had to do was lift a fly to the outfield to tie the game.

If i'm paying anything, i'm paying half as much for everything and going to a Dragons game. Dragons have way better food too. Still had to drop $200 to feed 7 people at the game, not to mention $15 for parking 6 blocks away.

I don't see how the average person does that on a consistent basis, or why at all given the product on the field. The only vote the fan has is with the wallet. As long as the fans make ownership fat and happy, I would expect no changes.
