Current MLB single-season record for shutout losses is 33 (1908 Cardinals).
We're on pace for 36.5 right now.
Stink. Stank. Stunk.
Reds have played 10 games of scoring 1 or 0 runs, out of the first 40 games. 25% of your games and you can’t score more than 1 run.
They bring in new coach, hitting coach, new players and it’s the same story. Pathetic
They absolutely suck with runners in scoring position. I thought the new game plan, was to play the game the right way? Advance runners, make contact, move runners along. Instead, they swing for the fences just like very year. No concept of how they game is supposed to be played.
There is no I ( individual) in team, this is a team sport, and it requires all players to sacrifice, hit the other way, and make contact. I watch other teams just try to make contact against us, but we apparently didn’t get the memo.
On another subject, EDLC is now tied for 2nd in strikeouts, so much for him making contact. On top on that, he is bailing out of the batters box at least twice very at bat. The Reds couldn’t hit a slider, if their life depended on it, if I was the opponent, I would not throw a fastball for a strike, and just throw sliders on outside of the plate, all day.
