Price fired

I don't really like this as it feels like the ultimate case of scapegoating. He doesn't really control the fact that his star hitter is batting .258, and his other 7 regular starts are batting .238, .234, .175, .274, .277, .059 (granted, Blandino is only playing because Suarez is injured) and .172...
That said, it'll be interesting to see if a new manager will actually put Amir Garrett in the starting rotation, where he belongs, and may actually ***** call up Nick Senzel. I guess they're going to wait for the Super 2 deadline, but that may not be until June, if not later.
I think the mismanagement of the bullpen (signing and then designating Gallardo, calling up Rainey, playing him in tight situation, sending him back down, which required the Reds to make a roster spot for Floro by designating Hernandez. Then, because he was going to get claimed (I mean, have you seen that curveball?) they decided to get in front of the problem and just traded him for peanuts. Don't get me wrong, I understand Hernandez has a super low ceiling and has major control problems, but I just know that he's gonna go to LA, learn to throw strikes and become a really good reliever and we're just gonna be bummed about it.
It's been a saga with Price. He obviously felt like he had no time, which led to him making rash decisions. And he ended up being right, cuz he's gone now.
We'll see if a slew of interim managers can do anything with the remainder of this season.
