    Not a single one of those coaches either got a hit or struck out a batter. You gotta pull your weight around here.

    Seems the FO would be embarrassed to gut the team and fire coaches, but I know better. This is the way bad teams operate.

    This is a ownership that renewed Bryan Price multiple times. As long as Bell doesn’t ask for a raise, he’ll stay the Reds manager for years.

    Does Bell get to choose who is on his staff or are they organizational choices?

    These coaching changes feel like deck chair rearranging but they may be able to shore up weak places.

    I mean what's the specific beef with him? Outside of the slow start in 2020 he's pretty much managed these teams to their talent level, and unlike under Price we're actually seeing some of these young starters develop into something.

    I wouldn't shed a tear if he got canned tomorrow but I wouldn't be dancing in the street either. The real issue is in the offices above the field, and I doubt highly Bell will be Manager for Life due to his last name.

    Fair response, my last post had more to do with WOY coming so hard at me for daring to question Bell and the reason he was hired.

    I’ve never been impressed by Bell’s decisions. He makes a lot of boneheaded decisions, in my opinion. He comes off as the most boring person ever, very little emotion, no fire. And yeah, I think that hurts morale.

    Am I dumb enough to think the Reds stunk and will continue to stink because of Bell? No. But, I don’t think he’s helping much.

    As for the point of him being better than Price. That doesn’t mean much. That’s like winning a 100 meter dash against a dumb baby.

    Which, in and of itself, is dumb. Whomever replaces Bell in 12 months is going to want his "own" guys to fill these spots. So, either some of these spots are filled for only 1 year or they are filled long-term with guys our next manager doesn't want.

    Bell is getting the same 5 years Price did. Highly unlikely Bell is the Reds manager in 2024.

    I’m too lazy to look it up right now, but isn’t there an assistant hitting coach on staff? If there is, and he didn’t get the old heave-ho today, maybe that means he’s a candidate for the full time job.

    Blaming (or praising) the manager is absolute lowest common denominator fan behavior. Bottom of the barrel. This organization is a carcinoma.

    No, I'm just a realist.

    The guy has a career in the game, has managed in the minors, coached, ran a farm system, interviewed for other MLB manager positions and was in the running for Giants GM

    He's completely qualified to be a manager in MLB.

    It's really that simple.

    Maybe he's not the best manager, maybe he's the worst ever. But he's not the product of nepotism, which I think is a weak take

    I actually agree with this, and that was my original point. Bell got the job because he’s Buddy Bell’s son. It’s yet another symptom of how bad the reds organization is.

    It’s great that he has those experiences in baseball.

    He got the Reds manager job because he’s Buddy Bell’s son. Both can be true.
