Every time I turn on a Reds game they are losing, so I change the channel and I'm sure many others do the same. Listening to what The Cowboy is going to eat later while Reds are getting killed is pretty lame TV. ......The REALISTIC GOAL should be to win more games in April, May and June and at least not clinch last place in April as they have been doing.
The Reds STINK and it's not good for fans or anybody. They need to get out of last place and play .500 ball way before they can ever dream of play-offs. As long as we have the worst pitching in baseball, we will flounder in last place. My hope is some of the young starters come on and get these sad sacks to an 81-81 season instead of being near 100 losses. I refuse to watch Reds in last place and I have better things to do with my Spring and Summer than watch Reds lose every night.
I have no idea who this so called Japanese Bade Ruth is but if he is all that, which I doubt, he will want New York Yankee type mega bucks and Yankees can have him....Reds have traded many good players to get all these young players and Small Market Reds have their big money tied up in Votto and need these young players and less expensive vets to get them 81 wins, some how, some way.
I'll be honest. I no longer care about October and November baseball in winter coats. Just give us a team that's not in last place in April on....Just give us a Reds team that plays .500 ball in first 3 months and come July, I'm ready for NFL again anyway.
The Reds had an extremely good offense this year and we’re only a couple of reliable dominant pitchers away from competing. You should probably read about Ohtani before you make assumptions about where he’ll play. He has narrowed his list to 7 teams, Reds aren’t in the running. He can’t get a huge $200m contract, he’ll get a contract like Iglesias or Chapman got when they came to the States.
