Read an article yesterday where Reds officials originally told fans over the weekend that if they didn't remove the bags, they'd be ejected.  Wouldn't let fans bring in signs about Bob and selling the team.  I guess they 180'd on that really quick and a VP said fans should have the right to express themselves.

I think we are going to be seeing more and more bags.

I think that Bob and Phil figured out quickly that while they may be majority owners they only actually own 14% of the team. The other 86% spoke up and put their foot down. They're likely feeling the heat from the other 86% of ownership about their awful PR moves.

I didn't realize they only owned 14%.

Going from bad to worse...

Yeah, it's somewhere around that number, I've saw 15,16.,17 and now 14 percent.

Reds lose 7-5 today.  Is it just me, or is anyone else expecting to hear that the Reds have been mathematically eliminated from the playoffs any day now?

Statistically speaking in about another month or so you will be able to say history says they are eliminated.

Well, May is only 3 days away.  ?

Statistically speaking in about another month or so you will be able to say history says they are eliminated. They're 3-16.  That means that they need to go 87-56 to get to 90 wins. That means they need to play .608 baseball the rest of the way.  

With this roster, they're already mathematically eliminated.  They most likely will need to win 90 games to realistically have a chance to make the playoffs.  Only 3 teams had a winning percentage that high last season. This roster doesn't have the talent, even at full strength, to win at that clip over 143 games.

I think they were that when Spring Training opened.

Hey, now. They only need to go 78-65 the rest of the way to get to .500. 

The season isn't even a month old and the Reds are already 10 games out.  Since MLB went to division play in 1969, the 2018 Orioles finished the most games out of first (61).   I think the Reds are looking to take first place in that category.

61 games out of first place in their division?  Holy smokes.

I meant to say that to get to 90 wins they would have to go 87-56 the rest of the way.  That's a .604 winning percentage that only 3 teams achieved last season.

Yes.  They finished 47-115.   61 games behind the 108-54, World Champion, Boston Red Sox.
