Unfortunately I think the fact we keep losing once we get around 500 probably shows us what this team really is. Good for what we are used to, but a middling, just sub 500 club.
There are some nice parts and some intriguing guys for the future, but just no cohesion.
If you are going to run a defense out there like this one, along with the bullpen, you better have a consistent offense like the Dodgers. We do not have that. Yes, some of the #s are good, but there are a lot of holes up and down the lineup who simply are overmatched 70% of the time at this level.
yes 20,000 posts of wisdom,, including sometimes you just get beat,, and were good again were bad again

tony cloninger is right,, the reds should have started kelly paris at shortstop
I think they should seriously look at Votto and Suarez going forward, They are simply over matched. Also bringing in people like Heilamann and Freeman insn't going to work. The pitching is coming along but the offense is so inconsistent.

I reiterate this offense is really bad. Only reason why it isn’t complained about more is how historically dreadful the bullpen is. Offense is only a half step ahead of last season where it didn’t score a run in two playoff games. I hope Castellanos and Winker move onto other teams and don’t waste away in Cincinnati
Love how certain people never post after a win. Only after a loss. I would find another hobby or another team. Yes I moan and groan when they lose. But I can and do enjoy myself when they win.
