Iโm sorry, a team who pitches Hunter Greene, Andrew Abbott, and Chase Burns every 3 days and has Sal Stewart and Elly De La Cruz hitting in the top of their order is not *that* far away. I refuse to believe it
Absolutely the most on brand thing for the #Reds to go from a top 5 pitching staff one year, to bottom 5 pitching staff the very next year with arguably better pieces across the board.
Itโs why I was bullish on this team, mostly.
Just sucks. Injuries piling, too, of course. Wouldnโt be a Reds season without a laundry list of big injuries.
Iโm tired. Tired of being mediocre. Tired of looking to the next season. Tired of excuses across the board.
I want unapologetic winners littered across the franchise and they havenโt had that in 30 years, longer than Iโve been alive.
Blame owners. Blame front office. Blame coaches. Blame players.
They all play a part in it. Itโs a losing franchise. Itโs what they do. They lose.
