Reds are dead last in MLB in both team batting avg (.192) and BB (46).

Reds are dead last in SB (3) but 4th highest in caught stealing (6).  Even very poor running team should be successful on 50% of steals.  I only went back 5 years but the worst team stolen base percentage was 57.4 by the '16 Cardinals.  They were one of only 2 teams over the last 5 years to not steal at least 60%.  The Reds are currently sitting at 33.3%.  We may be on pace for some sort or record if we keep this up.

Every game that goes by it's becoming more of a major concern !

The Reds every day starting "power hitters" Votto, Suarez, Puig, Winker, and Kemp have a combined average of .202 with combined totals of 14 HR's and 34 RBI's. C. Yelich has 11 HR's and 29 RBI's himself.

The only guy that's even close to the league leaders in offensive stats is Dietrich with 5 HR's and 13 RBI's and has won us like 3 games by himself and he's got 20 less at bats than the regulars and is still only batting .200

I don't think I've ever seen a team slump in batting last this long ? Our leading hitter is Barnhart at .263 and he has 1 HR and 2 RBI's. If the bats don't come alive soon they're gonna find themselves 10 or 12 games out in the middle of May. They've got a bunch of road games over the next 3 weeks.

They've got to come out of it.
