I almost went to Taft High School..
Then I moved and went to Aiken, which seems to have vanished off the face of the earth.
edit: it transformed into a 7-12 school.
go falcons.

Solid hire for them, was hoping they would take Kevin Towers away.

It's embarrassing, another red mark against Jocketty and Price.
Re: 9/28/2015 Reds at Gnats
Boesch's missed catch haunts, den Dekker ropes a double to right to drive in the run. He's out at third though.
1-0 Nats
2 out walk to Dan Uggla...not a good idea Finny.
Re: 9/28/2015 Reds at Gnats
And another hit for opposing pitchers, Scherzer is 2-2 after Finnegan slows a groundball down to a dead stop and now has himself in trouble.
Re: 9/28/2015 Reds at Gnats
And Michael Taylor singles to make it 2-0, all because of the two out walk to Uggla.
Why am I watching this? This is really bad.

Only reason to watch at this point is to see the Votto at bats.
Re: 9/28/2015 Reds at Gnats
I'll say this though, I am still encouraged by Brandon Finnegan. To my eye, he looks like he can be a starter. But he also looks like a 22 year old just over a year removed from pitching in college ie: he still needs work. Some non-terrible defense behind him would be a nice as well.
Re: 9/28/2015 Reds at Gnats
lol i just realized the Reds are being no-hit
Re: 9/28/2015 Reds at Gnats
3-0 Nats on a solo HR with two outs in the 5th by Wilson Ramos
Re: 9/28/2015 Reds at Gnats
Walt recently said that he doesn't think the Reds are that far away. Or words to that effect.
This last week, I think they are not that far away from the '62 Mets.
I mean, it really took work to have the 2012 team reach these depths in three short seasons. Hard to imagine.
If Scherzer no-hits the Reds today, I wonder if it will count as a major league no-hitter.
Looking at the schedule, I thought the Reds would beat the Mets Sunday (post-celebration) and the Nats today (another struggling outfit). Doesn't look promising.

Honestly, as miserable as things look, I don't expect the Reds to be this bad next season. I think they can be an adequately average/below average team. It's pretty hard to be this bad.
But boy, they need to make some changes.

Not sure how you feel, but I don't root for average/below average.
Either you're contending or you're rebuilding.
I reject the idea that the goal is "semi-decent and hope for good luck." I know some fans feel that way, I don't.
Reds out in 30 seconds there.
