Cincinnati Reds (2025 is our year! Haha thats actually funny)

Two things I haven't loved about Francona but I'm also a fan watching from the outside:

The management of pitching and we don't run on teams this year. He moves pitchers sometimes at the weirdest times and sometimes leaves guys in for no apparent reason. Last season we ran with impunity on teams and you could tell it bothered opposing teams a lot.

My opinion he has slowed Elly down for some reason and his impact on games has suffered which makes the team suffer. On nights like tonight though it wouldnt matter much because pitching is still on the break from the bullpen standpoint and back end of the rotation.

What I meant was play Benson in the field and Hays DH not sit. But a package of one of those guys with Connor Joe and a prospect or two should garner the bat we need at a corner OF spot

Krall is going to have to blow someone to get them to take Joe but we have some legit trade chips.

OF bat and at least one back of bullpen arm are needed.
