Something they can really build on.

It really shows the lack of pitching readiness/depth when Greene, Lodolo, and Abbott are down. The rotation now is Martinez, Aguiar, Spiers, Lowder (as of today), and... who?
That might be the worst/most unproven rotation in the MLB.

And man, is Diaz struggling somethin fierce this year. Gone from a 1.84 ERA in 2022 to 3.07 ERA last year to now 4.86...as the clear cut closer. While he only technically has 4 blown saves in 50 games pitched, this year is arguably the worst for a Reds designated closer in the past 15 years (Cordero, Chapman, Iglesias, Diaz) when looking at runs allowed.

And the bats REALLY don't seem to get going against the good teams (e.g. Royals series).
