Reds vs. Cardinals (4/1-4/4)

[CincySportsFan]

Opening Day!  Let's Go!!!!

Probable Starters:

(Thu) Luis Castillo vs. Jack Flaherty 

(Sat) Tyler Mahle vs. Adam Wainwright

(Sun) Jeff Hoffman vs. Carlos Martinez

Sonny Gray and Michael Lorenzen start the season on the DL.  Hope we can avoid another 1-8 type of start while they're gone.

Afraid it is going to be another long year.  Starting rotation is weak, bullpen questions and lineup does not make enough contact to consistently win.

I know it was just spring training, but 7-19???  Geez.

The under on 82.5 wins looked pretty safe.

I put absolutely zero into any team's won-loss record after the changes they made this year.  Seven inning games is one thing, but a team on defense being allowed to stop an inning after 25 pitches?!?!?  Absurd.

My official guess is 80.  Which, the way the NL Central is shaping up to be, might actually keep them in the running until the final two weeks of the year.

Probably going to make me sound like a bitter dude but I have a small amount of joy that it is snowing and in the 30's for Opening Day, on the second year that I'm not allowed to work it.

Cardinals are up 6-0 after the top of the 1st on Opening Day. 9 batters got on base.

Electrifying start.

At least the Reds got ONE. Winkler scores from third on a wild pitch. 6-1 Cardinals in the bottom of the 1st.

Headed to the 2nd inning. 6-1 St. Louis.
