It's going to be a mighty long season for them.
They've had a lead in their last two games going intot he late innings with the starting pitcher still in. They go to the bullpen and give up leads and eventually victories! UUGGHH!

I have a bad feeling about this year. I just don't think they have what it takes to win this division.

Just too many holes in the lineup, offensively.

How long before Votto goes on the DL?

And as MH pointed out, if this first week is any indication of how our relief pitching will be this year, it is gonna be a very long season.

And why is Kevin Gregg still on the team is beyond me. Already, I'm not too sure of Mgr. Brian Price. He looks as stubborn as Dusty Baker. Leaves pitchers in way too long and then it's too late for our anemic lineup to make a come back. I've said this many times and going to say it again that most MLB Managers are just stupid.

I don't understand why a starter gets taken out after pitching seven great innings. Why can't they go one more inning and then bring in Chapman? We've had some great games out of starters who ended up with a no-decision. We've got terrible relief pitching - he should be trying to get more out of the starters.

The complete game is almost extinct in baseball.

I have a feeling the Reds are gonna get swept this weekend in St. Louis.

I couldn't agree with you more Paul. Yes, we will probably lose again Sunday night on national TV.
