It’s just a name for “I don’t feel well and we can call someone up for a couple days”

The way he's hitting, you should be wishing it's a permanent thing.

Reds play a double header Saturday against Pirates. Two losses at home in one day. Sounds right up their alley. 

If I’m Votto after what happened in the off-season i don’t blame him if he says f it and coasts and collects a paycheck it’s what ownership is doing. Dude gave his career for a joke of a franchise. 

Yeah it’d be interesting to know what’s going through Votto’s head. On one hand, he can wipe away his tears with plenty of $100 bills. But year 16 in the league, four playoff appearances, no playoff series wins. 

Am I looking at that correctly? 16 seasons, only two playoff games won (2012 where they won the first games vs Giants then lost the following three which still haunts me today) Swept by the Phillies in 2010, lost wild card game in 2013, swept by Braves in 2020.

He’s been adequately compensated

And he was not good in those playoff games.

Justin is going to come in here and ban us soon for the Votto slander.

Holy fuck put this team out of its misery already. Can the season be done now

3-21?!?!? So bad.

Even the Pirates might be in line for a series sweep this weekend. 

Lol

Just throw straight fastballs, don’t pitch

That pitching staff is just over-the-top bad. Getting to the point where giving up less than 10 runs in a game probably feels like a moral victory. I was randomly checking in from time to time while working. The first time I looked at the score, it was 3-0 Reds. Didn't feel like it was much longer and I looked again and it was 3-6. With all that done in two innings.

I have never had a team make me this sad, and I'm a Jaguars fan

Echoed as a Jets fan. 

Reds pitchers: 166 runs allowed

Reds hitters: 162 hits

Since the founding of the NL in 1876, no team had ever allowed more runs than the number of hits by their batters through more than 22 games before this team. (h/t to @Juice2uc for the heads up)
