Nick Krall sucks at being a MLB GM/President/FO Head

[LanceMcAlister @LanceMcAlister]

And Nick insisted on trading for a $40M+ glove for 3rd.

[Ball Knower @BallKnowerPITT]

@everythingreds1 @cincyredsball1 You don't think he's better than Lyon Fucking Richardson? 😂

[Ball Knower @BallKnowerPITT]

@PhilaNatiFan @CeeReds @Jeremy_Zilber @cincyredsball1 🤣🤣🤣

[Ball Knower @BallKnowerPITT]

@RedsInFour Last beacon of hope for the Castillo trade to not be an absolute fleece job against the Reds 😂

[Ball Knower @BallKnowerPITT]

He's a nerd who probably took his own mother to his senior Prom

[Nati Sports @Nati_Sports]

@LanceMcAlister What else do you expect from someone paying Mike Moustakas, Jeimer Candelario $64m gtd & got his way into baseball being a batboy…

Totally unqualified. Has been. Will always be. Nothing about this organization has taken a step forward with him at the helm.

[Ball Knower @BallKnowerPITT]

I'm confident that Nick Krall is okay with letting it die on the vine and just trying again next time there's a baseball season

[Dugs @yuggs513]

Everyday the Reds spend not trading for a relief pitcher(s) is a complete waste.

The Reds are not going to be sellers.

1. Their record isn’t going to be bad enough (unless Elly misses significant time) to demand to be sellers.

2. They don’t really have anyone to sell? Who you are looking at? Lowe, Suarez(?), and Stephenson? Even if you do buy relievers you can sell those guys, none of which would bring a return worth while.

They need to just put the chips in and be buyers NOW. You know you are getting Hunter Greene back in a month. You know Pagan is going to come back at some point, and you *hope* he returns to serviceable. Go keep your season afloat NOW.

You are getting career years from from Elly De La Cruz, JJ Bleday, and Chase Burns for less than 3 million dollars combined. YOU DID IT! You built (albeit very unorthodox) a solid team on a budget! Why would you let it die on the vine on the back of a broke Tony Santillan, Yunior Marte, Lyon Richardson, and Zach Maxwell? That would be mal practice.

[Ball Knower @BallKnowerPITT]

@pairodoxx @spmancuso The argument isn't being made that he shouldn't have been traded. The argument is the return netted us nothing

[Ball Knower @BallKnowerPITT]

@CBoxSports Any stat cast on his jump here?

[Ball Knower @BallKnowerPITT]

@everythingreds1 @tyler_pinter @RedsIntel @RedsInFour He has to be. You don't want his arm cooked after his third season. You have to do what's best for his career because longer it is what's best for the Reds.

[Ball Knower @BallKnowerPITT]

@RedsFan_Brandon I think he's going to be a fun one

[Ball Knower @BallKnowerPITT]

I've been a staunch McLain defender.....i can't anymore. Not with Arroyo killing in AAA and looking to be the piece that saves the Castillo trade.

[Ball Knower @BallKnowerPITT]

@Nati_Sports 😂😂😂😂. And yet people will defend him

[Ball Knower @BallKnowerPITT]

I can probably count on one hand the amount of runners Reds catchers have thrown out the last two seasons. My God it's just easy money.

[Ball Knower @BallKnowerPITT]

Can our FO just be guys we poached from Tampa please?

[Podcast Doesn't Exist @PodcastDoesnt]

The Tampa Bay Rays' newest analytical strategy is breaking Baseball again

[Ball Knower @BallKnowerPITT]

@metssexual44 @Clay_sno But it is. Even when he's at his offensive peak, he's a bad offensive player at a position that is the 5 or 6th most important defensive position at best. Just simply not worth the trade off.

[Ball Knower @BallKnowerPITT]

I'm so goddamn tired of this rhetoric. He's no more handcuffed than the teams with smaller budgets and win much more consistently

[reds2026champs @reds2026champs]

@RedsFan_Brandon Krall does fine Ferguson, Burke,are tough. Mey,Maxwell,Phillips , Antone
Need to step up. Krall is handcuffed

[Ball Knower @BallKnowerPITT]

@metssexual44 @Clay_sno Still a bit of blue in the expected stuff on Savant. He's just a bad offensive player that needs to play elite defense to have any value and that offense is so bad the defense can't carry it right now. He's a negative WAR player as of today.

[Ball Knower @BallKnowerPITT]

When the pure analytics crowd gets salty..... entertainment. 😂

[Ball Knower @BallKnowerPITT]

@metssexual44 @Clay_sno Again he's not pulling balls. Balls pulled travel further on average. I didn't say he didn't hit the ball hard. I'm saying he's doing as little as anyone can with balls that are barreled up.

[Ball Knower @BallKnowerPITT]

@Clay_sno I get more and more pissed about this FO moving Collier when his prospect stock was at its height. So frustrating.
