    C'mon man, you are supposed to leave out wildcats and then I'm supposed to complain about it.

    A loss will solely fall on you.
  • Terry_Tate
    Not the same first post as last Reds thread. Thanks for the loss Azu.

    Reds lose 7-3.

    You upset the OC more than dusty I think.
  • thavoice
    This is the type of team you have to take at least two of three from if not a sweep.
  • Azubuike24
    How's it look now?
  • Azubuike24
    The awfulness of the Padres should trump all thread format problems.

    Jinx!!!!

    Do you not understand how this place works? Lol
  • thavoice
    The reds are so terrible I expect the Fathers to sweep them and MLB institutes the run rule...

    Well fuck, now it's a sweep and it's not even noon yet.

    Unbelievable

    Also, this was the first post on the last thread. Think it's too late to make it the same now since it's already been done but you can try.

    Bailey against a good hitting team. Uh oh.
  • Rotinaj
    Using same thread title and first post after a win hasn't done shit. If we had a winning record I could see people getting a little annoyed but we're 2 games under. How about we start bitching about Votto and the rest of the offense sucking instead. Seriously, WTF is up w him?

    Shhhh....Votto is an elite scooper and likely a step faster than my grandma
  • thavoice
    I say Price should move Votto in the lineup every week or so. Seems like when he moves the productio goes up for a short period of time.....
  • SportsAndLady
    Votto isn't the problem. IMO.
  • Rotinaj

    Not THE problem but you have to admit him hitting .258 isn't helping either. .300 is the absolute worst I expect from him. Im shocked its as low as it is now. He's the one guy(on our team) that has been absolutely consistent practically his whole career.
  • Azubuike24
    We bitch about Votto but he's by far the best hitter on the team!

    Who else is even good? I mean, the 3/4/5 hitters Phillips, Bruce and Ludwick are combined like .690 OPS. Frazier and Mesoraco are the only other projected starters you can say have met or exceeded expectations. Frazier is about where we expect and Mes got hurt...

    He isnt the whole problem. You need your best hitter to be hitting better than the interstate with RISP.
    The catching position, Ludwick and I would say Frasier are the only two spots in the lineup that are doing as well or better than what this team was needing.
    I wasnt sure about Hamilton and what he could do offensively. I guess if someone told me at this point in the season he would have the numbers he has I would be OK with them with the expectations that he will progress.

    If this team is going to do anything they need Votto, Bruce and BP need to to produce. Period. I thought going in if the big three gave us #'s we expected and if 3 of the 4 (Meseraco/cather, Ludwick, Frasier, Cozart) then this team could be serious contenders if the pitching did what was expected.

    So far they have gotten the production from those guys, but not the big guns. I have to believe by the end of the year that the big 3 will have solid numbers and just hope that for a good part of the season they produce at the same time those others I mentioned also put out.

    It's just fun to bitch about and give people a hard time. I really don't give a shit, but gotta have some sort of fun with this team right now because they have sucked to watch.

    The reverse jinx stuff is real though.

    Still optimistic though and think they have a real shot at the playoffs even though they haven't shown it.

    Playoffs?

    PLAYOFFS?
  • Azubuike24
    Hamilton back in the starting lineup.
  • Azubuike24
    The jinx and reverse jinx stuff usually only works when it's honest and unintentional. Otherwise, every game thread usually has at least one jinx FOR the Reds and their record is still 17-19.
