  6. Really THE RED'S SEASON TURN OUT LIKE OUR BENGALS NOWADAYS LAST YEAR'S PERIOD looking forward TO MAKE THE PLAYOFFS😮BEST thing now IS THE RED'S GETTING A NEW COACH!!!Still waiting for the same with our BENGALS PERIOD!!!

  9. Jesse winker was my favorite player before he got traded , he good for an .280 plus avg and 25 homers not like India who ppl worship for some reason being a .256 hitter 🤦🏾‍♂️

  10. I’m willing to give Jake Fraley a complete pass for the 2024 season. Baseball is a hard enough game to play when everything is going just fine at home. I cannot possibly imagine trying to focus on the minutia involved with batting adjustment at the same time, knowing that your little girl is fighting for her life on a daily basis. That had to take the strength out of him. That had to destroy his focus. And now that she’s better, I look forward to Jake having a rebound year.

  12. I think Santander slightly better than Hernandez just because of his age right now more than leaving other than that as usual. I agree with everything you said here today, Jeff. Good stuff as always!

  14. I like Jesse and his personality is really good, but he doesn't bring anything the Reds need. I don't care for a proposed deal with Hernandez simply because he wants to go back to the Dodgers, as does about everyone else, and not a team like the Reds. Id prefer a player who wants to be in our uniform! I don't like the idea of a player just settling for the Reds because he can't go where he really wants.
