plantmanky Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 2018 Season is here, will there be improvement, showing the plan is working? Will the young pitching finally prove their stuff? Can several of the bats repeat 2017 output? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AverageJoesGym Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I saw this projected as the Opening Day lineup: 1. Hamilton CF 2. Suarez 3B 3. Votto 1B 4. Gennett 2B 5. Duvall RF 6. Schebler LF 7. Peraza SS 8. Barnhart C 9. Bailey P I can't believe they're going to hit Hamilton leadoff again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AverageJoesGym Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Who else do you put there. If Duvall or Schebler can play CF I'd put Winker there. If not I'd lead Gennett off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CincySportsFan Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Not a good sign for the Reds, when @plantmanky is our Opening Day/Series thread starter. :lol2: (Just kidding man) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJAlltheWay24 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Back and ready for my 6th season in GABP. Didn't train hard enough in the offseason this go around. A little disappointed in myself, but hopefully to get back into playing shape soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What prompted the post was an email at work about our company seats and no one had claimed them for Opening day yet. Then I notice no thread about the first series.

GrantNKY Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Who else do you put there. Literally anyone. I'd honestly like to see the Reds adopt the old Tony Larussa strategy and bat the pitcher 8th and Hamilton 9th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKMustangFan Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 The fact this team didn't trade at least one of the Hamilton, Duvall, Schebler trio is mind-boggling to me. Even more mind-boggling is that they aren't going to put Winker on the field on an every day basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKMustangFan Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Scherzer vs. Bailey Strasburg vs. Castillo Gonzalez vs. Mahle Talk about a tough task right out of the gate for the bats...Geez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is still a little early to tell on Winker at the MLB level, but it looks like hes got upside, where hamilton can run and catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Issue there is it doesnt change anything, Hamilton still can only run and catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a huge part of the future of this organization and you have to know what you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
