For The Sake of Argument...

and that fanshot really should really just be a comment.

I don’t like someone writing a fanpost basically saying that someone who goes through the trouble of helping remind us of our favorite team’s legacy every morning isn’t worthwhile.

On top of that, most fanpost’s display about the equal amount of intelligence, thought, and syntax of someone calling the Reds Post-game and/or bananaphone.

Lastly, the last fanpost to display is from 6 days ago. The official RR articles are usually cycled out in 1-2 days from the home-screen and any article, fanpost, or fanshot discussion is usually dead within 48 hours.

I apologize if this is a little rude, but I really get sick of seeing people complain with content which the site contributors put together for free, just because they like the Reds and like sharing their ideas and knowledge in this public forum.

I didn’t take offense to the suggestion. This just started out as one of those one time posts and I have continued to do them. Fact is, I really enjoy looking them up and trying to find some of the more different, unusual, or historical games from Reds history. So with that being said I will continue to do them in the same manner unless Slyde, or the Moderators, ask me to switch it up.

Sometimes I get up as early as 3am to see if the new ‘This Day’ has been posted.

Caleb-
Would it be easier on you to just do a ‘this week in Reds baseball’ on a Sunday or Monday, then we can rec it up to stay around for the week???

Just a big fan of consolidation here, kinda like the Reds on this date in 1974. I mean they could have spread the runs out, but they felt like sticking five together would be nice.

Anyone else have a thought or idea??

or here. My main reason being to keep fanposts up longer for those who don’t check in daily. Yeah the discussion may end on a fanpost after a few days, but some only get a chance to read-up and chime in once or twice a week.

Either way I appreciate Caleb’s hard work and don’t want it to stop.

I am thinking he should take the long man role out of the pen. As great as he has been, I no longer have the same confidence when he starts. The long role will rest his arm but still provide his services when necessary. AAA seems pretty useless for someone who has proven they can handle MLB batters.

He just falls apart recently, you don`t want to give his confidence a shot by sending him down. But I think Walt uses our Triple A system a lot better than other GM`s in the past. It gives more of a “if you go down and work hard to perfect your game, you`ll be back”

it’s the first thing I look at when tuning into RR.

I think M. Leake would be great in the long reliever roll for the rest of the season. It’s after the batting order sees him more than once that he’s getting into trouble.
