Is that the same Buster Olney who is an meteorologist who tweets about hurricaines about 10 Times a day?Quote:

Not a fan but hard to disagree with him on this one.Quote:

I'll defer to the experts on that one.
He ain't wrong.Quote:

(I don’t even know if you were speaking of the hurricaine tweets or the Reds stinking - the latter obviously is correct)
On pace for 68-94.
Reds show no improvement from last season, finishing with an identical 68-94 record.
This is third consecutive last place finish for the Reds. Only two other times have the Reds ever had consecutive last place finishes: 1931-34 and 1982-83.
It is also the third consecutive season of 90+ losses by the Reds. The only other time the Reds have ever had consecutive seasons of 90+ losses was 1930-34.
I remember that guy. He was, without any knowledge whatsoever, ripping a manage who's never thrown at opponents at all AND a relief pitcher who can't control his pitches to save his life. Pro journalism.Quote:

I hope I can still be around when the Reds do turn it around someday.
There was some promise in the younger starting pitching at the end of the season. Maybe a couple of them will blossom next year. If the ownership will go out get a decent veteran starter to go with Bailey and the other young starters next year should be better. Probably not a contender but maybe approach .500 baseball. Hope springs eternal by March and I hope we will have a reason to be more hopeful in 2018. See you back in the game threads in April of 2018.
