Just absolutely brutal loss today.
Yeah and not far ābehindā is Suarez at .208 and McLain at .200 even. Just brutal.
Cardinals fan, that was a unique 9th inning. Woke up my cat with the dropped Weatherholt pop fly.
Btw, a few weeks ago Iād give the ROTY to JJ since defense and positional value matter. Lately Iād give Stewart an edge since itās a lot closer, and in a tie Iād give it to someone with a better bat.
Excellence continues
We should just be glad thereās still ownership willing to keep a team in Cincy.
Glad I stopped caring about this SHIT team decades ago.
These must be cathartic posts.

For someone to post 12 times in a season thread for a team that they allegedly donāt care about and 8 of those posts to tell us how he doesnāt care about said team and hasnāt for decades tells me the opposite might be true.

This organization is a fucking joke. I am a lifetime Reds fan and have remained so even though living in St. Louis since 1987.
Perused Reds stats today. One really stuck w me as itās almost inconceivable.
Hayes has 223 at bats and has driven inā¦..wait for itā¦..a total of 9 RBIās ALL SEASON! Could that be an all time record for ineptitude for driving in runs over that many at bats in a season? And oh, he is hitting .143.
Of course he has company on the Reds with McLain still under .200 and Suarez at .208. Ugh.
Donāt forget now DFAād Friedl who hit under .200 all year.

Terrible front office. Last year was fools gold and we werenāt even all that good.
Yeah I probably should have mentioned him (Freidl) as well, Blues, except heās off the roster now.
Also, both McLain and Suarez have over 400 at bats. Add that to TJ and Hayesā totals, and you have a whole lotta substandard hitting! No way a team can win a that many regulars who canāt get on base.
But seriously, 9 RBIās in 143 plate appearances? It seems almost impossible to be that bad.
Donāt forget they also DFAād CES, who had a minor league option remaining. He currently has a .835 OPS in 208 PA with the Orioles.
The Redsā woes get long-form treatment in The Athletic today.
This franchise wasted Vottoās entire career.
Iām not expecting anything positive. Elly will be electric in another uniform someday
After reading the Athletic Article do we as fans blame the front office for not being able to sell the owner on the proper way to run the club or blame the owner who is limiting the front officeās ability to field a successful team? Krall has made some bad choices for sure but heās also been put in situation with little likelihood of success.
The fact that every year Bob asks how teams like the Brewers & Rays are doing it, is presented with their blue print and then disregards everything he just heard is mind numbing.

They make money whether the team wins or loses, right? Takes away incentive.
Hey, somebodyās got to be the worst owner in baseball now that Arte Moreno sold the Angels. Right, @thechuck_2112?
