Obviously only time will tell. Perhaps another franchise will go the cheap route.
But his resume is not good. I get it that he’s not been given a full deck of cards to play with but he makes poor decisions with the cards he has been given.
We have been told it’s not the manager who actually makes the decisions anymore. They are being made by the binder people in the FO. So we all know how bad those people are.
His resume is actually pretty solid. Reds fans for some bizarre reason only ever looked at his Louisville Bats record but he spent several years on staff with the Cubs and Cardinals including as the Cards bench coach, and an important FO job with the Giants before coming here. Add in several years as a largely .500ish manager with a poverty franchise and he will definitely be someone who at least gets interviews post-Reds.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”

If you look at the batting averages of the lineups every day, it's obvious something is wrong. If you look at the bullpen, it's just not good. Using Strickland with the 6.41 ERA in a situation like that shows either there is no one he trusts or he's bat crap crazy. I'll be a Reds fans forever, but this game was winnable and poor decisions cost them the game. He got lucky last year with all that firepower and hitting. And it hurts to see the lowly Pirates winning and winning. Just mad as can be.

Crap, I was at a wedding reception and took a peak at the score and the Reds were up 7-3. I thought all was good !

Maybe the grand slam helped Mahle. They need to cut Moose, Votto's near the end. The pitching is awful.
I’m finding myself more and more impressed with him as days go by. I don’t like managers getting too much credit but I think he’s done very well in keeping the wheels from falling off.

The Reds are just a farm team any good player will be traded and they will maybe win 65-75 game a year. The LAs and NYs will just feed off us till there is nothing left, like it is now.
