Nick Castellanos was told by MLB his suspension was because he incited a 2-minute shoving match that posed the risk of a "super spreader" COVID event. Health and safety. Yet MLB allowed the Texas Rangers to fill its Opening Day stadium with 38000+ people. MLB is an utter mess.

And to add insult to insult, the Reds have only a 16.5% chance at the No. 1 overall pick in 2023 because of the new draft lottery. Even worse: Teams cannot receive lottery picks in three straight seasons, so if Cincinnati doesn't try to win by 2025, the earliest it picks is 7th.

The Castellini family plan of installing Barry Larkin as Reds manager when the team is ready to break through from its rebuild is gonna look strange when David Bell wins manager of the year.

Every time Mike Ford bats, I think of Nick Krall saying the Reds didn’t have at bats for Joey Votto.

Hope this isn't Sonny Gray's last game in a Reds uniform. Have enjoyed watching him pitch. The trade for him and immediate extension was an A+ move by the Reds front office.

The Reds ability to convince pitching and hitting coaches to leave teams that were just deep in the postseason and to make a parallel move to a last place team is both surprising and impressive.
