This team sucked way to bad last year to only get to pick 7th.

We choked that weekend losing 2 out of 3 to the Brewer's
1st pick of the 2023 baseball amateur draft
If it weren't for bad luck then we would have no luck at all.

[Phil ] Castellini celebrated the team's farm system and noted the team had promising prospects who would one day be great Reds -- and then joke then they'd be ex-Reds, saying "of course we're going to lose them". #SellTheTeamBob

And the Reds countered with Steve Parris.. I knew the game was lost when I saw the matchup.
Neagle ended up pitching in relief anyhow.. He should have started the game, even if he could only have gone 2 innings.
Empty the bullpen if you have to, do whatever it takes.
Jack was overall a good manager, but that was a bonehead move. This was an "All or nothing" game, not a regular season game.

If the Reds would have received the first overall pick, most fans would say the Reds will not sign him, he will be a bust, or they will just trade him anyway. This franchise is not going to make most fans happy with whatever move they make outside of signing every big time free agent available, have a payroll of $400m, and fire the manager at the end of every season that does not end in a WS championship.
No, I'd be more disgusted with MLB rewarding outright tanking. I don't know why people still defend the franchise when the franchise itself peeled back the curtain and let the fans see exactly what the end game of everything was. Profits. They don't care about anything else but that 3rd yacht off the coast of Italy.

How about a payroll that is $100 mil and a willingness to try and compete?
I do not think anyone is sitting here saying the Reds should be the Yankees with regard to payroll. But, this team is clearly not trying right now and the organization has not won a playoff series since the mid 90s. What exactly do you expect from this beaten down fanbase?
This is a garbage organization. They used to actually try, though. They are clearly not trying anymore, this is a money making operation for a dozen old wealthy people. That's it.
What would you say.....ya do here?

I remember that game at then-Cinergy Field. In the pregame, the crowd thundered like in the BRM days. I thought “we have this game”. But when Alfonzo hit his HR, the only sound I heard was the celebrating from the Mets dugout. I’d never heard a full stadium so quiet. I looked at my son and said “I think we’re in trouble”. And we were.
