While it was ugly (and I mean UGLY), Cincinnati managed to pull out a win against Cleveland and will begin the season 1-0. Considering this was a divisional game and Cincinnati’s historical slow starts, a lucky win is better than a well-played loss.
With 31 games remaining and just ten series to go, there is absolutely zero time for this Reds team to waste.
As the trade deadline came to a close, many fans were in an uproar as big names didn’t join this Reds team. No Taylor Ward, No Eugenio Suarez…Many Reds fans were in shambles and ready to protest again. However, Nick Krall had other plans in mind.
While it might just be August 4th, the Cincinnati Reds are truly running out of time to figure it out. Series after series, they are failing to cash in on bases loaded or runners on with no outs.
