Definitely why I took the Live bet at +2.5 when Burns left the mound. It was written in the stars they wouldn't hold that 3 run lead

First ever series win in Seattle? Lmao
Watch these dipshits go on a run just to fall a couple games short. That would be the Reds way.

They might have some dead cat bounce in them, but not a "run".
There just isn't enough talent.
They have about 2 weeks to sell the pending free agents

I wish they'd hurry up and do it so i know which players to pick up on the fantasy side because they'll be all world the rest if the season.
Then I can basically forget the rest.

I mean who knows if they’ll do it but you have to trade Geno and Stephenson if you get any kind of offer at all.
Singer has been better, teams always need pitching.
Johnson, Ferguson and Burke all can go from the pen (sounds like a law firm)
They’ll fuck this up like they do everything else but I’d get some more su flower seeds and a few extra jock straps out of some team before I’d let these guys just walk as FA

Reds pitcher a perfect fit for the White Sox? The White Sox are looking for pitching in just about any form. They have room for a playoff-caliber starter or one who simply rounds out a rotation that features Erick Fedde and rookie Noah Schultz at the back end. Either or both could be moved down a notch or removed from the rotation altogether. Reds starter Brady Singer fits that bill and is extremely likely to get moved. An experienced reliever would also shorten the game for Chicago. That's a need as well but not as much as a starter. -- Rogers
Interesting.

They'll trade these guys for some low A ball goofs that can't see, let alone hit, pitches that spin.
We need a couple dozen more of those in the minors so our crackerjack development process can turn them into Major Leaguers who can't hit breaking balls.

So at the trade deadline lets step back and contemplate just how truly fucked this organization is.
The 26 man MLB roster has 5-6 legit good players to build on as a core. Greene, Burns and Abbott make a quality top 3. Good as anyone. Position players you have Elly, Sal Stewart and maybe JJ Bleday. So call it 6. The rest are not going to help you win. A good team may be able to carry a Steer but he isn't making a bad team better.
So where does the help come from? How do you build out the other 20 or so spots on the MLB roster that need upgraded? The minors are barren, everyone has been promoted. Anyone that could be any good is below AA except for 3 guys; The catcher at AA, Duno, is a legit stud. The other two are AAA outfielders (Rodriguez and Jorge).
Now, here is the easiest scouting set up in the world-the Reds MLB OF options all suck balls and yet these two "prospects" haven't seen even a whiff of a rumor of being called up. I'm no Sherlock Holmes but I am going to deduce that these two suck balls as well. More likely, they REALLY suck balls and the organization knows it.
So we still need talent and when we go to the minor league cupboard we are Old Mother Hubbard. Where else do you go to acquire talent in MLB? Free Agents and trades.
-Free Agents; once you stop laughing just move on. I simply mentioned the theoretical existence of them to be thorough.
-So then trade for it; except...who the fuck you going to trade? We have 6 guys and we have no farm system.
An MLB roster devoid of talent, a barren farm system and never any money for free agents. This is why there should be relegation in MLB. If you run a team this poorly for this long you should be stripped of ownership.
