It is what it is
The Reds have done better in the plate suicide department, but they still aren't the sharpest (baseball IQ) pencils in the MLB box.
I'm not sure if the Reds stupidity really causes so many failures, or if their lack of talent just makes them look stupid. Other teams poorer play often makes your team look better/smarter than they really are, and vice-versa I suppose. Lately, I haven't seen too many teams worse than our Reds. Amazingly, losing all that pitching must have adversely affected the offense- (wink) because it's the hitters that can't hit, more than pitching, that is killing the Reds, IMO.
Dusty once said Reds hitters didnt cooperate...but they didnt get bunt or steal signals either, so at some point do managers just stop trying ? The ones that get fired do, for sure...but they ALL get fired, don't they ?
