Hamilton is also 5 for 5 and may get another at bat

You are ignoring my point - lemme break it down:
this performance is not entirely on Homer's shoulders because...
- he's only 26
- pitchers don't usually hit their prime until 28 or 29
- he could even be behind that pace because he's played for a players' manager his whole career
what you have incorrect (in my humble opinion):
- the rest of the staff has been caught, for the most part, by Ryan Hanigan (an exceptional controller of the game from behind the plate)
- Chapman is perhaps the single most naturally-gifted pitcher to come along since Walter Johnson, in the sense that that human being was never taught to throw the way he does - he was born that way and is an absolute anomaly - don't tell me that his success is due to his amazingly extensive experience in the majors
this is on the staff, and I promise you that the rest of the staff's success is due to a combination of greater experience, more natural talent, and Ryan Hanigan - Homer isn't the weak link, he's just the unfortunate one
3 pop outs
Another offensive failure
Mes has been a bit of a disappointment this year.
Rolen for god sake RETIRE!!!!! This team is not very good.... They are great then the are down right awful!
The whole team is 25th in the league in batting avg with RISP and 2 out (.204)
So let me get this straight......Any success the pitchers have is not really due to the coaching staff....but Homer being Homer after 84 big league starts is the coaching staff's fault.
Mes was not on the team last year,or the previous 3 years..Hannigan and a pretty good catcher that is now the starting catcher for the Rockies were the catchers for the Reds....
1st pick of the 2023 baseball amateur draft
Ok, quick and don't look it up, who was the last player to hit 4 against the Reds?
