    Does David Bell have a crush on Travis Jankowski? The guy can’t hit and shouldn’t be on a MLB team yet Aquino is a forgotten player. The team needs offense, not a defense/speed guy.

    Keep in mind Joey is a notorious slow starter. If this were a regular year we would be in like the first week May or something right now.

    I know it sucks, but if that were the case people would not be freaking out as much right now.
    What would you say.....ya do here?

    I guess you don’t watch when Reds are in the field. Like the bloopfest yesterday.

    I can't remember the last time the Reds scored without a HR

    At least he has an excuse. What’s the deal with the rest of these guys?

    Especially with the way he's hitting now, Votto is clearly not a fit at leadoff. Who else could they try there?

    Winker's hit there before, but if his power stroke continues, he's probably better to have in an rbi spot. Galvis doesn't have high enough OBP for leadoff. Shogo fits the profile, but he's not consistent enough yet. Senzel works if he can ever stay healthy. So frustrating to watch this bunch continue to flounder.

    They are struggling more offensively. For the most part, defense isn’t losing them games.

    I can visualize Aquino as the DH. He would certainly have hit many home runs by now, although his average might be as low as a the top 3 of the batting order. What did he do to get on Bell's bad side?

    For weak hitting teams, run prevention is more important, not less important.

    Pitching and defense always matters in baseball.

    I think it's obvious that there is no sense of urgency.

    I also think this team will never win with Bell as manager, and cannot overcome a 0.700-ish OPS bat at 1B or DH....no matter where you try to hide it in the order.

    Pitching and defense are important. You can’t win if you don’t hit, it’s that simple.

    0-2 to Carpenter.

    0-2 to Molina.

    Idiot team.

    Reds seem to love Nate Jones.

    I don’t see it.

    Thornburgh looks by far the best of the “bounce back” relievers.
