This is a portion of the blog dedicated to my favorite MLB team the Reds. I try to be unbiased in every other section of the website, other than this…
This is an exciting year for the Reds, if they pull their shit together. They have the talent, but lately seem to be missing the drive from last year. The 2010 Reds bragged about “1st to 3rd” in the All-Star game and seemed to play with a “swagger” (my new favorite hip-hop sports-themed phrase that I actually use in any possible scenario. “I just cooked a bad ass chicken Florentine, try not to deep throat the swagger).
The pitching has been fantastic, and early on the Reds seemed to be fighting for close games. On Sunday night, I saw something different. Those hungry bunch of kids who would pride themselves on “1st to 3rd” didn’t even sprint to 1st in the 9th inning. If I were to call someone out, and I will Edgar Renteria, I would state the obvious in that offensive production is unacceptable and defensively the SS position has too many errors. To some degree, I unintentionally called it. My friend Marconi lives in Cleveland and upon hearing the news I called and said…I will trade you a case of Labatts and in return the Reds get Orlando Cabrerra. It made sense because he may have accidentally confused Orlando with Estrubal Carberra. He did not accept, and the Tribe were off to the best record in baseball.
It is too late to get him back, but the Reds demonstrate glaring errors in two positions. Left field and short stop due to lack of offensive production. Speculation has explored Miguel Tejadaand/or minor leaguers to fill the SS void. As far as left field, Chris Hiesey (in my opinion) deserves more of a chance.
