Yesterday saw the Cincinnati Reds ride a roller coaster of emotions. Not just any roller coaster, either - we’re talking vintage 1987 The Beast at Kings Island, with incredible speeds being reached while you wonder just how sturdy the rusty bolts are holding the entire fire hazard together. King Cobra stuff where your neck gets shaken all to hell whilst the adrenaline in your bloodstream makes your eyes bulge.
A no-hitter watch, a comeback off the game’s most prolific closer, Jonathan India socking the biggest dinger the Reds have hit in years, all before a Bottom of the 9th calamity endemic of exactly how this team was built last winter.
