@JamesRapien Why are we moving our starting cf out if cf

Eugenio Suarez is officially back. His first home run of the season gives the Reds a 3-2 lead. That’s a BIG one for the All-Star.

@22_Raptor_22 @RedsDaily4 You have to call Spectrum and pay them another $10 a month. I know we were told different, but you gotta pay to watch the Reds in Cincinnati

@RedsDaily4 How are you able to watch the game? I can't find it on spectrum or my antenna.

Jim Day and LeCure wearing Reds gear is nice to see as opposed to Bally or FanDuel gear.

@shanaka86 With a Chinese flag?

BREAKING: A three-star US Marine general just sent a letter to 35,000 reservists asking if their desert camouflage is packed and their families are prepared. One day later, 3,500 Marines arrived in the Middle East. The letter is dated March 26 2026. It is signed by Lieutenant General Leonard F. Anderson IV, Commander of Marine Forces Reserve and Marine Forces South. It asks: “Is your desert MARPAT readily available, is your gear packed and ready to pick up and move, or is it stored away in a corner of your home? Are your family’s affairs in order?” Then the sentence that stops everything: “This is not a theoretical exercise. Our forces are currently engaged in operations connected to Iran and are positioned to preserve stability in the Western Hemisphere. Our enemies get a vote, and a mass mobilization could become reality.” On March 27, the day after this letter was sent, USS Tripoli arrived in CENTCOM’s area of responsibility carrying 3,500 sailors and Marines with F-35B fighters, attack helicopters, and amphibious assault assets per CENTCOM’s official announcement and CBS News. USS Boxer with the 11th MEU and another 2,200 Marines departed San Diego mid-March on an accelerated schedule and will arrive mid-April, after Easter Sunday on April 5. The Wall Street Journal reports the Pentagon is considering sending up to 10,000 additional ground troops to the Middle East. 1,500 from the 82nd Airborne Division have already deployed per Fox News. Task and Purpose reports that more than 200 US troops have been wounded and 13 service members killed since the war began on February 28. USS Gerald R. Ford, deployed for 277 days, has pulled into Croatia for repairs after a fire, breaking the post-Vietnam carrier deployment record. Secretary of State Rubio said Friday the US can meet its objectives “without any ground troops” per CBS News. Then he added: “the president has to be prepared for multiple contingencies” and American forces are available “to give the president maximum optionality.” Read the letter again through the lens of what happened after it was sent. A general asks 35,000 reservists about their desert gear and their families. The next day 3,500 Marines arrive in theatre. The Pentagon weighs 10,000 more. The April 6 deadline is eight days away. And the handwritten note at the bottom of the official correspondence reads: “Fight’s on!” Here is what the letter reveals that the deployment numbers do not. Desert MARPAT is the Marine camouflage pattern designed for arid environments. Not jungle. Not woodland. Not urban. Desert. The general is not asking about readiness for the Western Hemisphere. He is asking about readiness for the Middle East. The camouflage tells you the theatre. The family preparation tells you the timeline. The “mass mobilization could become reality” tells you the scale. This war has consumed 11,000 targets struck per CENTCOM’s latest update. Over 150 Iranian vessels destroyed. 943 Patriot interceptors fired in four days. One AWACS damaged on the ground. Swiss F-35 funds raided. Qatar’s helium cut by 14 percent. Japan burning through 80 million barrels of reserves. Thirty nationalities on a single casualty list. And now a three-star general is telling reservists to check their desert uniforms and prepare their families. April 6 is eight days away. The Boxer arrives after Easter. The letter was sent before either date. The countdown has already started. Full analysis: open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

@quickne45673336 @CinBengalsTalk @JamesRapien They rode the defense to the Super Bowl with 5 picks in 3 games. Flacco produce the same thing Burrow did last year.

@CinBengalsTalk @JamesRapien I think Joe dragged them to the SB and a repeat is nearly impossible with this FO...

The Bengals did not do a strong enough job of picking up LBs/EDGE ahead of the draft, making it harder to "plug and play" across the board. #WhoDey "THAT's the problem with free agency." - @JamesRapien

@mattzthatsme @BengalsTalkSI @JamesRapien I was just thinking that.

@BengalsTalkSI @JamesRapien If Bain and Downs are there at 10 I’m taking a very serious look at trading whatever it takes to get the 11th pick to draft both!

This would be BOLD....😅 si.com/nfl/bengals/on…

@JamesRapien So by this logic if Mendoza is available you take him

No because you could easily argue that Bain and/or Downs are better prospects. You taking Faulk over Love? Banks before his injury? Woods? Love clears all of them. And it isn’t close.

@ModernFootball0 @NFL_DovKleiman Browns take that offer in a second. 3 1st round picks for. A 30 year old

@NFL_DovKleiman The Browns say no. There's a reason they are petitioning to the league to allow teams to trade 5 years worth of first round picks. If Parsons and Crosby can to for two firsts, Cleveland will blow the market away with a Garrett haul

Who says no to this trade? 🤔

@NFL_DovKleiman The cowboys

@prettycive @ROCKYBOIMAN50 zero reason for this behavior it is the fault of these individuals and their parents, period. You excuse makers, since the mid 60's have created this, you are part of the problem. The perpetrators & their parents should be locked up. small % of people creating this entire mess

@ROCKYBOIMAN50 Theres no evidence that punitive methods work. Evidence proves the opposite. The proven methods involve investing in community programs, education, mutual aid, etc. your side will never believe that bc you love the idea of throwing people behind bars bc it makes you feel superior

Sadly, it’s hard to get upset anymore about the violence in downtown Cincinnati. Deep down, we all know the solution but we have to PRETEND like we don’t: More arrests, stiffer penalties on law breakers, longer sentences..a tougher, no nonsense approach from the top, down…

@MosijowskyChase @camhardy513 When a segment of society disregards law enforcement & the rights of others, this is what you get. It's a black eye, nationally, for the city. We met a group from Minn in Seista Key, told them we live in Cincinnati. They said you live in that shit hole.

@bmaisch18 @camhardy513 I hope you’ll come down for another reds game and patronize them. Plenty of games this season!

Feel like I’m taking crazy pills. Downtown was certainly a little rowdy but it was Opening Day! Police handled it, there were no shootings, energy downtown was wonderful. I live in a city, not a sterilized shopping mall. Looking for a story that doesn’t exist!

@camhardy513 @MosijowskyChase Those businesses lost 2 hours of money they need to survive.

@MosijowskyChase They actually think Cincinnati is Mayberry!!! LOL

@drewwash @MosijowskyChase Correct. This guy doesn't have a clue. Afib has erased 8 years of Cranley success. If these businesses leave, you really have a shit hole down there

@MosijowskyChase They literally closed The Banks for the night. An important night. Your money doesn't make up for a thousands of people's money. You see The Banks most nights. Pretty empty. They need big nights to make it worth the slow ones.

@JamesRapien Davey, the should be, hall of famer.

This was a cool moment between Reds legend Davey Concepcion and Terry Francona before yesterday’s Opening Day game

@kramertime1227 @iam_johnw He had him boxed out, he can't shove him under the basket. Obvious fool

That’s not a foul… no extension of the arm. Just a forearm in the back and 245lbs man walking the opposing 200lbs player under the basket with brute force. That’s called big boy basketball. Is the Purdue player not supposed to use his bigger body to displace a smaller defender? How about the Texas defender getting stronger legs to hold his ground better?

Hook and hold and an over the back on TKR game winner not called lmaoo refs gifted Purdue the win

@Nati_Sports I hope all of these veterans are watching the rookie hit. Different swing depending on count, situation.

Sal Stewart. 3 for 4 in his Reds opening day debut When you have one, you have one He’ll run away with NL ROY if he’s healthy.

@BearcatJournal @ChadBrendel I guess coaching 27 points a game isn't coaching enough

We as UC fans understand cope about as much as anyone. We’ve seen more coaching changes over the last decade than probably anyone. It’s ok to be frustrated when your coach leaves, we’re all emotionally invested in the programs we love. But when you say down right false things don’t be surprised when you’re called on it.

@MikeBenzCyber Is this real

Sometimes I like to play a game called “Is This The New Resident Evil Video Game Or Is This The State Of California?”

@JamesRapien Stop

CHOOSE LOVE!

@JoeGoodberry @bozobaity Fairchild and All might be. If All is healthy that could be huge

@bozobaity Haha right. Some solid singles in that group, but Housh and Justin Smith are home runs.

Players the Bengals drafted that didn't do enough pre-draft tests to qualify for an RAS since 2000. 2025 - Dylan Fairchild 2024 - Erick All 2021 - Jackson Carman 2020 - Akeem Davis-Gaither, Markus Bailey, Khaled Kareem 2019 - Rodney Anderson 2018 - Billy Price 2017 - JJ Dielman 2015 - Cedric Ogbuehi 2009 - Chase Coffman 2006 - Ethan Kilmer 2005 - Jonathan Fanene 2003 - Kelley Washington, Elton Patterson 2003 - Justin Smith ✅ 2002 - Matt Schobel 2001 - Riall Johnson, TJ Houshmanzadeh ✅ 2000 - Peter Warrick, Mark Roman, Ron Dugans

@RedsDaily4 It makes sense. I don't think they need another starter until the second rotation.

Do you like this move? If not, who would you have called up?

Was not expecting this move, but I get it. si.com/mlb/reds/onsi/…
