Matt’s Take – Crowded infield means depth

0

Another Cincinnati native recently joined the team on a minor league deal with a chance to prove himself during spring training. Infielder, Josh Harrison and former UC Bearcat looks to make a splash over the next month and a half to make the roster and he certainly is capable of doing so. In his career, he is a .270 batter, holds a .316 OBP, and is a 2 time All-Star. With these stats, you might be asking why he is on a minor league deal, but in 2023 he had the worst year of his career with a batting average of .204 and he is approaching 37 years old. However, he looks to bounce back this season and add veteran presence that is much needed to this ballclub.

Matt’s Take – Spring training will soon begin

0

The sun has finally popped out over the last few days, and we have officially made it to February. January without Bengals playoff football makes for a long month, but we are finally approaching warmer weather and some baseball action. Pitchers and catchers report on Feb. 13 and the first Spring Training game is on February 24th. I’m not one to want to grab the “Click” remote and fast-forward, but it’d be tempting at this point to fast forward to March 28th and set the temperature to 60 degrees. For now though, we just have to remain patient for a few more weeks before we can finally tune into Goodyear, Arizona and watch this young core compete for their positions in 2024. I recently came across Anthony Rendon’s comments about the MLB season being way too long and I’ve never scrolled past something so fast in my life (Outside of Adams County ads during election time that is, shew). I’m sure it is very long for a player, but as a fan, I love the length of baseball and tuning in 5 nights a week to watch the Reds. While we have made many great changes to the game as of recent in my opinion, the amount of games is something I hope never gets touched.
