This is probably the most checked out I've been with the Reds in quite some time, unfortunately.
I didn't even realize the draft was this weekend until like 10 min ago and that is one of my favorite things to follow.
Just stinks. Their team is bad. They've gone backwards as an organization in lot of important qualities. Their system is really bad outside of like 4 guys. Their front office is one of the worst in MLB. Their player dev is bad. Their MLB coaching staff is bad.
Mike Sirota extends his on-base streak to 68 games with a long ball!
The @Dodgers' No. 2 prospect (MLB No. 11) swats his 14th homer of the season, his seventh with the Double-A @TulsaDrillers:
The Reds gave up a player who is quickly becoming one of the best prospects in baseball.
Mike Sirota, who Cincinnati traded to the Dodgers in the Gavin Lux deal last offseason, has climbed to No. 12 on Baseball America’s updated Top 100 Prospects list.
The Reds traded Gavin Lux for Brock Burke in the offseason.
Making bad moves around Elly, not winning with him, future doesn’t look promising. Might as well get a haul as much as I love Elly. It’s not that crazy
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.
It’s why I was bullish on this team, mostly.
Just sucks. Injuries piling, too, of course. Wouldn’t be a Reds season without a laundry list of big injuries.
I’m 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 haven’t had that in 30 years, longer than I’ve been alive.
Blame owners. Blame front office. Blame coaches. Blame players.
They all play a part in it. It’s a losing franchise. It’s what they do. They lose.
No Elly
Burns sick
No Emilio
No Pierce
No Graham
No Hunter Greene
No Rhett Lowder
No Brandon Williamson
TJ Friedl still up over Noelvi
...the list goes on.
Elly says that you’ve got to be smart and let the injury heal.
He told Arroyo that he should have already been up. He says Arroyo can do it all and reminds Elly of himself.
