Cincinnati Reds

They did what? Wow

Red Leprechaun Irish Pub, located at 20 W. Freedom Way at The Banks, is showing the Sept. 11, 1985, Reds-Padres game – also known as the night Rose broke Ty Cobb’s hit record – in full Friday from 7-9 p.m. It will also sell Miller Lite at its 1985 price of $1.75.

And thus it ends. Like usual, much work to be done in the off season.

Maybe the FO will put in more than a half ass effort.

As noted the other day on the digital pages here at Redleg Nation – Bob Castellini and his ownership group bought the team prior to the 2006 season. We’re now 19 seasons in to their ownership. The Reds have finished better than 3rd place two times.

Lately, the team’s front office has really gone full into the “we’re a small market” line of public talk whenever questioned about why they don’t win more, try more, add more talent via trades or free agency, etc. Look around the National League Central. Finished doing that? How many of the five teams in it are “large market” clubs? The answer is one. The Chicago Cubs. And yet they are not the team that’s been running through the division with 1st place finishes year after year after year.

Reds release manager David Bell 1 year after a 3 year contract extension, and 1 week before the end of the season.

We knew it was coming but it still hurts.

So next year WS right? Right?

Thoughts?

I guess the premise is our stacked infield will be traded off or shed for salary reasons thus needing a 3B.

Dominant pitching again. Where was this all year?

Dominant.

To catch up, after dropping two against the Mets the Reds won 3-1 on Sunday and then this game was yesterday.

I think it was 10-0 after 3. Good game.
