Re: Red's Fans Check in
He also played in the era before performance enhancing drugs and year-round trainning, those take a larger toll on these pitchers bodies as they train. Ryan also had the ability to do something other than throw the ball 100 mph to get guys out. There will never be another like the Ryan Express, these guys aren't built like they used to be. They are so coddled and watched, scientific break downs, bigger faster stronger emphasis. Its just a different age of baseball, with more injuries and less seasons.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
I'm assuming the Widowmaker is Dusty? And the thought that Dusty kills pitchers' arms is a bit overblown.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
One of the articles I read recently with predictions for the season said "First Manager to be Fired?" One of the guys said, Dusty. Found that humorous.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
Not on ESPN for Opening Day? I thought it was a sellout?
At least Dusty has Stubbs in the 7 spot to minimize his AB's and subsequently his K's.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
I don't think you'll find many Cubs fans who agree with you on that. Right or no, I believe he played no small part in ruining Mark Prior. Shame, that guy could flat out deal. And no, I'm not a Cubbies fan.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
Go Reds!! Was excited to see it on ESPN2 so I could watch it up here. Really missed watching them last year. Went from watching a TON of games to maybe 5. Might have to spring for the MLB package this year.

I picked my two boys up early from school to prepare for the game today. Not as exciting as last year's opening day, but it was a good one. Back to back wins on Opening Day! Cueto was excellent, as was Chapman and Marshall. Every starter got on base today.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
ESPN home games are blacked out no matter what. (Sunday night might be the one exception.) Sell-outs don't matter in baseball like football. Also, if Fox Sports Cinci carries the game all other stations carrying it will be blacked out as well.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
Just got stuck watching it on FSN Ohio. I just don't like hearing the homers talk about how Drew Stubbs is a future Gold Glover and Jay Bruce is going to have 50/100 this season and will be the MVP some day.

Re: Red's Fans Check in
I distinctly remember hearing grumblings about his overuse of Livan Hernandez and Rob Nen while he was in San Francisco, but ultimately I don't know enough to make an informed opinion. I do however know just enough to fire off a sarcastic one-liner.
