SWEEEEEEP!

The recent annals of Red Reporter archives are devoid of most things Matt McLain.

Cincinnati’s resident keystoner simply hasn’t done much, if anything, worth writing about for the longest of times, first due to an oblique injury that ended his 2023 debut season early and latest due to simple underperformance. Woeful, considerate underperformance.

The slugger starred on Saturday in a pair of Reds victories.

Nick Krall has gone on record more than once about putting together a lineup of ‘line drive’ hitters since the Cincinnati Reds began their most recent rebuild.

The Enquirer notes his discussion of how line drive hitters could, in theory, be home run hitters in Great American Ball Park due to the park’s tiny dimensions, and that came back in the spring of 2022.

After the Reds fired...

Go, Reds!

The Cincinnati Reds take on the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday night, though they’ll do so a) with Elly De La Cruz getting a day off and b) on Apple TV, so it’s incredible tough to view.

Either way, I hope like heck they win it. Go Reds.

The slugging 1B is back on the active roster!

Earlier this week we posited the question - should the Cincinnati Reds activate Christian Encarnacion-Strand when he’s healthy and done rehabbing, or should they option him to AAA to continue to shake off the rust he’d shown across the last two frustrating big league campaigns?

You responded, and did so emphatically. With 64% of the vote, y’all wanted the Reds to activate CES and play him early and...
