Reds Poised to Upset Marlins' Ace in Shocking Showdown
When I was younger, probably like eight or nine years old, and I was first really getting into following sports, I didn’t understand the concept of series in baseball. You’re telling me they play three or four games in a row? Why doesn’t the NBA or NHL or even NFL do that? As I got older, it became more evident, but I love the series concept, even here as we get Game 3 of the matchup between the Reds and the Marlins.
The Reds, as a franchise, are a team that has one extremely marketable superstar, and I’m not sure what else going for them outside of Hunter Greene. I may be a little short sighted on this, but I just don’t see what the team is trying to build. You have some young talent, but it doesn’t seem like they are embracing that enough and truly looking for anything of substance here to build the team. Again, perhaps I’m being too harsh on Cincinnati, but I don’t like seeing talent wasted and I’m more worried that if they don’t start making some progress, they will lose out on their best players long term. I’m sounding the alarm too much here, especially for a random April series. One person they did add to the team starts today, Brady Singer. Singer has been good since coming over from the Royals, he is 3-0 with a 3.38 ERA and a 1.22 WHIP. He hasn’t gone overly deep in three of the four games, at five innings or less. He has also allowed three earned runs in each of the past three outings. There are only two Marlins hitters who have ever faced Singer, and they are a combined 1-for-6.
