Go Reds and minor leaguers lol.

Glad we were acting like we had Cy Young as our available pitching trade piece, and shunned offers that were probably moreso in line with what would be expected.

So Cease now has a 4.61 ERA.

So is Touki our Ace next season?

If Cease gets injured before he can be traded...well, nobody can be surprised by anything at this point.

The odds of Lance Lynn getting below 200 pounds with LAD are roughly the same as a Lucas reunion...

This feels like rock bottom 

This organization is incompetent in every aspect possible. 

Hahn's going to say all the trade deadline talks got to the team...

Is the 25 man roster full or is there one more player to be called up or activated after trades?

David Wells and Lynn took off with theirs...have to go back to much cheaper Mark Prior towel drill.

Help me out here.  Can't remember....

I've never been a huge Cease fan. You can't have the amount of success that Cease did in 2022 consistently when you walk as many batters as he does. 

His true level of performance is closer to 2021 and 2023 than 2022 and offers in trade going forward and yesterday were probably based on that expectation. 

The offers will only get worse from here. 2022 was his career year, I doubt Cease gets anywhere close to that again. 

Also, if the Ks start going away then his value really craters. He was having a hard time striking hitters out in 2019-20.

Is death an option?

Where's our Morel?

I want so much, for Colas to succeed, but damn if he isn't hard to watch. I'm sure the organization has done fk all to help develop him, but still...

Those 19 runs scored the rest of the season starting to seem more and more realistic as the innings go by
