Cal Ripken played in 2,632 games in a row ,........no oblique strain, arm fatigue, tweaked "Hammy"., back soreness , forearm tiredness, I am astonished at the Injury report of the Reds

on a continuing basis ,.what's the deal ? How many days on the ;"IL" did the 1970, 1972, 1975, 1976, "Big Red Machine " spend on the "IL" ? Help me to understand the difference?

Oh for the days of Adam Dunn which fans ran out of town . Don't they wish for an outfielder

performance like this "Dunn".

As opposed to ponying up Millions on "The Mike Moustakas Blimp" experience, and the Candelario

bust, I have often thought what if the Reds had signed Middleton's Kyle Schwarber , who averages 37 or so Home runs & 117 RBI's? The Reds playing in Great American Smallpark,

still have a "powerless" outfield unlike anything I have remembered since 1955 . They have no

"Big Stick" outfielders, Fraley, Friedl, Dunn, Benson, Hurtubuise , Lux, are not he answer.
