Cincinnati Reds at Kansas City Royals, Jun 14, 2009 2:10 PM EDT

This team is dangerously close to losing a bunch of fans for this season. Yes, they are only 2.5 games out of first place. Yes, they still have a winning record, though a loss today puts them at .500. And yes, they still have a ton of good pitching left in them. But we've all been through this far too many times over the last decade. It's basically the same story every time. The Reds start hot and get fans excited that this year will be different. Slowly, the major flaw in the team starts to show itself. Eventually, that major flaw becomes a full-blown issue, but nothing is done to fix it. Eventually, the team falls too far out of the race to recover and fans turn their interest towards crappy football and complain about that.
This season is starting to look very familiar. And I don't blame Reds fans for starting to lose interest in the team. There are only so many times Granny Weatherall can be jilted before she gets pissed off.
And now we're at the point where the Reds will be scraping in order to get a .500 road trip against the teams with the 2 worst records in baseball when the series started. All this team has shown us this trip is that without Joey Votto, they're not a playoff team. Heck, even with Votto, they'd have a hard time being competitive with the way everybody is hitting. We knew the offense was going to be a problem going into the season, but this crevasse goes much deeper than I expected.
Thankfully, the Reds have their best pitcher going today to try to save face. And thankfully the Royals have a pitcher who is more than happy to put runners on base. This should be a game the Reds win, but the way things have gone the last 3 days, who knows?

agreed
struggling to go .500 vs the Nats and the Royals is discouraging.

just a note of optimism
Willie T still has a better BB% /higher ISO% and K% than his career averages.
So he may still have a little regression before his performance starts fluctuating randomly around his core skill level.
Again thanks Walt for signing one of the rare MLB players that actually had a shot to be worse than Corey Patterson.

More from Fya:
Willy Taveras is going to spend the day working with Dusty Baker. “We’ll go over things a little,” Baker said. “A different voice. We knew when we got Willy that he was unrefined product. If he wasn’t unrefined, he wouldn’t have been three places in a short period of time. That’s where teaching comes in.”
Baker talked to Brandon Phillips. It was first time in Baker’s years as manager that a player has ignored a 3-0 take sign. “The more he talk (to the media) the worse it sounds,” Baker said. “It’s over.”
You can assume Phillips was fined.

You know...
I was really depressed recently, and Brook Jacoby showed up at my door with a sno-cone and a few words of encouragement. He reminded me that I’m special, and that I can achieve my dreams if I just wish and keep positive. That really helped me out. I’m now the president of my local glee club, and we sing a cappella versions of Katrina and the Waves’ hits. You should hear us do “Walking on Sunshine.”
Brook Jacoby isn’t so much a hitting coach as a coach of life.

Ok, so given what Dusty said before the game about youth,
I’m really rooting for Hairston and Taveras to fail miserably. I’d love, sometime in July or so, to see Stubbs and Frazier get called up, (and maybe even Heisey to play LF) and go full-on youth for the rest of the year.
I know it’ll never happen, but how much more damn exciting would the rest of this season be with those three added to Bruce, Votto, BP, and Hanigan? Shoot, get rid of Gonzo and call up Cozart too. We would probably epically suck, but it would be way, way, way, way more fun to watch than the debacle over the last week.
Then next year those guys would be ready to kick some ass………..Well, a guy can dream

in 2007 i thought 2009 would be the year
Homer Bailey would be kicking ass, Cueto would be rounding into shape, Bruce would be kicking ass, as would Votto, plus with Dunn and Stubbs, the outfield would be pretty nice.

Actually, you're not too far off from reality
It might have been a bit optimistic to think of a 22yo Bruce kicking ass (still think he will before the end of the year)
Bailey has been a bit slow to develop but is showing signs, same with Stubbs
Cueto, Votto, and Dunn are all doing well, just two of them aren’t playing for us right now.

i figured Bailey would be up in 2007
and a fixture in 2008, and rocking and roling in 2009. I thought the same about Cueto, just put all that a year later.

"The year" is a false grail with this organization I'm afraid
until they get an owner, GM and manager who are enlightened

This year is not as bad as 2006
This team was a year away when the season started. The 2006 team was 4 years away when the season started.

Granted
I just can’t trust the management to be stewards of the talent that will make the Reds compeitive in 2010.

although baker has won in the past, so it isn’t as if he is incapable of running a playoff team.

I agree with that
I have nightmares about a “Frazier-Heisey-Stubbs-Wood for Matt Holliday” trade being announced.

Bring out yer dead. They’ll pitch a quality start vs this ridiculous Reds lineup.

Amazing to hear about a manager put one of their players "on notice"
as Girardi has with Wang. I can’t even imagine that happening with Burton, Lincoln, Taveras or Hairston. They’re going to allowed to suck it up for the rest of the season unless some kind of fire sale takes place.

Dusty just loves being able to switch
pitchers out whenever he wants in these away interleague games, doesn’t he?

Hopefully that jinx works and they start winning. I can’t take a 9-10 game losing streak right now.
