Thank God it's over. Another long last place season not worth watching. I get every Reds game on TV for free extra as part of my TV package, but I never watch them the last few years. The Reds are as bad as the Bengals were in 1990's and early 2000's before Marvin Lewis came in. That period between Paul Brown dying and Marvin Lewis. So the Reds need to hire a manager with power in making player moves. Reds need somebody that knows what he is doing, because Reds are clueless. I don't care what Reds announcers or fans or owners say. Riggleman did nothing to earn the job. This team is going nowhere without changes. This team needs an enema.
The Reds need to be hiring a new Manger ASAP. Get him in here so he can be part of choosing Free Agents. Putting a real team together in the off season. Some high priced Reds may have to go so they can afford the starting pitching, relief pitching, defense, lead off hitters, RBI hitters, base stealers needed to get out of being around last place the last 4 or 5 seasons.
The Cubs and Astros were just awful and they got out of last. It can be done. It starts with hiring a manager that knows what the heck he is doing and giving him power. The Cubs and Astros made huge changes to get where they are. Reds are in dire need of Huge Changes. Most of Reds payroll goes to Votto and Bailey and Reds remain in last place every year. A good manger probably starts right there on getting team out of last place.
It's over, another awful season not worth watching. Give us a team worth watching. People need fired from the top down. Maybe it's time for Castallini to sell the team. Nothing on Reds is working. They have put money into the ball park, statues, hall of fame, but it's time to put money into a winning team. The Reds sux. For a lot of years now the Reds are at rock bottom. The Reds are not that good one minor league players coming up either. The need to hire a good Manager ASAP to change the entire concept of Reds Baseball, because it just ain't working.
I'll add that Reds for years have that Toyota or Honda truck they talk about in every Reds broadcast. That if a batter hits bulls eye, some fan wins it. They haven't given away one truck in all the years they've did that. It is more of the TV stupid of Reds TV. That is more of the hillbilly corn that goes into this team. If they were smart they would have it in a way a truck gets given away a couple times each year to promote Reds and Toyota advertising. Just more of the hillbilly nonsense that goes into last place Reds.
The good news is Bengals are back. Bengals and NFL are a million times better than awful Reds. Reds need a new Manager to blow the whole thing up and start over. Hey, the Bengals fired a lot of people and they finished around .500 ball, but felt they could do better. The Reds haven't been near . 500 ball since Dusty Baker.
I'll add a negative on Reds Caravan to promote Reds. They send out Marty, Jim Day, Castallini, Reds players. I've gone to this a few times. I went this year at Dayton Air Force Museum. I've said hello to Marty, Hal McCoy or Jim Day at these and they just act so smug to fans. How can they be smug ? This team Sux. They were so smug and boring at Air Force Museum, I had to walk away. Instead I went on Air Force One of President Kennedy assassination Dallas, 1963 and hit Old Hickory Ribs near by so Reds Caravan wouldn't be such a wasted day. I'll tell you who had best personality at these and Reds camera day and things with kids over the decades was Barry Larkin. He was always great with the kids and fans and really enjoys baseball and isn't as smug and big headed. Maybe go ahead and make Barry manager and give him power to change whole concept of this last place franchise.
