    Reds will need a number of changes in the off-season, on the management side and the personnel side.

    They just aren’t very good.

    Yep. Again it's not all Bell's fault, but we've seen enough to know we'll never be a winning team with him in the dugout.

    3 hits off of that stellar Pirates pitching crew.

    Take a bow, Reds.

    Iggy will probably blame it on that he shouldn’t be expected to pitch to more than 3 batters.


    Bell will blame it on how much faith he has in his closer.

    The offense will blame it on bad luck

    The Pirates will blame it on them being just as good as the Reds are and they will probably be right. Pathetic

    I remember one time going out to the mound to talk with Bob Gibson. He told me to get back behind the batter, that the only thing I knew about pitching was that it was hard to hit.

    So many bad decisions. What baffles me is guys like Moose and even Cast have proven records of raking and not hitting now.

    Aren't the Reds stuck with Shogo for multiple years? Yikes.

    Maybe a different manager can get more out of this group. On paper they are better than this right?

    I'm not afraid to say that Bell might be one of the worst managers ever. This is a complete and utter disaster.

    A dull thud of a loss.

    Execute the pitches and execute the plays and you get the W. But that was just an incompetent loss.

    Bell botched the bullpen. Had the chance to bring in Bradley to start the 8th inning and didn't. Had the chance to bring him in to start the 9th and.. didn't. This was the most must win game so far this year and you leave the arm you traded for cold in the pen and ask your closer to get a 5 out save. Complete trash.

    A split in Pitt is unacceptable. One hot week gets them into the playoffs, but is this team capable?

    Unlikely, but possible. The manager has lost my faith after this outing day. I would fire him tomorrow.

    No.

    If they can't do more than 3 hits off of these pitchers today, then the answer is no.

    I get the frustration but the problems are deeper than Bell.

    The team doesn’t hit for average, field, run, or close out games.

    Otherwise, they’re great.
