Off the Bench Presented by UDF Remember when the reds won 12 straight last season……? Lets travel back to that moment, get away from the current reds, and fondly recall that winning streak that brought baseball back alive in cincinnati. No matter what the situation was, you felt like the reds would win….. Facing a tough pitcher, theyd score enough to win. Down three in the ninth….they’d walk off to gapper dancing on the field. It’;s a great feeling right? Well the same is true in baseball when the wheels are falling off. No matter what the situation, you konw as a fan they’re going to blow it. Alexis diaz has by and large been great for this team oliver the last two years…..in fact, hes been among the very best closers in the national league. But in september last season, he ran out of gas. He was lit up in spring training and we wondered on this show i\f he was gonna be okay. He’s pitched a total of 14 innings this season and allowed 27 baserunners….. 12 hits and 12 walks and three hit batters. All of those happened in the arizona ninth inning last night. Hit batter Out Walk Walk 2-run game winning hit by? Kevin Newman…..remember him? 6-5 the final….A Heartbreaker for sure. After all, the reds battled all night against left jordan montgomery. Scored twice against the arizona bullpen to take the lead in the eighth. The reds stand at 17-24, 7 games behind milwaukee, and tied for dead last in the nl central with the cardinals….and the cardinals stink. Tonight it’s hunter greene against righty slade cecconi. First pitch 9:40 P eastern. The hits just keep on comin….literally and figuratively . After missing the first month and a half with an injury…..it’s back ti the IL for centerfielder TJ Friedl . He was hit by a pitch on the hand over the weekend in san francisco. That hand has a fracture in it……out 4-6 weeks. Business side of baseball….. Mlb signed a deal with Roku to nationally stream MLB games on Sundays starting next season. Football news, The full schedule will be released tomorrow but they give you nuggets leading up to big day. Yesterday we learned the nfl’s season opener has the chiefs hosting the ravens. Guess who’s week 2? The bengals at kansas city! Thats a sunday 4:25 start at arrowhead. Will the bengals be on primetime this season? You know they will….. Who would you want to see them play if you could pick one home game and one road game? We will discuss that topic later. The jets will start the season week 1 on a monday night at san francisco. It will mark the return of aaron rodgers…not only to the jets but he grew up in the bay area.
