really shouldve won this one. sigh
The Reds are now 3-20 in their last 23 rubber match games.
Little disappointed in the fact that a team lead by one of the best managers of all time has such little fight in them
Man I miss the team that would fight and claw till the very end no matter how far behind they were. This team simply doesn’t have that right now.
Losing record at home now
Which one of y’all told them they were over .500?
UGH
Find yourself someone who loves you as much as the Reds love staying close to .500
I just read on Twitter that the Reds have played the second fewest games against teams over .500 in all of MLB so far this season. And they are 18-17. I fear things are about to get ugly. There are a couple series vs the White Sox and Pirates coming up in May, but other than that the schedule is about to get a lot tougher.
Someone forgot to tell our guys that “get away game” performances aren’t meant for home teams

I’m so tired of this. Same old story for what the last 20 years? Idek. Awful hitting (no hitting) unless we’re facing a bad pitcher who doesn’t no hit us through 5. Can’t come from behind in any game. I’m dooming
20% into the season, hope they prove me wrong but I think we’re looking at a .500 club the rest of the way.
Crazy how Elly’s home run getting overturned to a foul (rightfully so) changed the outcome of this game.
Told myself Monday this was gonna be the week when they turned the corner. And they pissed down their leg. This team is so feast or famine it’s insane.
They only lost because they had a chance to start the game at 4:20 and didn’t. You know it’s true.
You bums!
*You can’t lose a home series against the Nationals*
*You can’t lose a home series against the Nationals*

Someone tell the boys they have to win games to make the playoffs
You never want to declare victory/defeat over anything involving a season that lasts six months during summer.
The Reds are an interesting team to follow, but they haven’t accomplished anything at all yet, and it’ll likely take the whole season to decide if this year’s team is a success.
