Elly De La Cruz had his worst game of his young career versus the Phillies as Bryce Harper hit 3 Home Runs including a Grand Slam. Reds Lose 9-4. This Reds team is electrifying to start the year and they might be the most entertaining team in all of baseball right now even without their full starting lineup... However, their Defense is atrocious... March Madness is down to the final stages Purdue, Uconn, Alabama, and NC State?!? The Cinderella team that everyone wrote off in the first four is in the final four. We also can't forget about the women's Tournament! Iowa vs LSU rematchup yesterday was one of the more entertaining games to watch this year where Caitlin Clark got her revenge and beat LSU. NFL is about 3 weeks away from the Draft so we will cover that later down the line. Leave a comment down below if you'd like to see GM Casey and Reid do some mock draft videos.

They call it march madness for a reason , but outside of an upset here….aka Kentucky and an upset there, most games in this years first round were rarely competitive. In fact, there were more games decided by 15 points or more in this years first-round games than any ncaa tournament EVER. We started with 68 teams…now we are down to 16. All four number one seeds are still alive….houston, carolina, purdue and defending champion Uconn. All four number 2 seeds are still alive….that is quite rare for a sweet 16. Two threes are still with us….In fact, there’s only one team, acc champion nc state , that’s higher than a 6-seed. The wolfpack will play marquette in the south region. Lets walk thru the matchups which begin on thursday night…. GRAPHIC Uc is still alive in the nit….the cats are in the elite 8 after they steamrolled bradley at fifth third arena on saturday and will next meet indiana state in terre haute on tuesday night at 9 o’clock. Ohio State is also still alive. The Buckeyes host Georgia on tuesday night at 7. A win by each and the next stop is madison square garden for the final four of the nit. The lady buckeyes were shocked in round two of the womens tournament by duke 75-63. Caitlin Clark and Iowa play tonight with a trip to the sweet 16 on the line. The hawkeyes face west virginia. In baseball, shohei otani will speak with the media for the first time since this bizarre story broke. At first, Ohtani’s interpretter told the world that the dodger slugger paid off all of his gambling debts for him…to the tune of 4.5 million dollars to an illegal bookie. A day later, ohtani’s lawyer said the interpreter stole the money from ohtani. The world we be watching and waiuting for ohtani’s comments later today. The Reds are on their way back from Arizona as spring training officially ended yesterday in goodyear. The reds lost to cleveland 10-7. Hunter greene went three innings and allowed a solo home run. Alexis Diaz was awful again as he gives up three runs in the cleveland ninth inning on two hits and a walk. Diaz has been fabulous in his role as the reds closer for the last two years although he did falter badly down the stretch last season. NFL News, nothing new on the bengals after a very fast start to free agency last week. Mike tomlin says russell wilson has the pole position to be the steelers starting quarterback this season. Justin fields will try and change tomlins mind. The chiefs traded star corner jaderius sneed to the tennessee titans for a third-round pick this year and a seventh-round drafy pick next year.
