Cincy has basically been the ultimate "small window" team in the salary cap era. Load up with these elite teams for 2-3 seasons and then mismanage their way into wasting the prime of their players instead of being able to retool. Happened with the Palmer-era, the Dalton-era, and appears history is beginning to repeat again. Meanwhile, they're in a division with two teams that historically have incredibly short nadirs with very long windows.

He's been bad. Constantly going down 0-2 and taking middle middle pitches. I wasn't convinced his power was really there yet and in the modern MLB that becomes a big hindrance. I think he's just overwhelmed himself because of that and is overthinking what he sees. Colton Cowser was awful last year and look at him now. Gunnar Henderson stunk until June. The majors are tough. Have a lot of confidence in the organization's coaching to target exactly what needs to be targeted to get Holliday rolling again. But as my friend said last year "one of these elite prospects has to be a bust" It's impossible for them all to hit.

None of the uniforms match and don't feel like a set. They all look like third-party knockoffs of the old Texans jersey.

No they don't. The system is very easily exploited and I think the league doesn't care that much since you want your stars playing in the playoffs anyway.

The referees not giving the Sixers that timeout, I guess just due to not seeing/hearing Nurse, is a bad look for them. Don't know why they can't just give coaches a button to press when they want the timeout horn to sound.

Aaron Boone just got ejected because of something a fan said. After one batter. And I assure you the umpire will face zero repercussions.

Why wouldn't they just switch to those throwbacks permanently? It's like the Dolphins, they have an all-timer that they barely use.

That would be a big change from their "he was good at a different club a few years back" approach to hiring managers.

That does feel misreported. Unless there's some behind-the-scenes strife with De Zerbi.

"we need to ensure if we drop that none of the supporters blame us"

I now agree with Nottingham Forest about VAR.

You know this is a really good point, and I think feeding into fan paranoia like this is a tad dangerous. It basically dignifies the ideas that the worst people sometimes hold as truth and gives them justification if they choose to react in any manner.

There feels like to have been a bit of a radio silence in the lead-up to the game's release which I instinctively take as a worrisome sign. Think I'll hold off on it for awhile.

I think there should have been all 3 pens given in the Forest match but their complaining about it is, frankly, embarrassing. I know what's on the line but if your future comes down to the decisions of officials it's your fault for not doing more to avoid being in that situation.
