Don’t blame me for what’s playing on the jukebox

@ChaffeeFF More fans should choose a new team.

Why tie yourself to something for life because you thought it was neat when you were 6 years old? No other important life choices are made in that manner

@LanceMcAlister I stopped going to Reds games when they refused to take my cash, made me leave the stadium to smoke, charged me 17$ for a beer, and then got their asses kicked 12-0, all in one day. Explain to me how that was a fun day, Lance.

@LanceMcAlister It does seem that slowly but surely, some fans realize they’re being used as suckers to help ownership secure a modest profit annually.

The bigger cost, of course, are the young kids who never become Reds fans in the first place because it’s a loser franchise

@Nati_Sports @CBoxTrace Someone should plop this graphic on a red shirt and sell it

[#SellTheTeam @BarflyBill]

@reeceisgoat @LanceMcAlister Well, at least the Pirates can say Callihan had a 2-homer night that directly led to a win over LA.

Can the Reds say Kyle Nicolas got them a single win at any point in his sterling Reds tenure? Or contributed in any relevant form at all?

Of course not.

@LanceMcAlister @MichaelDK1968 The ownership has been too lazy to conduct a legitimate candidate search for the top baseball exec role since Feb 2006 when they hired Wayne Krivsky. Since then:

1. Friend from STL.
2. Family member of owners.
3. Failed-upward internal promotion of yes-man.

@char_cliff @WLWT The pitch was a center-cut cement mixer

[#SellTheTeam @BarflyBill]

@Nati_Sports @Riley38398450 The trade for Griffey Jr. was the unofficial beginning of the franchise’s descent into loserdom

[#SellTheTeam @BarflyBill]

@bryce_spalding If the Padres weren’t pathetic at the plate, the bullpen would’ve given it away last night, too

[#SellTheTeam @BarflyBill]

@U_arctos The building they’re complaining about holds absolutely zero significance to the community. They may as well replace it with something better

[#SellTheTeam @BarflyBill]

@stevestone It was a great listen for anyone who enjoys the game’s history. Thank you to Bob and you, along with the folks doing the graphics, the research, the video archive, etc.

And like Hawk always said “Give ‘em a finish.”

We got a finish last night.

[#SellTheTeam @BarflyBill]

@bryce_spalding Most of these were made possible by the Padres having a wretched, incompetent offense, with half a lineup of guys who have no business in the big leagues. I wouldn’t make much more of it than that

[#SellTheTeam @BarflyBill]

@Reds @Skyline_Chili What an offensively inept pillowfight

[#SellTheTeam @BarflyBill]

@tonycamp1 @bryce_spalding Jonathan India and Ken Griffey Jr. resemble that remark

[#SellTheTeam @BarflyBill]

@bryancooke1 @mattwhite85 Calling up Garrett Hampson is the last hope

[#SellTheTeam @BarflyBill]

@mattwhite85 I didn’t say he is.

The reality the Reds face is his arb years (2029-31) will be in the middle of a massive rebuild since Elly, Greene, Abbott, Lodolo, Steer, Bleday will all be gone by then.

I’d use him to keep stockpiling assets to build a legit threat coming out of that

[#SellTheTeam @BarflyBill]

@Nati_Sports He’ll add Bernie Brewer. Can’t have too many mascots!

[#SellTheTeam @BarflyBill]

@mattwhite85 Way better than paying Bumcada $14M a year (negotiated pre-COVID inflation) when he’d rather be a music star

[#SellTheTeam @BarflyBill]

@mattwhite85 Smart move by Milwaukee as long as the kid loves the game. $30M over 7-8 years is pocket change in today’s MLB

[#SellTheTeam @BarflyBill]

@LanceMcAlister Imagine what Elly De La Cruz must be thinking as he watches this cornucopia of charlatans totally squander the early wins he, Sal and Burns harvested
