Trying to avoid being discouraged about the Reds future under this ownership?

Then don’t think too hard about them patting themselves on the back for trading the #37 draft pick in part to save the $2.7 million.

Small ambition, not small market. Small vision, not small market.

[Cory @CBassXU]

I can't believe they still let Krall speak publicly.

[Gingersaurus Rex @HeyGingersaurus]

Interesting nugget here on the #Reds payroll:

“We’ve got a little bit, not a ton," Krall said. "We’re just kind of working through that now. Trading the Draft pick saved us some money there as well, instead of trading the prospect and picking the player, which we could help put into the Major League payroll as well.”

Luckily I'm already dead inside. This team stinks.

Ohio State has not beaten Michigan in football since this dunk, seriously

It's terrible for the conference but probably worth the Shaheen content

Can't think of any reason for Hall fans to be worried...

[Jaden Daly @DalyDoseOfHoops]

Sha on a potential message to the fans: “Already with that question? I don’t think that’s a good question right now. We’re three games in, why would the fan base be worried right now?” #shbb #HALLin

Good luck to our Musketeers in the @nba this season!

War crime

Time/TV for the Crosstown Shootout between Xavier and Cincinnati:

December 14th @ 2PM on ESPN+

Love that essentially every front office/ownership group thinks their fans are dumb enough to not see that "sustainable" is entirely interchangeable with "cheap" when it comes to building an MLB roster

[Marquee Sports Network @WatchMarquee]

"We haven't truly gotten into our offseason planning mode yet ... The goal is to build something that's sustainable." - Jed Hoyer

[Steve Mancuso @spmancuso]

The Reds have 6 players who produced > 2 fWAR: Elly (6.5), Stephenson (3.0), India (2.6), Greene (3.7), Martinez (3.2) Lodolo (2.1).

None were acquired in the rebuild. All were conventional draftees or free agents. 5 of the 6 were acquired under Dick Williams, not Nick Krall.

[Cory @CBassXU]

@spmancuso But then how will Krall and ownership know that they are properly positioned to be "philosophically aligned" for 3-4 years before ultimately using them as a scapegoat?

[Cory @CBassXU]

Well at least they are correctly setting the off-season expectations early

[Charlie Goldsmith @CharlieG__]

Nick Krall on the offseason: “We’ll have to go through the offseason and see what that looks like. We’re always going to be a small market club. That’s not going to change. We’re going to bring younger players up here, draft and develop and bring those players up.”

“We just need to get better across the board.”

[Cory @CBassXU]

So whose philosophies changed in the year since they signed Bell to an extension?

[Charlie Goldsmith @CharlieG__]

Nick Krall: There were philosophical differences. I'll keep those internal.

[Cory @CBassXU]

David Bell stinks but this obviously solves close to nothing.

The Reds will make another unimaginative hire who already has ties to the organization/front office and will bring no added value or fresh ideas.

[Cory @CBassXU]

The entire list is hilarious but it's absolutely crazy the amount of infielders that the Reds have played more than a handful of games in the outfield

[Steven Ortlieb @StevenOrtlieb]

Here’s every #Reds outfielder in the last 10 seasons sorted by games played.

Aside from a couple outliers, it feels like they’ve had nothing but fourth outfielders for a decade now

[Cory @CBassXU]

@GoettaT When you think about it, they really picked up like 8 expected losses this weekend instead of just the 3 actual losses

[Cory @CBassXU]

Hope the Reds keep their run differential in mind and scrape a few across tonight
