The Elly De La Cruz era in Cincinnati has begun

I don’t like the sound of this at all:

"Yesterday, Matt McLain had successful surgery to address cartilage damage and repair his labrum in his left shoulder," Reds president of baseball operations Nick Krall said. "An exact timeline is still TBD as it has a wide range of possibilities. We hope to have Matt back this season."

Given how quickly they traded for Espinal I think they knew it wasn’t going to be a test it for 2 weeks kind of injury.
 
I realize it’s still pretty early in the season and there will probably be a certain amount of regression to the mean. But Nick Martini is currently on pace to post 324 HR and 810 RBI this year.

Does it count as a stolen base when you jog home after a mishandled throw down to third?

He had another steal for the 3rd steal in the game it wasn't shown in the video. That play was a steal of third and an error allowing him to go home.

That’s why I didn’t keep the book. Iffy skills.

I coached little league for several years and always tried to farm out to someone else to do the books but most people had no clue how to do it so I ended up having to do it myself which was annoying while you are also trying to coach the game. You aren't alone in not having the skills for it.

Well, I did keep the book sometimes, but I might have been a little generous sometimes when in doubt.

I’ve been disappointed too many times by young guys with so much talent. Not because what they do on the field either. I’m cautiously optimistic but assume he’s a good dude. I might instill a mandatory 6 year clock before raving about a player so as to not end up with pie in my face, but I’m rooting for just awesome individual baseball that builds teams.

As a Reds fan I have to enjoy watching Elly now because Scott Boras has already made it clear that he’s not going to sign long-term with Cincy.

At some point Boras should deactivate all but one line and send his clients to anyone he’s trained or something. Dude must always be on the phone
