    They act like they think they’ve already made the playoffs and they’re going thru the motions.

    Money quote from a 2013 article chronicling the end of Dusty Baker's tenure with the Reds:

    "It wasn't just that the Reds ended the year on a six-game losing streak. It was that they looked disinterested doing it. The best a manager can do is set a tone. Baker's tone this year didn't work."

    Sound familiar?

    The word is unacceptable. Getting no hit through 5 innings against a bad pitcher when you're trying to win a division is unacceptable.

    Having trouble hitting against a pitcher with a near 5.50 era.

    Yep, sounds about right.

    Wacha is the anti-Odorizzi when it comes to being taken out of the game…

    Then, as the Reds Astros drifted, then nose-dived late in the year, Baker insisted there was no need for urgency.

    :D

    Man, they scored two runs before the game even began and we're getting no-hit again. Trying times.

    Thank you Alex. At least they won't get shut out or no hit.

    Sure seems like a big magic number at only 2. Feels like it will take Seattle losing 2 more to clinch. Surely hope I am wrong and we can at least win 2 of these 6 so we can clinch on our terms

    Better than 50/50 they don't know why this is happening either.

    I think this team really feeds off of what Altuve does at the plate. It’s a lot harder when Altuve is MIA.

    to the relievers, QUIT WALKING BATTERS!
