Blame for that should be on the 3rd Base Coach.  House was awful last year, not sure how he retained his job.

Agree with that, 2 outs and the way Castellanos has hit GOT to send him.  I also can’t believe he kept his job, he related to Castelini???  He’s not looked as bad this year because they’ve not hit as well as last year so he’s Not had as many chances to screw up!!

I think wins over Pittsburgh should only count as 1/2 wins, they are that bad.

I realize the Reds play who they are scheduled to play, and with superior starting pitching we win, but the Pirates don't deserve to be playing in the Major Leagues. 

They are terrible and until this 4 game sweep we were 3-3 against them!!

Laughable. The Reds sweep a 4 game series and people still want to complain.

I want an overall better Major League product.  Maybe those days are gone forever.

The Reds have a better dimension than the Pirates - starting pitching.  We have played these people ten times out of the sixty we are going to play this season.  I'd like to feel like we have earned something, or accomplished something other than beating the hapless Pirates.

Mac Whitaker would have walked out on the field and escorted the shortstop off of the field after his olay of the ground ball earlier this week.  Mis-judged fly-balls, strike outs on horrendous pitches,  a myriad of walks in each game, baserunning blunders night in and night out.

Has the game of Major League baseball sunk to this pathetic level????

 Whine on and dream about the 70's,  but the bottom line is the Reds beat the Pirates 7 out of 10 times.  I don't see that as something to complain about.

 For the most part though your posts aren't the issue. It's the people that throw a fit every time a pitcher throws a ball in the dirt that get annoying.

... there's zero chance they make the playoffs given the schedule.  It ain't gonna happen.

Let's hope this one works as well as your proclamation that the Reds will "never ... ever" sweep the Pirates.

You are on track to become the next LRCW. I am hoping you succeed.
