Mercifully, it's over and I wasted 2 hours, 38 minutes of my life I'll never get back.

An awful lot of this last string of Reds hitters were hitting one-something.
Not much fun.

It's going to be a very interesting off season.
It's amazing how many players had horrible years while a couple others broke out.
Cozart fell from .254/.284/.381 to .222/.271/.297
Bruce fell from .262/.329/.478 to .214/.283/.365
Heisey and Phillips had almost the same season as last year, making you wonder why Heisey gets the playing time he does--112 games. Phillips gets his PT because there is few who can his position as well as he does.
Hamilton had a good start, but since the AS game is hitting just above .210.
Breaking out were:
Frazier went from .234/.314/.497 to .277/.351/..454
Mesorocco from .198/.306/.261 to .278/.365/.536. Interesting enough, he played five less games than Heisey
Obviously, Ludwick was missing last year but hit .253/.314/.454 and played less games than Heisey
Also missing was Votto's .305/435/.491 line as well as Choo's .285/.423/.462 line.
The result was a lineup of banjo hitters plus Frazier most days wit Mes playing half time. Hamilton is not Choo and it hurt. Ludwick, with better numbers was passed over by the weaker Heisey or the hurt Schmaker. Pena was a tremendous backup but ended up playing more games than Mesorocco, mostly at first base.
The bullpen was a disaster with only Chapman and Broxton being effective. Amazingly, JJ Hoover pitched more than anyone with horrible results.
A fine mess.
I don't envy Walter, but it's his job to fix this from the dugout to on the field. It will be interesting.

This team is just pathetic, I seems the whole organization is "waiting for next year"...we'll bounce back in 2015. :castellini
Fire everyone.
Meso 414 plate appearances
Heisey 279 plate appearances
This team has obviously chucked it in for the season. I really doubt they win another game this season. Everyone looks to have given up and since Price has lost this team I really wonder if his job is in jeopardy now? I know I have lost most of my confidence in him to get the job done if he's back in 2015.
