Look how many times Miami got the hit, fly ball, move runners up, etc.  Miami will over take Reds before this season is over. The Reds look like they are playing an individual sport, where other teams are playing a team sport. There is no I in team, until that philosophy changes, this team will not change.

I just don't think Reds have good enough hitters in general.
In the last 15 days, here are the BAs for the Reds hitters who are currently active.
Steer - .366
EDLC - .294
Benson - .258
CES - .250
Lux - .240
Espinal - .214
Friedl - .192
McLain - .185
Trevino - .182
Hays - .175
Stephenson - .167
Hinds - .087 (is this dude ever gonna be able to hit MLB pitching?)
Marte - .083

This shows that aside from 2 Steer and EDLC, no one else is really hitting well at all.
You could maybe put Benson and CES in there if you consider .250-.260 satisfactory, but the rest of the dudes are just flat out not getting hits consistently.
