They'd take him over David Bell.
LOL....sure, keep talking to yourself...it's got to be reassuring.

zig, if you are happy with Bell and more losing seasons, I am fine with that.

You can assume all you wish.  You judge a guy off one year with a team he did improve in wins.  You judge a guy off one year with a team that has had countless years of losing culture and that's not changed in one season. You judge a guy who had NO offense this season and was so bad they fired the hitting coach and finished 24th in the league in hitting.  AND if you really think in pro sports the manager has the ability to BY HIMSELF push a team to a world title or playoff sans talent then you are living in a dream world. Riggleman career is TWO HUNDRED games under 500!

I think the Reds improve the team in a number of areas and Bell next year finishes above 500. They went from 64 wins under Riggleman to 75.  You can keep Riggleman and his career numbers which are TERRIBLE. He had TWO winning season in his entire career. ONE.  I'll take a younger guy and more talent.  After seeing Bell next year and a better team I'll judge him then but I don't want Riggleman.

Reds move to overhaul the organization's pitching direction with Driveline Kyle Boddy. Interesting. We'll see what they do next on the hitting side of the baseball.

7-6 Cards. Big BLAST by Goldschmidt was key. Braves fought back and made it one run game.
