Cincinnati Reds (2026 Season Thread)

[BigWoof31]

2 innings for Burns yesterday. 12 all spring. I'd love for someone in modern baseball to explain to me how pitching so few innings gets you ready to pitch a lot in the regular season (these new pitching regimens certainly haven't lessened pitcher injuries. if anything it seems like there more pitching injuries than ever)

Tom Glavine was on several Braves shows recently bemoaning the current training.
Yes, guys are throwing harder than ever and the movement is bananas.

But at what expense? Most bullpen sessions have guys hitting 92-94 miles an hour.
He said he never in 305 wins threw harder than 80% in a bullpen sesh. Dudes are working too hard.

I used to think Larkin wasn't that good as a commentator. Now I think he's pretty good

CB Buckner strikes again. That wasn't that close.

Sal could have picked the ball up with his other hand and stepped on the bag.

Abbott is pretty good. Thank God, with this Offense 2 runs would be insurmountable

 

[CMic]

1-0 in the 9th.

 

[Bestbuck36]

1 down 161 more losses to come?

 

[Thump]

0-162.

Book it.

 

[Bestbuck36]

God love your consistency @Thump

 

[Jaxbuck]

0-162.

Book it.

That’s a given.

Will they score this year? That’s the question.

You know the best thing about being 0-1?

The chance to be 0 and 2!

26 “man” roster and only two complete sets of testicles. Sally Baseball and Abbott.

The rest can just go fuck all the way off.

Watching the game from a Sox fan’s perspective the Reds Offense is mostly a complete joke. Still strike out with RISP with less than 2 outs and an alarmingly embarrassing rate. At no point did the game ever get anxious for me. Even with the bases loaded and 1 out I felt the next 2 hitters would be easy K’s and they were.
Glad Elly got ripped this off season. He needs the extra muscle to carry his massive ego and unrealistic expectations. Honestly he’s the most hilariously overrated Reds player I’ve seen since Kal Daniels.

Ouch. Kalvoski Daniels reference

At least Kal hit three homers on opening day!
