Some musings on #Reds fandom in my latest blog: paintitredblog.com/2025/09/02/f...

Already looking ahead to 2026 for the #Reds. I’m guessing the position player plan is: C: Stevo/Trevino 1B: Sal 2B: McLain SS: Elly 3B: Hayes OF: combo of Friedl, Marte, Hector, maybe Benson (out of options) Lux, Steer stay but shouldn’t def be starters. Need a couple power bats for OF/DH.

Last night’s #Reds loss perfectly captured what has made this team — and how they were built — so frustrating this season. I blogged about it: paintitredblog.com/2025/08/09/i...

Yesterday I wrote about #Reds POBO Nick Krall being on the hot seat. He subsequently made two solid trades for big league talent. But with hours until the trade deadline, I hope there’s more to come (read: a bat!) paintitredblog.com/2025/07/30/t...

Chilly temps ahead for the southeastern US, @eldavisjr.bsky.social reports for @therealusnews.bsky.social www.usnews.com/news/nationa...

School shootings have killed 18 people and injured 59 this year, according to @edweek.bsky.social's tracker. Last week's shooting in WI brought this year's total to 39 shootings -- more than one per week of the school year. That's about the same number as last year, but still more than pre-COVID.

I read some tea leaves for the #Reds blog last night. (I’m sick so that’s my excuse if the post is bad!)

As the former president gets closer to a White House reunion armed with a GOP trifecta and arguable mandate, officials from states like California and Minnesota are preparing to fight back, writes @eldavisjr.bsky.social www.usnews.com/news/best-st...

#SCOTUS arguments begin today in the case of Tennessee’s gender-affirming care ban for minors. For @therealusnews.bsky.social I wrote about the case and what’s at stake.

Wrote way too many words about the Reds’ offseason thus far and some paths for adding a bat to the lineup: paintitredblog.com/2024/12/02/a...

Wow, the India-Singer trade actually happened! #Reds

Very interesting. Believe it or not I was thinking about this trade a few days ago as something that would make sense for both teams given the Reds’ past interest in Singer and the Royals looking for a leadoff guy. Not the best Stuff+ numbers but pretty dependable and relatively cheap for 2 years.

Early morning airport thoughts: If the #Reds spend on a free agent this offseason, it shouldn’t be one of the big bats. It should be Shane Bieber. It’d have to be a short deal after TJ, but if we can make due in the rotation w/ rehab, having him and Hunter to start a playoff series would be nails.

Did any other Reds fans find it strange that Passan didn’t mention Martinez once in his offseason preview? I know he’s not a top tier free agent but multiple outlets have ranked him relatively high among pitchers. Maybe it’s just because Jeff is sure NM is taking the QO?

Wondering if India to the Yankees for Clarke Schmidt is palatable to NYY. They pursued India at the deadline and would fill their 2B hole and leadoff spot. Schmidt would really help our staff. #Reds
