Phil Castellini surprised that Opening Day tickets still unsold

[Big Red Smokey]

I try to do my part with the TV ratings by using VPN and MLB.TV and watching the game with the road announcers.

[Sea Ray]

I rarely post anymore simply because this franchise just doesn’t matter to me that much anymore. Phil’s comments simply reinforce my belief that the Reds care more about the dollar than winning.

If they cared so much about the dollar then why spend $10mill on a sore shouldered pitcher? Why are they the only team that thinks Tommy Pham is worth $7.5mill? This is incompetence not frugality. I won't even get into Mike Moustakas

Pham and Minor are reactionary transactions to try and polish up the turd known is a fire sale after they realized fans weren’t buying it.


Slash payroll…. fans get mad… gee we didn’t expect that, here’s a couple players we found…


Bob’s entire tenure has been largely reactionary moves with no long term planning.

Anyway, the Reds fans should do everything possible to stick it to ownership. They don’t care about the fans? Then the fans need to find other interests till this ownership group is gone.

In other words, double down on your mistakes. Can't disagree there

Again, it's both.

[Sea Ray]

Again, it's both.

If they were concerned about the dollar they would have said no to MM. That was a stupid move financially

After I take my ad down this could be my next signature.

Brilliant.

Sigh. Again, it's both. Sometimes one contradicts the other.

Cheapasses prone to rash and foolish decisions?

Or rash and foolish cheapasses.

Pick one...

Immortalize me! I love it haha

[Big Red Smokey]

Only 154 more of these great experiences to go. Where else would we go indeed

[UKWhoDey]

Where am I going to go Bob and Phil? Somewhere that I can buy more than 1 beer with a $20 bill for starters.

If I'm say Mike Brown, I tell the Royals, "no way I'm taking on MM's salary. Give me a minor leaguer and you can have Garrett."

It's not Phil's words as much as his product. I'd tolerate a brash owner if his team was 5-2 rather than 2-5. It's his team's performance that's the biggest problem

[Chip R]

Oh I’m not saying put Phil in front of a mic again. Just something more than what they did from someone who has some clue how to some sincere when talking to the public.

Like Nick Krall.
