So on a unrelated note.
Can Baylor play with UK tonight?

Quite honestly, I don't know. This is one of those potentially pivotal games for UK. They showed a nice step in the right direction against Providence, but tonight we will see if they are going to continue moving forward or do a one step forward, two steps back kind of thing. And if that happens, it wouldn't surprise me since UK is so young and that can easily happen.

With that said, if UK plays defense the way they have been and even better, then Baylor will have no shot. If UK doesn't get back on transition and doesn't defend the 3, then Baylor will make it close or win.

I'm hoping for a good game. And by good game, I mean a 20 point beatdown.

Should be interesting to see how many fans actually show up in that weather. Would be comical if the ball echoed throughout the stadium on every dribble. Cal better be careful what he says because I'm sure anyone watching will be able to hear him.

And 2 steps back wins out SMH

I like the dark shadowing actually. It goes hand in hand w/ the Queen city/steamboats nostalgia...The font does anyway

So I went to Reds fest today and Brandon Phillips was there after all.

If Chapman doesn't want to start, then trade him. Sure he strike outs a ton of guys, but he's not a dominant closer, says his league average save conversion percentage.

With Latos, Cueto, Bailey, Leake, and Cingrini do they really need Chapman to start?
Why not use him in the bullpen where they need him?

re: 2014 Cincinnati Reds Thread

The Bailey to New York for Gardner and a prospect idea that I have heard is intriguing. Also wouldn't mind them taking a look at Nelson Cruz depending on what the market looks like on him.

Because last year showed that 2012 was a fluke. You are not going to get through the season using only five starters. Cueto spent considerable time on the DL. Latos was banged up at the end of the season. As was Cingrani. Arroyo is now gone. I don't see the Reds being able to keep Latos and Bailey beyond this season. So having another rotation arm doesn't seem that bad of an idea.

And when the Reds originally signed Chapman, he was going to be a starter. They only put him in the bullpen because of injuries. But now that Bryan Price (who was the biggest proponent of putting Chapman in the rotation) has backed down and said Chapman will stay in the bullpen, I say use Chapman as trade bait to get some outfield help.

re: 2014 Cincinnati Reds Thread

They will are going to sign Latos long term, it all but done from what i am hearing.
Bailey will be gone but if they dont trade him soon how about with live in this year???
Moving Chapman into a roll in which he doesnt like and into a role in which we currently have no need is just plain stupid.
