@RedsDaily4 Zero chance Benson starts. Hopeful Burns can go 3+ innings today.....
English

@Nati_Sports Agree. Split up the Elly and Geno Ks. I did, however like Geno protecting Elly....but, if Sal rakes that might even be better protection.
English

I think Eugenio strikes out too much for my liking to bat him cleanup.
Sal likely extends innings and then gives Geno a lot of chance to bat guys in seeing more fastballs.
It's amazing how much prettier this #Reds lineup is in 2026 compared to 2025. I feel confident in this group.
English

@char_cliff Really. Only Williamson and Moll got any outs. The rest pretty much sucked eggs.
English

@Nati_Sports I don't unfollow, I just scroll right on past Bengals talk. Wished you had a Reds only X.

Brady Singer (blister) is back on the mound tonight for the Reds exhibition against Milwaukee.
Good sign for the start of the season for the durable right hander who recently summed up his approach this way:
"No matter how I feel, I'm still gonna go out there. I don't care how I feel. They pay me to go pitch, so I'm gonna go pitch no matter how I feel or what's going on. Just go do it."

@DavSatch I’m not being serious. Knight is the greatest coach in college hoops history.
English

@dotsonc Chad. Are you serious? I'll name 3. You must be a Knight hater.....I get that, so I added another two for good measure.
1. Bob Knight
2. Branch McCracken
3. Kelvin Sampson

@Nati_Sports Agree. Might not be good confidence booster for Marte but prolly the best lineup.

Nati Sports' Opening Day Lineup vs Garrett Crochet:
1) TJ Friedl - CF
2) Matt McLain - 2B
3) Elly De La Cruz - SS
4) Sal Stewart - 1B
5) Eugenio Suarez - DH
6) Spencer Steer - LF
7) Tyler Stephenson - C
8) Dane Myers - RF
9) Ke'Bryan Hayes - 3B
Noelvi is a tough sit, but I don't like his production against LHP career wise. Has a lot to prove.
Dane Myers was added to this team to hit LHP.
What would you change?
English

@ObscureExReds Not terribly below but the players we have now to replace those ABs shoud Greatly improve on them. Sal, Suarez, 2023 McLain, Lowe, healthy Elly and healthy Steer, contact season for Stephenson and much better AAA bat in Bleday.....
English

@CryMarie531 @SleeperPacers Agree. Hard to pass on AJ though.
English

@DavSatch @SleeperPacers If they for the number one they could absolutely leverage the pick by trading down for #3 or #4 pick. They could get another player or another 1st round pick and still stay in top 4 they might do it.
English

Zach Lowe suggests the Pacers could leverage their first round pick if they retain it:
“Indiana would probably lean toward just using the pick and trying to draw two timelines at once…Real interesting trade piece, depending on where it falls, given that they clearly are going into next season in a win-now mentality”

Oh boy 😂😂😂
