@CharlieG__ Manifest it, Charlie.

Graham Ashcraft is up in the bullpen. Presumably, he’d pitch if the Reds tied the score, or took the lead for the save in the first game without Pagán.

@ryanhammer09 Pacers will be back next year to end their season, so yes.

They are currently the best team left, East is depleted, conf finals last year, prob on their way back this year, year 4 of the Brunson core… Feels like it HAS to be this year for the Knicks to get to a finals if this core will ever do it.

@bryce_spalding He fucking rocks. That was awesome to see.

Holy Tejay Antone. What an incredible story. Comeback Player of the Year locked up.

@Schultz975 These playoffs have been a constant reminder how much I miss the Pacers’ offense.

Sixers with one (1) point in the last six minutes. Woooof.

@bryce_spalding They were 20-11 and a week later I’m approaching full blown apathy. Only the Reds.

This isn’t a singular person issue either. There ain’t many, people playing winning baseball on the Reds side right now, period. As ugly a stretch of Reds baseball I’ve watched in a long while and that’s saying a lot. Staring down losing 7 of 8 games and combined score currently stands in those 8 games (56 to 24).

@yuggs513 Atrocious vibes.

Just not winning baseball at the moment

@CBoxSports God what a meatball of a pitch that was.

Ian Happ strikes again. 2-1 Cubs.

@RedsDaily4 You couldn't script more horrific contracts than their last three at 3B (I'm not including Geno because he was signed largely as a DH. Moose, Candy, Hayes is the stuff of absolute nightmares and when you're a small market team, you simply cannot miss like this.

If we showed anyone these numbers alongside a .404 OPS, nobody would say this player deserves to be in the lineup every day. Nobody. I do think the defense will improve over time and the OAA will look better by the end of the season, but right now, there’s simply no justification for the everyday playing time on a team that struggles so much offensively. I didn’t love the trade when it happened, but like a lot of fans, I talked myself into it. I wanted it to work. Now? This has a real chance to go down as one of the worst trades in franchise history.

@BurnHardLang @dotsonc Benson>Friedl

@TheHerrm @dotsonc Myers>Friedl

Matt McLain now 0 for his last 19, right? cool, cool

@RedsInFour Turns out the completely unsustainable start was indeed unsustainable.

@cgarber8 Praying it’s Ashcraft.

@bryce_spalding @joel_wisecup We have a 35 game sample of him being awful. There’s just too many holes right now. They needed McLain and Stephenson to at least be average hitters, they’ve both been atrocious. Offense is completely reliant on the long ball because this lineup can’t string hits together.

@joel_wisecup @TheHerrm He had a 130 wRC+ the last like 14 games coming into tonight.

So many plus counts. So little results. Taillon has been 2-0 or 3-1 on so many dudes. Infuriating to not capitalize.

@bryce_spalding Bump.

@bryce_spalding Offense is being propped up right now by Elly and two non-roster invites. The fundamental issues remain. There’s simply not enough offensive talent on this roster.

@RedsFan_Brandon Normalize not auto-starting him against RHP.

TJ Friedl hasn’t walked since April 12th - a span of 70 plate appearances. #Reds

@yuggs513 It’s May 5th and our leadoff man has a sub .600 OPS and can’t hit a middle middle 87mph cutter.

Taillon is throwing meatballs, pounce on the second time

LOL. 🤦‍♂️

@RedsInFour Candelario, Pagan, Hayes is a pink slip in human form.

We’re talking like $50 million on this roster doing contributing negative things towards winning baseball games. You can’t do that with this franchise or with this payroll.

I think Nick Krall gets fired if the Reds miss the playoffs this year.

@yuggs513 Yeah they're fucked. They're not good enough to blow games like that and the 1-run magic has seemingly run out.

That’s a soul crusher. Absolute soul crusher
