I was unaware the Reds play all 162 at home.
If you actually look at the numbers (I know, why look at the numbers when you can just blindly make statements?) you will notice there is not much of a difference between home and away offensive stats.
Home:
265 runs
104 2B
6 3B
60 HR
Away:
251 runs
109 2B
9 3B
54 HR
My opinion? If you are honestly disappointed with this season, you should probably just stick to football.

The defense has been a huge disappointment. Their inability to play ever average fundamental baseball, particlarly when running the bases, has been a disappointment. Considering the quality of the pitching, this team should be doing better. On paper they are better than the Pirates.
I think they should be about 5 wins better than they've achieved so far.
Hm, definitely didn't say that. I said in this particular season, one in which the Reds are 16 games above .500 despite the fact they have had injuries to their ace, cleanup hitter, catcher and 2nd and 3rd best relievers.
You can obviously do whatever you want with your fandom, but your mentality is similar to a football fans mentality.

And you're bordering on the ad hominems.
A football fan thinks in terms of a sprint rather than a marathon. If you are suggesting that I don't look at the "big 162" you haven't been reading my posts over the years.
As of 8/15/13, all things considered, particularly the step up performances by Latos, Bronson, Leake, Cingrani, Hoover, and Para, the Reds have been a disappointment.
