Votto makes 4 outs every game and still 0 xbh In 55 AB

I was visiting my mom today. After the Pens game was over, she switched to the Reds and I saw they had just gotten a Billy homer and then a guy on first for Votto with no one out in a 3-1 game in the 8th. I was ready to drive back home, so I said that I'd leave after this half-inning was done with.

About 15 seconds later, I was getting my stuff together because he turned it from one on and nobody out to empty bases and two outs. By the time I was ready to go out the door, inning over. So far this year, Votto has been the perfect opposite of clutch.

You let your mom watch the Reds. You also hate your mom. 

Redswith their biggest lead of the season 

Reds up 9-0 and Joey finally gets an extra base hit....after 58 AB

Reds were awesome on offense and Scooter was gold glove esque on defense.

Bizarro world, Reds Win

Great outing by Castillo........numbers don't do it justice with those 4 ER late when he easily shoulda been replaced earlier

Don’t throw a shitty 0-2 fastball to a pitcher with bases loaded two outs in the 6th

Truth.

1 game win streak!   Hopefully the gates open for votto after that doubles  he seemed pretty excited! 

Every team should have a Front Row Amy

First time starting a season 2-10 since 1955. Yikes. Tough to imagine a scenario where Price keeps his job. 

Imo, should have been fired two years ago. 

Didn’t even make it a month. 

Price and pitching coach Mack Jenkins fired. 

Riggleman as the interim manager, a serious search to be conducted after the season. Who do you think they hire for 2019? John Farrell is a scout within the organization. I've also seen Larkin basically campaigning for the job.

Step 1 has been made.

I think if Boonel who doesn't habe much experience, does well in N.Y. that the redlegs maygive Larkin  a serious look.  Success gets copied...

It would likely make a lot of nostalgic fans happy and many who don't know much about baseball.  Many will hate it  it tolerate it because we like Barry.

Thought maybe after the first game in Mil they may come to life but to no avail 

I have a friend who is going to be celebrating extensively, since he's wanted Price gone for a LONG time, now. If they ship out Peraza too, he'd be ecstatic!

I wouldn’t be shocked if they throw a large amount of money at Larkin. Then again, I wouldn’t be shocked if they re-hire Dusty.

I dont think they will throw a lot of money around at any one to manage

They should go see if Girardi is interested. I thought he got unfairly fired by the yanks.

Doubt they will offer much though and imagine he may just stay on TV until a better situation comes around 

Think they are on their 4th 1 game winaming streak this year.

Can they keepit going 

Reds bats have come alive tonight. And Mahle has 11 strikeouts through 6. And there is another stat, but I can’t specify.

Joey and Scooter went back to back for their first HRs of the year in the 5th.
