    2020 Reds

    This season is a walking Halloween joke. Just scrap it before it turns to shit. The Marlins will become an indy league team soon. Mattingly should be sold to the Saudis for a bucket of golf balls. Fuckin' idiot.

    2020 Reds

    If there isn't any participation, I might invite all to join redreporter.com. It's a different board and a different approach, but there's more Reds chatter there too. There is also a lot of all kinds of chatter. If you are thin-skinned, buckle up. But if this board picks up, yeah ... this is...

    2020 Reds

    Iglesias will probably lose his job to Strop pretty soon, but that may depend on how the middle of the bullpen shakes out. Nate Jones might be a closer candidate though honestly, a closer now seems kind of stupid with the DH in the NL.

    If any of us are still on this board, now's the time to kick it in gear. The scrim games are yielding some very interesting results. I like this team, but it's flawed. Thankfully, we have .......

    The rebuild is / was a line of horse shit. What the Reds did this winter could have been done 3 years ago and why it wasn't speaks to the front office that got summarily booted out and replaced by people who give a damn about winning. The pitching they got last year should have been gotten 3...

    POLL Worst September Collapse of all time

    the 64 Phils are a no brainer for this. I can't even believe you don't have them on the list.

    NL Central thread

    There are references to the Redlegs as far back as the early 1900s and several such references to them in 1919. Reds don't mind if you call them that. Everything else is just the canned story from whoever decides to share it.

    If it weren't for 488-foot home runs that MLB scribes wet their undies watching over and over, and the things the Yankees do, this would be one of the more uninteresting baseball seasons since 1989. I suppose the last week or so will avail itself but honestly, this thing got warped out of shape...

    I don't get too warped either way. The game is dreadfully dull now, and depends on whether the guy in the booth can piss his pants when a reliever throws 110 mph and the hitter cranks it 499 feet off the bridge across the bay. When they actually fix the ball back to a real ball, I doubt Pete...

    They really aren't as competitive as we thought but most of that is due to poor base running, an inconsistent offense and a whole raft of players who aren't really better than 0-WAR. Losing Wood for 4 months cost them more than we realized.

    August 11, 1994

    Lots of history was made that year and lots of hearts were broken. The result essentially created the 2-tier level of baseball that figures to endure now forever. I don't know if the Expos could have won or if Gwynn could have hit .400 or if Williams could have broken the HR record or if the...

    I am in a forum with a lot of otherwise intelligent Reds fans who think they only have to win 62 percent of their games and make the playoffs. Being under .500 in Aug, in 4th place ... it's hard to change people's minds when they get an attiude. The Reds ARE NOT going to the playoffs. Pitt...

    Part of it connects to knowing how that CTA schedule runs. Dumping 30K into that at one time is a nightmare. You sort of figure that out after awhile and know when the hordes are swarming.

    POLL Total days suspended from Reds/Pirates brawl

    MLB as usual sends out conflicting reports on whether they are policing the game or just punishing players who act out of control. Kela threw his team under the bus by basically admitting he was being encouraged to throw at Dietrich, who hasn't had a solid base hit in 3 weeks. Garrett should be...

    Average? Meaning, competitive. It's no worse or better than any other division that doesn't have a tanking team in it. You win 58 percent of the time and you are a contender.

    The risk is low but it's keeping the game from improving. Teams keep recycling these dead-armed has-beens because the agents have the front offices by the nuts. Just. Stop. Signing. Them. Spend the money on young pitchers. Maybe Gallardo needs another chance. Zach Duke, anyone? I am all for...

    Reds may end up dumping Puig before he can walk as a FA, but an OBP that's under .300 isn't likely to appeal to anybody who needs a corner outfielder. Pirates are living in the mud right now, not that I mind ... but their pitching all went to the hospital in the same ambulance. Kimbrell makes...
