June 4, 201511 yr Hoover sucks. Frazier can't begin to advance a runner to third with no outs. And the gaffe to end it is the icing. Leake got reamed by the pen. Shame.
June 4, 201511 yr The groundskeepers from Major League are much more fitting. These guys are :poop:...
June 4, 201511 yr All will be well when they return to Cincy. The crowds will be overflowing Frazier will probably hit half dozen solo bombs into the upper deck Bruce's average will probably go up 50 points Chapman will be Chapman Walt and Castellini will never break up this team as long as they have the occasional series like against the Nats
June 4, 201511 yr Reds are now 6-15 since 2010 in Philadelphia. 9 of their 15 losses have been walk-off wins for the Phils. I think 12 of their losses the Reds have lost a lead in the 7th inning or later. This team is a joke. Trade away Cueto, Leake, Chapman, Phillips (if you can), and any other pieces teams may want. Start completely over.
June 4, 201511 yr Some of you guys crack me up. Lets trade Votto and Phillips because they are the only "true" professionals on this team. Last night's loss and the night before fall squarely on the manager IMO. Last night, Leake had thrown well over 100 pitches and there was no need to run him out there in the 9th inning. Let someone start fresh in the inning and take your chances. The night before, if Chapman is the man everyone thinks then he pitches the 8th inning. This team cannot afford to give games away and they have done that 8 to 10 times already. Todd Frazier is a hack, pee poor plate discipline and has no clue in the box. Jay Bruce is just about as bad. Have some discipline and awareness. Watch the approach Votto takes at the plate and learn from it.
June 4, 201511 yr a clinic on how to choke Very much so... These last two series perfectly sum up the Resds this year.
June 4, 201511 yr I don't fault Price at all for the way he used his pitchers last night. He gave Leake a chance to get his first career shutout. then when it was clear he was not going to get it he brought in Chapman at the exact right time IMO. The players on this team have lost these last two games, not Price.
June 4, 201511 yr The losses the past two nights are as frustrating as any in recent memory, excluding, of course, losing three straight to the Giants at home in the playoffs. The lack of talent in the minors also is a cause for concern.

June 4, 201511 yr Who said trade Votto? Or did I miss it? Or was your soapbox so I that I didn't hear it clearly? Many have said it on here repeatedly. Not going back to dig it up. I will rely on your expertise from here on out. Heck from your posts and those of others on here, you will never be satisfied no matter what is done.
