They quickly blew their chances last week of catching the Cardinals. They had to win 2 out of 3 over the weekend to prevent going to Pittsburgh, so instead they win zero. They choked.

He's horrible and needs to be gone from this franchise.

Azubuike24;1511129 wrote:The mistake Zack made was not blocking the ball. It's clearly tough to pick that clean, but he allowed the guy to get to 3rd.

The Phillips error was also a killer. It's easy to say these plays don't matter, but people underestimate how different a game would be at 4-2 late instead of 6-2.

I'm not trying to be a dick but compare them to a team like Detroit who have 7 everyday guys that hit over .270 and 5 over .300, and 4 starting pitchers who have won 62 games combined. Look at the Dodgers lineup and pitching staff, look at the Cardinals, or the Braves or the Red Sox. No way can you tell me Cincy is legitimately better than those teams

Asked if there was any question about Baker returning, Jocketty said: “I don’t think so,” Jocketty said. “He’s signed for another year.”

Looks to me like they have more than enough where they should be able to win a playoff series. Apparently you don't remember last year when they should of swept the Giants, you know, the same team that swept your Tigers.

Classyposter58;1511266 wrote:Oh I know they have more than enough and I'm not trolling. But at the same time they don't have dominant talent where they should easily be in the NLCS. No way would I say this team should beat the Dodgers or Cardinals in a series, they could but definitely an underdog. Just like Detroit the two previous years, in 2011 they weren't as good as Texas, last year they tried to win a WS with a career minor leaguer in Berry hitting 2nd lol. Bottom line is though I don't think anyone last night beats Pittsburgh in that stadium
