Start with injuries to CES, Friedl, Lodolo, Emilio pagan……that group joining the likes of Matt McClain, ian gibault and the suspended Noelvi Marte. You cannot try to evaluate this reds team based on the number of good, if not sometimes great players, that have missed significant time. It wouldn’t be fair. The losses just keep on comin….. They teased us a little bit with that sweep of the dodgers but we werent fooled here on Dialed In. Not for a minute. They promptly lose two of three to the cardinals….who stink. Qand starting today, it’s a three-game weekend series at wrigley against another team that stinks….the cubs. Criag Counsell’s team just went to milwaukee for the last four days and got lit up three times by the white-hot brew crew. Graham ashcraft faces javier assad in a 2:20P first pitch. Reds care 8 under, 9 games back in the central. The cubbies a game under .500..5 ½ out. College baseball…..that’s right, college baseball. Is it just me or does it seem like NKU and UK are the only local schools we talk about playing in ncaa tournaments?

The wildcats , the overall number 2 seed in the tourney, play at home against western michigan. That game starts at noon. The indiana hoosiers also play in nashville today at 1 in the opening round against southern miss. NBA Playoffs, the finals are set to begin IN A WEEK…more on that in a moment. Last night the dallas mavericks finished off then minnesota timberwolves 4 games to one in the western conference finals. Luka and Kyrie each goes for 36 points in a 124-103 blowout win. That sets up a matchup in the finals with the eastaren conference champion boston celtics. Boston an early favorite in Vegas. Bengals news……voluntary OTA’s continue downtown today. Burrow looks great. Still no Tee Higgins or Jamar Chase. They are no-shows….it is volunteer remember. They are watching other receivers around the league get big money.
