Tony found human fecal matter on his side of the bed....he took that as some sort of warning from Garcia and now he does whatever Leury wants. I don't even think Leury thinks he should be hitting 3rd. If anything this just puts more pressure on him to get out of his slump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad Dotson, host of The Riverfront Podcast, said the idea for the billboard started as a joke last summer. "Some time during the summer, someone said we ought to put up a billboard," Dotson said. "If Bob Castellini and the ownership group doesn’t try to improve the team, he should sell the team." Dotson said he grew upset, like many fans, when the Reds dismantled their roster following a playoff season in 2020 and a decent run in 2021. Sonny Gray, Jesse Winker, Eugenio Suarez and more were shipped off this offseason for prospects. “The frustration kind of boiled over a bit. We said you know what? Let’s throw a GoFundMe up there," Dotson said. "We designed a t-shirt, put it out there, did a GoFundMe. We said every dime of this we’ll put it into a billboard.” The group needed more than $4,000 to run the ad for one month. Dotson said 200 Reds fans mostly donated anywhere between $5-25 for the billboard.” “I want to divide the team from the ownership. This is a group of 200 hardcore fans of the Reds. They don’t hate the Reds. They’re mad at ownership. They love the team," Dotson said. "They’re going to watch the game tonight, opening night game, cheering for the Reds." The billboard is not the first time Reds fans have expressed their frustration. #SellTheTeamBob was trending for about a day after the Reds' fire sale. After the moves, team president Phil Castellini called for fans to trust the front office and come to games this season. https://www.wcpo.com/sports/baseball/reds/billboard-calls-for-cincinnati-reds-owner-to-selltheteam-as-mlb-season-starts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winning despite him is the common refrain. We would be praising McGuire or Burger for coming through, not the fermented fossil of TLR for pulling the right strings. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve is definitely plugged in. I believe it goes well beyond Leury, though he may be the most glaring issue. Vaughn's usage, or lack thereof, is certainly pissing Hahn off. I'll say this, if you were to ask me what a team that just had a blowup in the clubhouse before a game would look like on the field, it was most definitely that game 1 in Cleveland. I was literally watching that game and wondering to myself which player got caught fucking which other player's wife? It was THAT pronounced, imo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tray Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Why didn't the Manager pinch hit Grandal for McGuire or Burger ? Yes, of course, now that you know they didn't get a hit maybe Grandal would have. Maybe anybody would have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 5 errors (coulda been 6) and 10 runs given up and shortstop flicking off the fans in 2 innings. I woulda gone with the entire roster being badly hungover, but whatever. Totally out of character for those players, and it has now dragged on all week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 (edited) VV is a curious choice to get the beat of the team from. He obviously was a waste of $3 million. He is no better than anyone they could call up from AAA. His starts are basically surrenders unless the offense scores a crazy amount of runs. I have heard both TV and radio mention the short spring training hampered any changes they wanted to make with him, although they signed him knowing spring training would be short. If the Sox fail this year, and really it's only been a bad week, the failure occurred during the winter when for whatever reason, JR not wanting to spend more, RH and KW thinking all the heavy lifting was done, or crazily thinking La Russa was worth a ton of wins. We have known for Yeats some of these guys get hurt all the time. You were short a starter with Lynn and is bad knee healthy. That did not work. VV being successful was a pipedream. Tony winning you more games with his decisions tan costing you games was very debatable last year. To think that would improve is nuts. I still think this is a good team and will have a good season. But playing like the Twins did last season is a possibility. Nothing other than the speed in which it happened should surprise anyone. Eloy, Mocada, Robert, Pollack hurt. Lynn with a bad knee. VV a gas can. Those were all easy bets. Edited April 24, 2022 by Dick Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
