So scared of making a mistake, or the perfect pitch that they screw up

Damn thought that was gone too.

Marte made it interesting, but the Reds managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory again.

Reds just find ways to lose.
Brewers just find ways to win.

[Goalpost]

Reds lose seems appropriate. Too many mistakes.

omg i hate the ***** brewers so much. i want to get in a fight with one of them i hate them so much. if i were on the team, that's probably what i'd do, go out looking to start a fight because those bitches are just bouncing around laughing having a good ole itme and they JUST DON'T ***** LOSE. 

I can honestly say, i hate those jackasses about an equal amount to what i hated the steelers, years ago.

In conclusion...**** the Brewers in the ass with a rusty nail infused baseball!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Timanky12]

So glad we solidified out defense. 3 errors tonight and a misplayed fly ball. They shouldn’t have any runs and we should have won 2-0.
This team is so far from making the playoffs it’s not even funny. If not for NY collapse the season would already be over.

The Brewers are probably laughing in the clubhouse, saying, how did we win these last 2 games. We can’t lose if we try.

That's what i'm saying. If you can't beat them on the field, they sure as **** shouldn't be dancing around like they own the place. I'd be looking to kick the shit out of someone.

I still say the 3rd base ump stole it from us in the 9th on the bs swing call on Farley. With a hit and wild pitch later at the very least it’s 2nd and 3rd with 1 out if not game over. Wasn’t close to a swing.

OR, rather than pushing the blame outwards, look inward and say: don't walk the first two batters in two straight innings, and don't make 3 errors for the second straight game.

Yes that stuff certainly impacted the outcome of the game. I'm not arguing that. But that check swing strike call had just as much impact on the outcome if not more.

Pressure makes diamonds or it bursts pipes.

Zero rivalry. Hammer meets nail.

[*TheLeonardLeap*]

Mets won.

Still crazy that they're on a 3-14 stretch and we haven't managed to pass them.

Saw these on Facebook

"The only way that McLain can reach 2nd base is as the ghost runner."

"Elly should change his number from 44 to E6."

That's sig worthy shit right there.

I’m at a loss for words to explain how the Reds keep losing games they should have won. They Reds haven’t made any progress since Castellini took over. This reminds me of the lost decade, 90’s with the Bengals. I think Castellini should concentrate on his fruits and vegetable business, tariffs will be eating into that business soon. I think it’s time for him to sell the team to someone who wants to put money in it and develop a winner.

I've seen enough of Error De La Cruz at SS. I'll take consistent, routine plays over the flashy "omg, how'd he do that?!!" play any day, all day. Please move him to the outfield, where he belongs, and give Arroyo every opportunity at the SS job. I don't care if Arroyo isn't having a good year at the plate, he can bat 8th or 9th and become bffs with Hayes.

Almost all of EDLC errors are throwing errors. Sometimes the more time he has to make the throw, the worse the throw.

Let’s do a poll today, to see how the Reds are going to lose todays game.

1. Wild pitch
2. Bases loaded walk
3. Home run off top of Marte’s head (like Jose Canseco of the A’s) lol
4. 3 straight strikeouts with winning runs on base

For sure!!!

He's not even an average SS let alone a good one. I've been begging for him to be moved to RF for like a year and a half.

They've got to put him in the outfield next season.
