Right now getting their brains beat in by the 3 win Pirates.  .100 hitters hitting bombs.

The bullpen is an absolute mess.  Can't throw strikes.  Walk every lead off batter, give up at least one run every outing by all of them.

Not one hitter on the team can hit a curve ball.  Right now, ONE guy is hitting the ball.  

Joey Votto is done.  He needs to retire.  He hasn't been a hitter for going on three years now.  Now, he's added being unable to field his position to his current resume.  Yes, he needs to retire.  Instead, Bell has him batting third.

Castellanos started hot but now he's whiffing at least twice a game.  Shogo is a bona fide .250 hitter at best.  Moustakas doesn't even seem to want to play.

Their manager is utter garbage.  He ought to be using the Costanza method.

The catching position is hitting a combined under .200 but Tyler Stephenson gets his one shot, gets a couple hits, including a homer in his very first at bat, and then never plays again.  WTF!??

Starting pitching has been the strength of the team but Gray struggled his last time out and so did Castillo and now Disco is getting pummeled.

Never gonna catch the Cubs, never gonna have a shot at a WC.

No heart,  No fire.  No life.  No chance.

Reds need a kangaroo court. Winker slows down and fails to cross the plate.

Put a fork in them.

Best start that they've had in years.

That’s not saying much.

My hope for them is all but gone.

If you are leading the league in OBP and OPS you are automatically innocent even in kangaroo courts. (Though he should have kept running hard.)

One thing i always yell about is 'it would be nice if a Cin team would start slow (if that's the case, not that i want them to) and finish strong'. 

Well, here we are. Playoffs from the abyss. 

It's nice to experience, for once. Congrats Redlegs! :)
