I am as disgusted as anyone with the way this team has been playing, but the fact is that this season is far from over. People are treating 15 games the same as 40 games, but they are not the same. I can list MANY teams that looked bad after 15 games and then went on to have great seasons.
Half of the teams make the playoffs so the Reds still have a good shot at that. And just like in any sport the regular season does not matter once the postseason starts. Whichever team is playing the best at that time has the best shot of winning it all no matter what their regular season record was.
So even though 15 games is a quarter of the season it is still just 15 games. And 15 games is not enough to decide if a team will suck all year long.
Just to be clear I am not saying that the Reds don't suck right now. They do. I am just saying it is too early to give up on the season.
