MLB Network is visiting 30 teams in 30 days as part of the network’s lead up to Opening Day. Yesterday they visited the Cincinnati Reds in Goodyear, Arizona. While John Smoltz made the bold prediction that the Reds will be a .500 team this season, former major leaguer and current MLB Network analyst Eric Byrnes predicted the Reds will make the playoffs.
Okay, settle down Reds Country. No, it’s alright, go ahead and get as excited as Eric Byrnes. Byrnes is known for his crazy mohawk and outlandish opinions, but he may not be too far off on this one.
