Cincinnati Reds/Metallica | Sometimes the traffic light will be red and you’ll have to stop! | I’m here for all bat flips!!! #AutismDad

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.

@ENQSports NOW is a good time?

[Roger Fletcher @rfletcher247]

At least they’re consistent with finding different ways to lose. 👎🏼

@ThatSchoolcraft I’m sorry

[Roger Fletcher @rfletcher247]

@TeamKaptain08 @Enquirer Only the Reds could get this to happen.

If he didn’t go out this way he needs to disappear and lie about that. No way to top this

@GetOnTap Celebrating 250 years early!

What a time to be alive!

For the first time since April 14th, the NL Central has a team under .500.

The Cincinnati Reds have fallen to 31-32 on the season after their loss to the Cardinals today

Take it all in, West Virginia 💛

For the first time ever, those country roads lead straight to Omaha‼️

Elly De La Cruz made his big league debut three years ago tonight.

That day - and the walkoff win that night over the Dodgers - felt significant. Elly's debut and what appeared to be a nice stockpile of young players made it seem like years of waiting for the Reds contend were finally going to payoff. Maybe not immediately, but sometime in the not-so distant future. Certainly by the middle of the decade.

Since then, the Reds are 246-243. A winning percentage of .503. The Reds don't seem dramatically better than they did 489 games ago. The familiar early-summer themes of "not sure if they're buyers or sellers" have become an annual thing. The number of foundational pieces and truly established players remains startingly small.

When the Reds chose to be really bad in 2022, there was lots of chatter from the front office about the desire to eliminate peaks and valleys moving forward.

It seems as if that mission has been accomplished.

[Roger Fletcher @rfletcher247]

Honestly deserve to be there.

[Chatterbox Sports @CBoxSports]

The Cincinnati Reds have dipped below .500 for the first time since opening day.

[Roger Fletcher @rfletcher247]

@_WhoDeyRay They’re usually way out of it by the break. This season seems to be trending that same way.

[Roger Fletcher @rfletcher247]

Lost another series. I honestly don’t see how their mediocre record is as good as it is. #Reds

[Roger Fletcher @rfletcher247]

The downward spiral continues……..👎🏼

[Roger Fletcher @rfletcher247]

Welcome to The Cincinnati Reds! The team where players can go to just tread water.

[Roger Fletcher @rfletcher247]

@DJKelley70 @CBoxSports They’re just embarrassing to watch.
