When the reds came out of the all-star break, all we heard was, they’re ready for a run…….especially after beating juggernauts colorado and miami in back to back series at home. The first series after the break, the worst three days of the season….a sweep against washington……after wins in atlanta, the reds roll into tampa bay, score four runs in three games, lose two of three against the rays, including yesterday’s killer loss. This offense is so bad. The defense stinks and their baserunning blunders occur virtually every night. Did Hunter Greene really have to leave the game at 100 pitches? Is that a hard rule? Lucas Sims? With the bases loaded? Are you kidding? Tonight the cubbies come to town for the first of a three-game series. That’s a series for last place. Bengals defensive end Sam hubbard left yesterday’s practice on a golf cart after suffering a knee injury. By alll accounts it doesn’t appear to be serious….thankfully, and he should be back soon. Jamar Chase still not practicving……any thoughts on that? We have em…. In a matter of moments, Charlie Goldsmith from cincinnati.com will join us to talk reds and bengals.
