Hello, my name is Nick and here on The Assortment we want to give you a wide range of topics to read about that include sports, and life. I've always had an eye for a wide range of topics, so I didn't want to limit myself to just one. That is how "The Assortment" started. I hope that you all find our website enjoyable, but most importantly a place where you can come to read and just enjoy our topics. Donations can be made @Nick-Watkins-13 on Venmo. Thanks for all your support!
0-11 with runners is scoring position (RISP). That’s it, that’s the tweet. Again, for the second game in a row, hand up I couldn’t watch till the 7th inning. So yes, I saw Elly De La Cruz strike out with the bases loaded and two outs. What’s most alarming about it, as I was watching... Continue Reading →
Again, hand up I was only able to watch the last two innings of last night's hurricane game between the Reds and Phillies. Didn’t matter, Frankie Montas again proved why he was named the opening day starter, which in my eyes makes him the ace of this staff. In two starts, Montas has pitched 11.2... Continue Reading →
On April 2, 2024, Bryce Harper took matters in his own hands and beat the Cincinnati Reds. Harper entered the game tonight hitless on the young season, and ended up going 3-4 with 4 HRs and 6 RBI. That’s pretty good. Enough about that, this is a Reds blog, so let’s get to business. Despite... Continue Reading →
I’ll start with the winners and losers of today’s 6-3 Reds victory. Winners of the Day Spencer Steer - Gamer, Hero, Ballplayer Jonathan India - on base machine Andrew Abbott - grinded his tail off Alexis Diaz - get right game CES - two hit day (is he getting hot?) Emilio Pagan - good pen... Continue Reading →
Fast forward to the 9th inning… Reds trail by two runs and who else but Jonathan India steps up to the plate. The guy who everyone talked about trading ALL off-season. What was a lengthy at bat, foul off after foul off, fighting pitch after pitch, doubles down the line. Two outs, India on second,... Continue Reading →
Bottom line, Reds blew this one. More specifically Lucas Sims and Alexis Diaz. Sims enters with a one run lead and gives up a HR to Ruiz to tie the game. Reds respond and go ahead off a Nick Martini double. We were so close to celebrating Nick Martini for another 24 hours, but in... Continue Reading →
Now, I had this great idea that I should blog EVERY Reds game this year…. So, that’s what we are going to do. Yes, all 162 will be right here. I’m going to either love this or hate this over time. I did not watch this game and I wish I could have, but I... Continue Reading →
The Jake Diebler era is off to a hot start! Purdue walked into The Schott as an 8.5 pt favorite, which had a ton of people (including myself) questioning why it was so low. Well, we now have our answer. After Purdue went up by seven, you could just tell there was a different energy... Continue Reading →
Some housekeeping things before we get started - Taylor looked great! - Travis bumping Andy Reid could’ve been elder abuse. - Brock Purdy wasn’t the reason the 49ers lost. - New OT rules are confusing, making them dumb. - Kyle Shanahan will never win a Super Bowl. - Usher absolutely killed it. Brought back all... Continue Reading →
Did we ever think Ohio State would EVER win another basketball game before the season was over? I sure didn’t think so. After yet another terrible January, the Buckeyes somehow found a way to spoil a home win in the new month of February with a loss to Indiana. If you combined both teams, they... Continue Reading →
