April Woes

Well, I told everyone I was done with the Reds..I lied.

I followed every game, every stat line, and all the heartache and pain is still there. Remember 2018 when we thought we would never be here again? Hold on to your undies…

We saw Reiver Sanmartin have arguably the worst month a pitcher has ever seen, Votto have his worst month in his professional career, and injuries galore. It’s all been hard to watch. I tried really hard to find a bright spot through all of this, but even Hunter Greene is losing velocity. Hell, he had to skip a start to get back up to his “lower end” of his fastball. It’s all brutal. The worst part of all of this…..I’m still here talking about it.

Loving baseball has been really difficult for me this month. This is the least amount of baseball I’ve watched since I controlled the remote, well, as Mary has allowed. I try to talk about it, but I don’t want to be negative. I want to have something good to say. We’re just not there yet.

So, Reds fans, where do we go from here? I can’t be the fan that talks of glory days and remember when’s. Not my style. Is this a scenario where it’s best to say nothing at all? Maybe the May flowers are coming? My heart tells me to continue to be disappointed, but we’ll see
