Deals seem that way at first but then you realize that it's the Reds you are talking about and they just simply do not do smart things.
Something is wrong with both of those guys and it will reveal itself sooner or later. This will end in failure. Book it.

I went to the 4th game of the home sweep a couple weeks ago. Cubs jumped out to the early big lead. Blah blah blah blah blah. 7th inning stretch comes. Take me out to the ball game is sung. Most of the ballpark: “ROOT, ROOT, ROOT for the CUBBIES!” Seven run bottom half by the Reds. Pin drop silence from Cubs fans. Glorious.

It was this game btw...
Those sons of bitches actually didn’t dissapoint. Plus, the Reds got 11 Ks so we got free LaRosa’s. Might as well never go to another Reds game for the rest of my life because there’s no way it could ever match this one.

Damn these fucking guys can actually hit and score. Somebody unfuck the pitching staff and the second half of the season would be interesting.

Joey Votto, Eugenio Suárez, Scooter Gennett to represent Cincinnati Reds as MLB All-Stars

CHICAGO – Before Sunday’s game against the Chicago Cubs, Reds third baseman Eugenio Suárez walked into the visiting manager’s office to meet Interim Manager Jim Riggleman and President of Baseball Operations Dick Williams.
When Suárez left the office, he couldn’t stop smiling.
For the first time, he was a Major League All-Star.
Suárez and first baseman Joey Votto were voted to the team from the players’ ballot while second baseman Scooter Gennett was one of the seven players chosen by the commissioner’s office.
Reactions: Reds get three All-Stars
For the first time since 2014, the Reds will have three players in the Major League Baseball All-Star Game.
“Right now, I feel so, so happy,” Suárez said. “I know my dream came true. I’ve always dreamed about the All-Star team, the All-Star Game, the All-Star players. Now I can say I’m an All-Star player. I feel so happy.”

Suárez missed 16 games on the disabled list in April with a fractured right thumb. He entered Sunday leading the National League in RBI (66) and on-base plus slugging percentage (.982).
He knew he had the numbers to be included in the All-Star Game, but his heart started racing when he heard the good news.
It was the first time Suárez and Gennett were picked for the All-Star team. Votto will be returning for the sixth time.
“I know my wife, my family and everybody in my hometown will be happy for me,” said Suárez, who signed a seven-year contract extension during Spring Training. “That makes me feel more happy. Now I get to tell my daughter I’m part of the All-Star team.”
All three of the Reds’ All-Stars learned of their selection when they separately met with Riggleman and Williams.
“Joey was really excited, really honored,” Riggleman said. “It was really great to see him with a big smile on his face. He's so low-key, but he was really proud and excited. When we told him Suárez and Gennett were on there, man, he just broke out in a huge smile.”
Suárez and Gennett both arrived from outside of the organization. Suárez was included in the Alfredo Simon trade with the Detroit Tigers in 2014.
The Reds claimed Gennett on waivers prior to the start of the 2017 season. In a little more than 15 months, Gennett transformed himself from a left-handed bat off the bench into an All-Star.
“I give a lot of credit to our scouts for identifying those guys,” Williams said of Suárez and Gennett. “But really most of the credit goes to the players themselves for continuing to improve their craft, and the coaches for all of the hours of work that’s put in.”
Gennett entered Sunday with a league-leading .329 batting average, smacking 14 homers and 58 RBI.
“I think that was the biggest thing was just getting the opportunity, and I would say I earned that opportunity,” Gennett said. “I fought my way into the lineup last year. Once I’ve been in there every day, the rest is kind of history in a sense. I think the true player in me came out and that’s been a lot of fun.”
Speaking to reporters a few minutes after learning of his All-Star Game selection, Votto admitted he was “a little bit shocked.”
Votto entered Sunday leading the National League with a .428 on-base percentage, ranking second with 68 walks. He’s hit eight homers and 44 RBI, adding 49 runs scored.
“It’s just exciting putting that uniform on and standing in line and representing the city and the team,” Votto said. “I’m very proud of that.”
With three players on the initial 34-man All-Star roster, Riggleman joked to Williams, “Why am I not winning more games with an infield like this?”
The three All-Stars are certainly a major reason why the Reds are playing their best stretch of baseball this season.
“It's really good to see that their accomplishments are appreciated, not just in Cincinnati, but throughout baseball,” Riggleman said. “As you talk to other coaches and managers, you hear comments from players, they really realize how good these guys are.”
