I used to think they had good hitters in Votto, Bruce, Phillips and others. Phillips is in the top 5 in batting average this year with the Braves. 

All of those players are good hitters but they didn't come up big when it mattered. At the most important times, their bats would go silent

Mines at least delayed the inevitable....I've abused my back all my life and my job now certainly doesn't help....I'll have to pay the piper at some point.

I've had serious back issues in my past & it's not pleasant.

 

Sorry to hear that. The few times I have had back pain, it was awful. Thankfully it has never lasted long.

I used to watch the Reds all the time on FS Ohio. I'm in Central Indiana so I get White Sox, Cubs and Reds games. Pretty awesome to have so many games on a regular basis

Hope it is better.

My surgery was a success. It's better but will never be great. My story is a very long & very interesting one.

The Readers Digest version is that the surgeon who did my fusion has lost his license to practice because he was never qualified to do back surgery. I was one of his success stories.

 

My back is better but it has created other residual issues.

That is a little scary.

 

I knew someone who had such terrible back pain that at times she could not get up from a chair without 2 people helping her. She spent a lot of her savings to have laser back surgery that was not covered by insurance. It "cured" her of her back pain. She said it was one of the best investments she ever made.

It is not constant just when I stand for long periods of time(One Leg is shorter than the other)

I have constant pain in my lower back, feet, and knees. It's tolerable pain but I can tolerate a lot  LOL. It's just due to me being a runner for years. I used to run 5-7 miles a day for years and was even in the mini-marathon years ago which is 13 Miles here in Indy. May always reminds me of the Marathon as I ran it right at 2 hours. Anyway that is why I am careful now days at how hard I push myself but because of the lack of exercise I am about 20 pounds over WT.

That isn't good!

Any sciatica pain? Mine was bone degeneration due to repaired discs in 88.

I was born with a Cerebral Palsy Like disorder affecting my right side(When I was little I called my right hand my baby hand and routinely had to buy to different sized Left and Right Shoes). The Back is a side effect of this

My initial surgery in 88 was supposed to be laser surgery. I ended up not fitting the criteria once they got in because of the location of nerves in relation to the discs being repaired. There is MUCH MORE involved in my recent surgery in 2011. This guy turned out to be an absolute menace who wound up literally crippling some people.

I haven't been able to run since College due to the threat of falling and etc

That is awful. Thank goodness you're okay.

I don't know your age but I'm thinking this may have wider effect as you get older because of the body compensating. Does that sound like a reasonable assumption?

I was never big on running. (probably a good thing based on my history) I can imagine how that could really have a negative effect on those who were always runners. I have never run on anything but a treadmill since 88. Since 2011 I can't even tolerate a treadmill very well.

My nephew who has had 2 major knee surgeries now faces a hip replacement because of how he has walked compensating for the knee for many years. He's 53.

 

That is young for so many surgeries. Is he an athlete?

    • Rashee Rice is honestly very good. He's their no1 receiver and a lot of the time outperformed Kelce last year as a rookie. They also have two elite CBs (we don't have one) so that allows them to shut down the passing game (as evident by their defense last year and their run in the playoffs). Mahomes is elite, but Ballard didn't even try to get a QB in the draft until 2023 after Luck left. We can blame it on Reich and all that, but it's a fact. 
    • Nice mock. Most of the players you took, end up with the colts in my mocks,too. Really like it!
    • Does anyone really think that Chief roster is good enough to make the playoffs minus Mahomes? I don't. If it weren't for mahomes, their running backs would scare no one. They would have one reliable pass catcher who be be able to make plays(Kelce). And there defense would suddenly look very ordinary and wear down from an offense that would go three and out way to often(think our offense with Matt Ryan and his ability to not throw the ball downfield). When you have a qb the caliber of Mahomes you can do things differently because Mahomes makes everyone else on the team look better. Question, how many superbowls did Reid win in his career before Mahomes became his qb?
    • Nice mock.  Don't have anything negative to say about it.  Would be happy if Colts got these players.
    • In this mock, I drafted defense early, then went with best fit / BPA approach.  Mitchell helps solidify the CB room.  Cooper is compared to The Maniac (that would be awesome if true).  Jenkins for depth on DL.  OC from Wisc to replace Kelly in a year or 2.  I'm a fan of UofL Cardinals, so had to pick Guerendo.  And Ford would replace MAC while on a rookie contract.  What do you guys think?   15. Quinyon Mitchell, CB Toledo Height: 6 - 0 |Weight: 195 lbs |RAS: 9.84 Strengths - Can click and close and undercut passes in an instant with his elite recovery speed - Proven ball-hawk with six interceptions and 37 pass breakups over past two years - Energized short-area mover with torrid foot speed and effervescent corrective twitch - Adept processor in off-man and zone, who can instantly trigger on route breaks - Has the frame, targeted physicality, agility, and fluidity to dictate reps in press-man - Has the versatility to play the boundary or the slot in man, off-man, or zone coverage Weaknesses - Doesn’t quite have elite fluidity and sink when bending to close ground on hitches - Can be baited into making premature hip transitions by nuanced WRs at stems - Relatively inexperienced in press-man, and can improve upper-lower synergy - Can keep shoring up his tackling form as a support defender   51. Edgerrin Cooper, LB Texas A&M Height: 6 - 2 |Weight: 230 lbs |RAS: 9.34 Linebackers who naturally, and consistently, make plays, are impossible to replicate. They can run a 4.7 40-yard dash and still be valuable because they process information at lightning speed and are innate playmakers. Edgerrin Cooper is that player, but with outstanding athleticism and length. That length allows him to wrangle ball carriers with an incredibly high hit rate. He knifes through blockers and consistently makes plays around the line of scrimmage, while also providing a bump as a pass rusher. Dalton Miller   82. Kris Jenkins, DT Michigan Height: 6 - 2 |Weight: 299 lbs |RAS: 8.92 Being the son of a former NFL All-Pro, it’s no surprise that Jenkins has some of the most enthralling tools in the class. He’s an incredibly explosive athlete off the snap, both laterally and vertically, and has suffocating strength at the point of attack. Going further, with his burst, twitch, and mass, Jenkins can levy impressive amounts of power into his attacks, and as he trends up with his hand usage and energy efficiency, it’s exciting to think about the potential that remains unearthed. -Ian Cummings   103. Jermaine Burton, WR Alabama Height: 6 - 0 |Weight: 196 lbs |RAS: 9.54   117. Dadrion Taylor-Demerson, S Texas Tech Height: 5 - 10 |Weight: 197 lbs |RAS: 8.87   151. Tanor Bortolini, OC Wisconsin Height: 6 - 4 |Weight: 303 lbs |RAS: 9.79   158. Javion Cohen, OG Miami (FL) Height: 6 - 4 |Weight: 324 lbs |RAS: N/A   202. Isaac Guerendo, RB Louisville Height: 6 - 0 |Weight: 221 lbs |RAS: 9.98   219. Brevyn Spann-Ford, TE Minnesota Height: 6 - 6 |Weight: 260 lbs |RAS: 7.58
