Reds are 1-9 in one-run games. They've lost 15 of their last 16 one-run games.

[Big Klu]

On pace for 37-125.

I take issue with the TV guys saying "on a night The Reds mounted a comeback".


Comeback attempt maybe, but this bad boy was never tied

At this point I hope they do this. Shame on everyone involved in putting this team together. Burn it down and start over. Not sure they have much of a choice otherwise.

[Big Klu]

Reds are 1-9 in one-run games, and 2-16 in games decided by 1 or 2 runs.

[The Operator]

All the reds need to do is win 20 games in a row and theyll be above .500. That's easy right?

And to think Dick Williams said this was the year they go .500 before "adding meaningful outside help" next year. What a clown show.

"Can't add good players until we have a good team, can't have a good team till we add good players".

I'm sure tha 50 million dollar bamtech payment is softening the blow for this awful ownership group though.

I'm starting to hope at some point this year they have a game with zero fans in the stands. Not a one except for the ushers. It's the kind of egg on the face this front office and ownership train wreck deserves.

Now, it was tied at 0-0 until the second pitch of the game.

I know they have some talent in the minors but I cant imagine the reds turning this thing around without significant free agent signings and who the heck would come to play here? This org is the laughing stock of the league. Worse then the Marlins after what they just did and that is really saying something.

[Tom Servo]

Worse then the Marlins

I'll be pretty shocked if The Reds don't finish with the worst record in baseball this year.

I don't think the corpse of Disco and Michael Lorenzen are gonna turn this train wreck around.

I think a lot of it is just bias though, we watch the Reds every day and not, say, the Orioles.

Would I be shocked if the Reds have the worst record? Not really. But I look at the rotation and see more potential for improvement than the White Sox, and I look at the offense and I see better than the Marlins.

[Kinsm]

I'll be real honest with you folks, I just don't see how this team can become good. Even if you trade away everyone on the team with value I don't see enough high ceiling talent coming back to fix this. And I also don't see the Reds spending bookoo bucks in FA.

You have to cross your fingers on both your hands and the toes on your feet and pray that these young players become good, if not - it might be one or two winning seasons at most in the next decade.

If this year's team loses 110 or more, maybe the ownership will be embarrassed enough to try to add talent this winter.. If the Reds have under 100 losses? We will get the same tired BS story.. "oh we have such a wealth of young pitching, better not spend any money and block one of these golden arms"..

The fanbase was very understanding about how the Reds lost their established rotation and had to rebuild. This is (likely) going to be the 4th season in a row of 90+ losses.. The team is getting worse, not better.. and management does not seem to care.

The Reds ownership thinks 'rebuild' means "neglect until the farm system saves you".. That is just wrong.

[Umkubas]

the Reds lost their established rotation

You must be following an alternate Cincinnati Reds team.

Cueto was traded.......impending free agency was too much for ownership to deal with. Leake was traded........impending free agency was too much for ownership to deal with. Latos was traded........traded for prospects(?). Cingrani was traded......for prospects (?)

Bailey, of the no-hitters, remains as the last of the established rotation.

I see no losing but conscious efforts by management to deal with impending free agency and perceived effective prospects.

I see cheapness in an organization and poor planning by management to let all of those pitchers leave within a short time frame.

With this loss and the Orioles having the night off the Reds officially have the worst record in baseball. They are well on their way to the first pick of the 2019 draft. Ownership and management has turned this into an embarrasment of of an organization. I hope they are proud of what they did.
