This seems like a safe opportunity for Cole Sands to shine.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Alright Cole, let’s see what you got!

[bighat]

Just randomly checking scores around the league, and see that the Reds are down 5-0 already in the 1st inning of their ballgame. Colorado is still batting and the starting pitcher has been lifted already.

Reds are 3-18 this year. April can be cruel, season's over already in Cincy.

Ooof… a little flashback heartburn flaring up there

Considering the talent they jettisoned this offseason, that shouldn't be much of a surprise.  

They may get better as the season progresses, but it probably shouldn't be a shock to see them struggle early.

What, Winder out for the 6th? Rocco grinding another starter to pulp. ?

The cruelest, according to some.

[wabene]

Oh my gosh, Josh!

[PDX Twin]

Coal Sands sounds like a Superfund site.

[bighat]

Welcome to The Show, Cole.

[snotboogie]

Settle down Rook.

[wsnydes]

So much for the shutout.

The owners deserve even worse. I feel for their few remaining fans. 

[wsnydes]

I liked this game better when it wasn't as interesting.

Your TIVO delay is a solid 2 innings behind

[glunn]

Sands might benefit from a mound visit if he keeps this up.

[wabene]

I like how fast these young starters work. I remember rooting and rooting for Gibby to put it all together. And rooting. And rooting....

He'd benefit more from getting someone out!

Let him finish it out.

Gibby spanked the Mets around last night.

[glunn]

Glad to see Sands get out of that. Now we need insurance run(s).

[wsnydes]

Hopefully he's got his heart rate under 3000bpm now.

[snotboogie]

All he has to do is get past 6, 7 and 8 next inning.

Yup ... he's gotta learn to get himself out of it ... was the perfect opportunity to get him into the game, and I'm glad they let him just do it

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Gutting it out! Good job young man
