That dreadful feeling that many Cincinnati Reds fans had on Opening Day was quickly erased over the weekend as the Reds returned the favor on both Saturday and Sunday to take the series two games to one over St. Louis. Things really got rolling when Nick Castellanos scored on a wild pitch in Saturday’s game and got up screaming LET’S GO while standing over the Cardinals pitcher. The benches emptied and some tempers flared up, but Cincinnati never looked back from that point forward.
Three games into the season doesn’t tell us much. There’s a reason that baseball seasons are 162 games long – it takes a whole lot of baseball games to truly separate the good teams from the bad ones.
