@bryancooke1@Jennife45487237@Reds They literally haven’t advanced in postseason in 31+ years, every smart outlet projected 77 wins this year. They’ll accomplish nothing forever and always 😂
@ToddFather100@Jennife45487237@Reds half game out of being tied for the top of the division.
There's plenty of time to get the bats going. At least wait to see if drop down in the division to get pissed. Enjoy when your team is winning.
@ToddFather100@Jennife45487237@Reds They made the post season last yea. They've started this year with a good record at the top of the division fight. They can't go back 5 years and win.
I don't get being pissed about where they are right now. Get pissed when they don't have a successful road trip and aren't a
@Jennife45487237@Reds Seriously! I hope the players never look at this team's social media.
They're tied for first in the division and had well over a .500 road trip.
Unless this team goes undefeated the vast majority of fans online will hate them.
@rta3569@RedsDaily4 to profit, that's their only goal. They don't give two shits about winning anything. If winning within their laughable budget happens, then so be it.- that's their mindset.
@RedsDaily4 Okay, what IS the Reds' goal? They haven't won a playoff series in 31 years and have done nothing to NOT be .500. They promote bobbleheads and concerts over winning baseball, their leadoff hitter sucks, their team BA is <.190. What IS their goal?
While it’s super frustrating to lose to the Pirates so often, I probably would have guessed a 3-3 start to the season.
I thought they would have went 1-2 vs Boston and 2-1 against the Pirates.
I know .500 ball isn’t the goal. But it’s not the end of the world.
Lots of baseball left to play.
