All that pent up optimism that you had when the Cincinnati Reds entered spring training healthy, refreshed, and flexed took a major hit over the last few weeks. It sure as hell did for me, at least, with the cascade of crap news regarding Alex Wood, Nick Senzel, Nick Senzel’s ankle, Scooter Gennett, and Hunter Greene coupled with the awful 1-8 start to the season making me wonder if there was something bigger at work with these Reds.
If ever there was a juice cleanse of a game, though, tonight’s outing against the Miami Marlins may well have been it.
