Repost and reply with #CFB27 for a chance to win a DLX Code.
Bro. After 13 STRAIGHT years of this bullshit you need to realize you’re pissin into the wind.
It will not change.
The Reds baseball season is mid February to early to mid May.
Thats it. This season was over weeks ago.
I feel bad for you with all these tweets. Go watch some soccer.
Get some preseason football magazines. Go on a summer trip.
Anything but deal with this nonsense on a daily basis.
It’s over. Time to move on.
As frustrating as this team is, we have one SUPERSTAR🌟
Chase Burns this season:
9-1
2.00 ERA
1.05 WHIP
10.72 K/9
In his 15 appearances he has given up more than 2 runs only ONCE this season🔥
I know I have said this in a roundabout way nearly 1000 times at this point but I genuinely cannot believe just how poorly the Reds have mismanaged this “young core.”
In 2023 the Reds “young core” looked something like: Greene, Lodolo, Abbott, Elly, McLain, Steer, Benson, CES, Marte, Stephenson, India.
For the next month we are going to be talking about trading Lodolo/Stephenson and if/when they do that it will pretty much mark the end of that era of young core.
4 of those 11 will be gone (India, Stephenson, Lodolo, CES). 2 of those guys stink (McLain/Benson). 1 guy we have no clue on (Marte) and then 4 guys who you feel like you have a pretty good grasp on what they are ranging from solid to star (Elly, Hunter, Steer, Abbott).
I just can’t help but sit and think how fucking passive the Reds were toward this group. They didn’t take a swing to extend any of them besides 1, they didn’t try to flip any of them for a big name, they didn’t spend big money to supplement them.
They just gave out a bunch of mid tier contracts to average veterans to come in guide this group through. No real risk. Never once putting your chips to the center. Just 10 million dollars here. 15 million dollars there, and a bunch of guys you can cut bait with 2 years later.
The gross part is? Those guys mostly panned out! 11 players. You have clear hits on Elly, Hunter, Abbott, Lodolo. You have 2 solid guys in Stephenson and Steer. You have up and down from Marte. And 4 floppish guys (to their own degree) in McLain, Benson, CES, India. That’s a pretty good hit rate! And in the other hits you have had (Burns, Friedl, Stewart) and you are left wondering what the fuck?
I don’t even know what I’m getting at. I’m just laying in bed wondering to myself why they just sat back and did NOTHING for years? Zero bold moves in 3 years with this group! And we sit through a morgue of a summer with another sell off impending.
This is a colossal failure. One that can be will remembered mostly by a death of a thousand failed small moves, but will remember it most by their unwillingness to be bold.
Nick Krall has chased “defense” for three years. Apple TV just flashed up a lovely graphic of his team leading MLB in errors in June. His catchers can’t throw out a single base runner. Just an awful franchise.
