At this point I think they are just tying to be nice

i seriously hope Pete Rose can be reinstated and takes over the Reds, because he wont make excuses for the lack of hitting, lack of passion and he wouldnt be happy with this teams refusal to make adjustments at the plate.. just venting over frustration since the last 7 games of last season untill now

Gotta keep Bruce, Phillips and Frazier in there

Holmberg struck out the lefty he saw this inning.

I'm not sure how much more Reds fans can take.

i think if the rest of the teams that play the Reds played their AAA team Pitcher at us, we will not see anything different from this Reds team..

Don Mattingly has benched Puig a few times of late. I want Price to look at any Reds player who might be struggling mightily and say hey.....you aren't playing the next two game and if things don't pick up we'll drop you down in the order, platoon or give the position to someone else.

I hate the starters getting catered to like they are Stan Musial and the next guy at their position is a AA player.

but we will --- we will take more

Miguel Gonzalez threw a complete game shutout against us.

I think Juan Gonzalez could beat us.

Yep....see you tomorrow.

Quintin Berry sighting. Nice.

If you cherry pick the four games in Colorado, the Reds are averaging 2.77 runs per game since the ASG. And Price doesn't want to look at the new guys? Seriously? I would think he had seen enough of the regulars.

I commend the handful of faithfuls in here. 100+ posts for a game like tonight is incredible.

If this team is still trying, maybe they should stop. Trying ain't getting it done.

And it borders on insanity, but I will. I truly believe it's more than injuries. I know most don't agree, but this team reminds me of the Dave Miley-Bob Boone-Jerry Narron teams. An embarrassment.

Holmberg is 22, and has had two starts in the bigs. No one really has an idea of how good or bad he can be yet.

And getting a guy to swing at a pitch that's four feet from the plate is exactly what you want your LOOGY to do.
