Jack Brannigan has arrived at PNC Park! 🏴‍☠️

[Reds in Four @RedsInFour]

On the season, Garcia is posting:

34.2 IP
37.4 K% / 8.6 BB% / 15.8 SwStr%
3.12 ERA / 3.26 FIP / 3.43 xERA

I have no clue how he hasn't cracked the big leagues yet. There's no one in Louisville even touching these numbers either that doesn't have a double digit walk rate.

GEM OF A WIN IN EMERALD CITY!

[Chatterbox Sports @CBoxSports]

The Reds have blown a lead in each of their last 6 losses.

Opening Statement. 🇺🇸

[U.S. Soccer Men's National Team @USMNT]

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 32 YEARS, IT IS MATCHDAY ON HOME SOIL FOR THE U.S. MEN'S NATIONAL TEAM! 🇺🇸

Per FanGraphs, a "meltdown" is when a reliever's win probability added is -0.06 or worse in a game (i.e., they lowered their team's win probability by 6% or more).

The Reds' bullpen now has 35 meltdowns since May 1, by far the most in baseball. Tigers are the next closest at 27.

[Bryce Spalding @bryce_spalding]

11th bullpen loss since May 1st.

11th blown lead in 36 games

Reds are 12-24 in those 36 games. ELEVEN OF THEM are from that bullpen. Unbelievable. Season altering levels of bad.

4th straight series loss after what seemed like it could’ve been a nice comeback series win. Ugh.

[Reds in Four @RedsInFour]

#Reds Total 2026 Cash

Elly, Sal, Burns, Bleday, Abbott, Lowe, Dunn, Lowder
$7.7M for 9.7 fWAR

Spencer Steer
$4.0M for 1.1 fWAR

Rest of MLB Cash (non-MiLB/Signing Bonus)
$117.84M for -4.4 fWAR

Not ideal.

[Bryce Spalding @bryce_spalding]

This will be a circulating narrative that I strongly disagree with.

Elly had been dealing with a groin injury last year, not hamstring (what he came out with today).

He scored from 1st, literally today. He looked great today. Not everything has to be blamed on someone. It sucks he’s hurt. Hope it’s best case scenario and move on. No denying how big of a loss it’d be. Guys gotta step up while he’s out.

[Bryce Spalding @bryce_spalding]

7th blown lead this month, btw.

Season altering shit happening from this dumpster fire of a bullpen.

[Kevin @kfrazier47]

@vancemeek @bryce_spalding You were saying?

[Bryce Spalding @bryce_spalding]

Bad loss after bad loss compounding.

4-13 this month.

6th blown lead in 17 games this month. An amazing April, followed by a disastrous May. The fight of the offense continues to be for naught, because the pen absolutely sucks. Not a single reliable arm there.

Back to .500 where they’re most comfortable. Another 77-82 win season incoming.

[Bryce Spalding @bryce_spalding]

#Reds are 24-23 total:

Offensive Ranks overall:

2nd in barrel%
5th in HRs
5th in xwOBA
10th in SBs
15th in runs
15th in OPS
21st in wRC+

Since April 13th (31 games, 15-16 record)

2nd in barrel%
3rd in HRs
3rd in xwOBA
6th in OPS
9th in runs
11th in SBs
11th in wRC+

So the Reds offense has undoubtably been *good* for the large chunk of the year, the issue? The Reds have a 5.25 TEAM ERA since 4/13. The 2nd highest in MLB.

[ATBBTTR @ATBBTTR]

It’s wild how the Reds’ best position group coming into the season completely deteriorated before Memorial Day

[Bryce Spalding @bryce_spalding]

What a pathetic excuse of a bullpen and it’s going to ruin what could be a fun season.

[Reds in Four @RedsInFour]

Deeply, deeply unserious Major League bullpen.

[Reds in Four @RedsInFour]

It can’t be this hard to find relievers with major league caliber command.
