Voice of Reason Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 After the horrible start, the Reds played .500 ball for the next 80 games. Then they traded away their remaining top notch players and became a minor league team playing in the majors. Meanwhile, the Cincinnati Reds West AKA the Seattle Mariners broke a 21 year drought of not being in the playoffs. That was the longest non playoff streak in professional sports. I'll be rooting for the Cincinnati Reds West in the playoffs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
16thBBall Fan Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Well with losing 100 games exactly this year to put in perspective it is the first time they’ve lost 100 or more in 40 years (1982) and in the past 40 years they had some bad teams.

Not sure I'm following you. Seems like you have been down on them all year, now it looks like you have had a change of heart. Maybe I'm just reading your statement wrong.

No I am saying that shows how really bad this years team actually was. In the past 40 years we've had some bad teams that I think most would agree with, but it has been 40 years since a Reds team lost this many games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete, how do you think next year looks? Greene looked good down the stretch. Lodolo looks solid. Ashcraft also. Think they can be .500 or better next year? LRCW is a big fan of Elly De La Cruz. Maybe he makes it up here some time next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some good days, but mostly not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll have to push a lot of the right buttons to be .500, won't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Well, they fired five coaches today. Delino DeShields (1st base), Christian Perez (advanced scouting coach), Lee Tunnell (Bullpen), Rolando Valles and Alan Zinter (hitting). Of course their replacements will fare no better if the continue to roll out a Double A team and the MLB level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
