Rookie Sal Stewart message to panicking Cincinnati Reds fans: 'Chill'
The Cincinnati Reds have lost all six games so far on this seven-game road trip through NL Central cities Pittsburgh and Chicago.
CHICAGO -- They're swirling the drain in the National League Central. They're having trouble getting a lead and more trouble holding one if they get it. And with injuries mounting to key players, it's no wonder the locals are restless.
At least it's only May, right? On the other hand, holy cow, it's only May. “So many people are in a panic right now,” Reds star rookie Sal Stewart said, his voice rising just a little in an otherwise quiet clubhouse Wednesday night, May 6.
“Just gotta chill. We’re good. Things like this happen all the time, and especially to good teams.
We’re in a good spot and we’re gonna keep going. “Everyone in this clubhouse knows that we’ve got it taken care of, and we’re going to come out here and keep playing hard. ” Whether that makes anybody back home feel better, the Reds are six games into a seven-game, two-city trip without a win.
