which is why this is the worst offense i've ever seen. Definitely the worst for the Reds. They are absolutely dreadful and need an absolute overhaul. STOP drafting pitching and start drafting hitting. I swear good pitchers are a dime a dozen nowadays but it's extremely difficult to find elite hitting.

I would say fire the hitting coach but we tried that already.
I’m thinking this is a bad organizational philosophy being painfully exposed. I dunno, maybe not. Maybe it’s bad luck being magnified in a short season. But either way, it’s sucks like hell to watch play out when your playoff hopes are hanging in the balance.
Sigh. Regroup and win tomorrow.

If we miss the playoffs, this game...this one right here...is going to be the one I remember.
Man, this stinks.

Homer Bailey went for the Twins tonight. 5 days from now will be Sunday, against the Reds. Last game of the season.

We have Bauer tomorrow. Mahle and Lorenzen Friday. Castillo Saturday. Gray and Bauer both Sunday. We'll be ok.

Garcia has 1 walk in 95 plate appearances. He has no extra-base hits, while striking out 40% of the time. Sending him up to hit with two outs in the 9th, trailing by one run, is the very definition of desperate.
