Are we still making cuts? Add this name - Carson Spiers.

[Fil3232]

Will the Reds score more than 5 runs in a game the rest of the year? Sure doesn’t feel like it

I hope that the Hall of Fame election for Elly is held up until he doesn't lead the majors in errors and strikeouts.

Wish they'd solve our outfield problem (and infield problem) by moving him to Centerfield.

[Ky Fried Redleg]

Reds have scored either 0 runs or 1 run in 23% of their games. 34 times in 148 games. That's ridiculous!!!

Almost one in every four games the Reds are either shut out or score just a single run.

[Redsfan6272]

How many times this year has the Reds won game #1 of a series then loose the series??

And crickets about the hitting coach philosophy!!

Yeap. When he's on, he's on. It's just that he cancels that out with the errors and K's. They just don't have much talent that can push him down where needs to be until he can grow up.

One or both of coaching and hitting just flat out suck in this organization. It's embarasses me as a Reds fan when opposing players come in here and are hitting 385ft dingers, when this ballpark was supposedly designed around the homerun hitters the Reds were supposed to have. We're a visitor in our own damn ballpark.

Just fast forwarded through the game….did they ever give an exit velo on that Hinds shot up the middle?
