Doesn't krivsky have to do something big to try and save his job? He was the hot commodity as asst gm in minnesota and he has been given some money to work with, if he fails here I don't see anybody rushing to hire him as gm. It may not be Narrons fault but he has to take the fall, and a major deal has to be made before July IMO

Oh no. Be patient! Stay the course. Why blow it up now? The Reds are on the Minn. plan. Which means if all goes well the Reds will be a contender 5 freakin years from now:madman: Springsteen I'm with you. The apathy of management and now fans is disgusting. We have posters on here that think taking 1 of 3 at home is acceptable. Anyone who thinks things are well in Redsland are in total denial. I've said it before they will not get a dime from me as long as this farce continues in. Its a shame that the fans have to endure this crap. My son was 1 when the Reds last won a WS. His whole childhood has gone by without seeing the Reds as I did. Champions, contenders, teams that could compete. Darn shame. I say heads should roll. Lets get someone in here that can motivate players. Lets get someone in here that has their own plan not someone else 7 year plan.

I'm a complainer as much as the next person in wanting changes and all that. BUT it's been said before, this was a 500 team last year, it's a 500 team this year. They have gotten younger in the bullpen, they have got a good rotation and they got some young pieces throughout the lineup. It's going to take some tinkering here and there and patience more than anything else.

 

I'm willing to give him another 2 years after this one, if they haven't progressed at all after that, then I might worry. As for Narron, he has had his chance and needs to be gone after this year.

HC we usually agree. 1st of all they are not even a .400 team this year. And if you add 2 more years to the playoff drought they are in, how long is that in between playoff appearances? More than a decade. Not acceptable.

Krivsky has to try, he can't trade conine for a AA player and feel good about it, With the love castellini has for the reds I don't think he was going to be satisfied with anything besides 1st, and that is not a stretch in this division. the owner told him last year that they could add payroll and we got nothing, most of the time bowden looked like a fool but it at least looked like he was trying

Especially at home:creepy: Its been so long since the Reds have been winners fans are happy with a win here and a win there. String 3 and a 4 in a row and, hey they're on the verge. Is it apathy? I've said it before, I love the Reds, was a kid in the 70's and am absolutely dismayed by the product on the field, the organization and the fans and media that think every thing is fine. I do not think the Reds are any where close to being a playoff team and are not making strides to become one. I guess if they happen to win in 2015 I'm will get some I told you so's and see what happens if you're patient. Let me ask the question. Should fans be complacant with with a club that goes over .500 1 or 2 times a decade? Makes the playoffs maybe once a decade and wins a WS once every 30 or 40 years? Before you answer take a look and see how deep the Reds are in to this scenario right now. When did they last win aWS. When was there last playoff appearance and when was their last winning season?

Lady and gentleman your Cincinnati Reds ^^^^^

Here some more: "Its not Krivsky's faauulltt":cry:

Rome wasn't built in a day. (Thats my favorite):creepy:

It never does anygood to fire the mgr in the season.

Hey at least we're not getting blown out. WHAT!!:scared:

I'm going to start calling these "talking points" as loserisms. IMO thats what they are.

Feeling better after your weekly panic attack???

Not really. They blow and you know it

Unlike our last owner I don't believe Mr.Castellini will stand for much more indecesivness with his manager or gm. Just like a couple of yrs ago there are plenty of young gms who just need a chance to install their plan with their manager and their players

We can only hope you are right about Bananna Bob. As of now he is showing complacency with the rotten produce on the ballfield.

Being a disappointing team and then losing 2 out of 3 and being blown out in game 3 AT HOME by a last place team at this time of year would sometimes spell doomsday for the manager.

Rangers were saying that Fri about the Reds staff. Rubber game decides who is the worst team in all of baseball:dancingpa

And its the reds:dancingpa

I know it's not acceptable, but at least things MAY be pointed in the right direction. He has gone after youth to build this year, he went after veterans in the stretch run last year. Who knows how the rest of this year will play out. He cut Rheal, he sends guys down to get better, he is trying. I'm the first one to make jokes at the bus spinning its wheels without results, but there isn't a lot he can do right now. Aside from cutting lose a big money contract and trying to get some fresh blood on the team.

 

Yes, I know they aren't 500 right now, BUT when you are playing 400 baseball, 500 isn't too far away. :lol:

:thumb: I agree with you here HC. Good post, I feel the same.

I think that we all knew that.

I have been taking a break from the misery known as the "Bad News Reds" this weekend and will be this week. I will be watching the CWS...............Very good baseball, imo. :thumb:
