It’s only one week into the season and so far, pretty good for the red legs…..4 wins in 6 games.
While not earth-shattering, consider the fact that the team has not had a wining record over the first month of the season since 2013…… two years ago, they were 3-22.
So how about we play, the good , the bad and the ugly.
The good….. Frankie Montas. Through two starts he’s been everything you’d ever want…. Throwing strikes, being pitch efficient and getting outs. He’s pitched like a number one.
The bad: The offensive starts for the entire team not named martini, steer or fraley.
CES, Benson, Elly, candelario, stephenson.
That’s gotta change soon.
THE UGLY: The defense. The reds starting pitching was awful last year. The bullpen was overused and ran out of steam.
The reason they didn’t make the playoffs was because of bad defense…number one factor.
The defense stinks so far this year too.
Granted, they are missing mcclain and friedl, but this is not a good defensive team.
The team is back at it tonight as the new york mets come to town to open a three0-games series. The mets lost their first five games before finally winning yesterday, 2-1 over detroit.
