Agree

i honestly don’t think Sanmartin could beat a good college team

All kidding aside, this team might go down as the worst in Reds history.

This season is awful.  The real question for me is how do they get out of this in the next couple of seasons?  No free agent worth anything is going to sign here and the farm system is not great.

LOL!!!

The problem with the Reds is that they aren't the Reds.  They are a collection of ball players, assembled in a clubhouse, being asked to go out and win ball games.  There is no roster consistency, and the players we have are either cut-rate purchases or past-prime refugees or cast offs from other teams.

What percentage of each years roster is the same as it's previous year?  I have no identity to this ball team as being the Cincinnati Reds.  Joey Votto must ask these guys to wear name tags.

Last season I think 58 players washed through this team roster.  It seems like we are on pace to match that number.  It wasn't even May and we'd already brought up some kid from AA.  What does that say about our pitching staff?

This situation is beyond sad.  It is insane and tragic.

This version of the Reds is a disgrace.  I, in no way, blame the players.  I am 100% sure they are doing the best they can as individual players.  This is 1000% on the front office.   Even as bad as the Bengals were during the 1990s, every move they made was to try and get better.   This ownership group has done the opposite and any attempt to say otherwise is a bald-faced lie.
