Official Cincinnati Reds collectors and discussion thread

[muskiesfan]

Maybe I missed it, but I did a search and couldn't find such a thread. Skywalker has the Bruce thread, but I thought a Reds thread was needed and much overdue.

The Reds take on the Mets shortly, hopefully they complete the 2 game sweep.

To get things started from a collectors standpoint, here are a couple of my favorite Reds PC cards.

This card was a gift from a very generous board member, jcmint. Thanks again Joe!

2005 SP Legendary Cuts Ted Kluszewski auto 30/50

Next is my favorite All-Time Reds player

2008 Donruss Sports Legends Legends of the Game Combos Pete Rose/Joe Jackson 78/100

Hopefully other Reds fans and collectors will come in here, share their collections, and discuss the Reds.

First pitch is coming up. Hopefully Latos pitches a gem today.

Votto with his 6th homerun today - Looks like he is finally getting into his normal groove. He was uncharacteristicly striking out a ton early in the season. Looks like Latos has really got it going today too. Hopefully they can score a couple more runs for him though. What do you Reds fans think about Todd Frazier? I think he has a bright future. Nothing agianst Scott Rolen, but I think it is Fraziers time now.

 

[muskiesfan]

I'm a huge Frazier fan. Have been since he was drafted. I would have no problem with Frazier taking over 3B. I doubt it will happen though. When Rolen comes back, he'll take back over.

I get so tired of hearing about how the team needs leadership. There is a bunch of young talent. Let them play and let young leaders rise up and take over. Constantly bringing in older players because their "veteran presence" is needed is garbage. BP, Votto, Bruce, Stubbs, or whoever could and should step up to be the leader for years to come. No need to keep bringing in guys like Rolen, Valdez, and Harris.

I think Rolen is done and he knows it.

Is there a more underrated reliever than Logan Ondrusek? He's been a stud but overshadowed by Chapman.

Well, not a good day to post this I guess.

 

[peterose4hof]

Yeah, no kidding. Rough day for the whole bullpen.

I'm glad us Reds fans finally have our own thread....it's about time! I will try to post some pics in the coming days.

Go Reds!!!

[muskiesfan]

Wow. I had a few errands to run, so I left and the whole thing unravels. Guess I'm not going to do that again. :lol:

 

[tramers]

[dukedynasty2009]

Great idea Joe and no not a good late innings game today wow!! Nut oh well I think Latos needs to wake up. He came over n the trade as a 1 or 2 kind of guy and that's not the case so far!! Anyway love the Ted K. Cut I need one of those!

Ok so I have a few favorites!

Great stuff, Mike! Love all 3 of those! I need to add some more pics today.

Reds kick off a 3 game series against the Yankees today. A sweep would be fantastic.

Noah- Unfortunately, it wasn't me.

Mike- Great stuff again. I'll start posting some of my RedsFest stuff as well. Feel free to post any of your Adam Reds stuff. I will. Especially when your Adam stuff becomes my Adam stuff. :lol:

Here's one of my projects from the last RedsFest or 2. I've been Reds pitchers on a baseball

Jim O’Toole

Jack Billingham, Wayne Granger, Jeff Brantley

Ted Power, Mario Soto

Clay Carroll, Bronson Arroyo

Jim Maloney, Tom Browning

I asked Bronson to sign in blue, but he signed in black. Oh well.

This is all one baseball. I call it the pitchers ball.

 

[muskiesfan]

Heading to the top of 6th down 1-0. Hopefully the bats wake up soon.

 

[muskiesfan]

Thank goodness they got out of bases loaded jam without a run scoring.
