Re: Why do they suck on offense so much?
Thanks for the replies. Nice to see I can vent on here without having a bunch smart-a$$ know-it-alls attack (the reds mlb board is horrible, which is why I'm glad I found redszone).
I know it's still very early in the season, and hopefully they are just going through their slump early on, but the way these guys look at the plate reminds me of what a team in September looks like when they are playing on fumes and are completely exhausted.
It's only April, the Reds should have a lot more focus than they seem to at the plate.
And yeah I am really getting tired of Stubbs act. He is fast, a great fielder, a good base stealer (who doesn't try to steal nearly enough), but a lousy hitter. It'd be one thing if he was making up for his weak average with walks and SB's, but man, will he ever learn to lay off those breaking balls away?
I mean it's almost predictable when you see him whiff and miss. So counter-productive as well.
They just need to start winning some frickin games and I will be happier.
