We should be boat racing these clowns. Two straight games of no run production is garbage.

Archie, with his fingernail problem, can't throw a curveball for a strike. All fastballs to the pinch hitter, 2 runs in and we're down by a run.

Bradley needs to go on the dl
But that could mean for the rest of the season.

McFarland lets in another and it's 5-3. And he tried to catch it with his throwing hand.

And, Pollock plays it sloppily in CF. Why are our stellar fielders getting so sloppy now?

Votto hits one to the opposite field and it's a 6-3 score. The Reds with 4 in the 8th so far.

What is the opposite of peaking during crunch time? Folding?

Why does everyone expect a win against a team with less wins? The are still a major league team with major league talent. The are outplaying us. Simple.

OK then, why are they outplaying us? The Diamondbacks -- a team heretofore able to hold onto 1st place.

"A win"? We've lost the first two in a three game series and therefore lost the series.

We lost today because the league is catching up to our top reliever, who is a one-pitch pitcher because of his fingernail problem.

Where does that leave us going forward? I'm afraid your assessment is passive. Passivity does not beat opponents.

Plus I think the Reds are right around .500 since the end of April. This isn't the Royals.

My assessment is accurate.
Huh? That's a play on words. Every poster rightfully thinks their opinion is accurate. But we see varying opinions on just about every topic.

Perception is reality. What each person thinks may or may not be true, but it is true that they believe it.

Opinions, of course, are different than facts, such as so-and-so hit for the cycle on so-and-so date.

Goldy just can't get a hit when it matters.

2 on and they aren't going to score. AJ striking out is not helping!
