What were the options? Cody Reed? Trade for Sonny Gray? Sign Chapman? Any free agent pitchers out there last winter they should have signed?
Not saying you're wrong, just not very convincing. Personally, I don't think they have much of a plan, and incompetence and cheapness are much better bets than intentionally tanking.
Castillo walked and hit a guy and then struck out the side. Wow.

They need to give Castillo #36 when Blake Wood finally leaves.
Everyone keeps saying that Luis reminds them of Johnny Cueto, but I see Mario Soto when he pitches.
Eric Stratton, Rush Chairman. Damn glad to meet ya.

Thom: There's a rocket into center field.

Glenn Braggs was an outstanding acquisition by Bob Quinn. He was a perfect 4th outfielder, capable of playing either LF or RF (and since Billy Hatcher could slide over from LF to CF, it meant Braggs could spell Eric Davis as well). He also had a fine season at the plate, hitting for a high average (.299 BA) with extra-base power after joining the Reds.
Plus, we also got Billy Bates in that deal!

It's Joey fault he cannot elevate his line drives more.
Reds leave em loaded.
