Good team played a bad game.
I'm defining "good" as having a 64-52 record.

I really don't think that fundamental lapses by players equates to having a low baseball IQ or low IQ in general. In fact, I think that assertion is silly. There isn't a person in this world that hasn't made mistakes in their job. It's the human condition.

“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”

Another wasted opportunity. So frustrating.
Thanks Jack and Xavier both of your WARs should lose a full point tonight.
Attended 1976 World Series in my Mother's Womb. Attended 1990 World Series Game 2 as a 13 year old. Want to take my son to a a World Series Game in Cincinnati in my lifetime.
Lose one game after winning a few in a row and the sky is falling.
We're bad again. Win tomorrow and take the series.

We finally threw in the white towel on that disaster. Hopefully the concussion doesn't last till tomorrow.
This team was really banking on Ludwick having a good season. Injuries have really hurt us...more than other teams who have had injuries as well. I think this goes back to management not having much of a bench.
1st pick of the 2023 baseball amateur draft
Nice.
As I said, the 2001-2009 Reds had no expectations. I didn't get myself too worked up over those teams. This team had high expectations and have played disappointing, boring/sloppy baseball. With this teams pitching staff, they should have a much better record than their current one.

Sparky was more diplomatic than that. Playing them that much wouldn't have been very fair to the rest of the league now, would it?
Fans today really have zero clue what they missed back in the mid 70's with that offense. Reading about it just doesn't do it justice. Watching some highlights just doesn't do it justice. There has never been and probably never will be a starting 8 that matched that one. Offense, defense, baserunning, arms, power, patience, etc, etc, etc. Just totally spoiled me as a fan. :O)
Four errors, two unearned runs, two outs given away on the bases, and a failure to get a runner in from third with 0 outs. Reds completely gave this game away.
