Jonathan India returns to Cincinnati Reds lineup

It’s impossibly tough to lose your best player.

It’s impossibly tough to root for a rebuilding team when the future of the franchise isn’t even on the field.

When those two things happen to involve the same person - and that same person is sidelined for weeks on end - finding things for which to root becomes, well, almost impossible.

Jonathan India and his balky hamstring were shut down initially on April 14th, and after an abbreviated attempt at making it back to the bigs was thwarted due to recurrence of the same problem, he was shut down fer serious after play on April 29th - a day in which he picked up 3 hits, to add salt to the wound.
