No kidding.  Under Riggleman the Reds were 16 under last year and could duplicate that for this season if they lose out even with some pretty good starting pitching this year.  I'm sure they expected to at least break .500.  Depended on too many guys that just didn't pan out.  They need to make some changes in the off season and hopefully add some speed.  Still don't think Bell is the answer.
Bell has zero to do with this.  I've covered this several times on who they've lost in terms of offense.
Speed can help but they really need some guys who can hit with runners on base.

Pirates tie it at 4.   Onto the 6th.
Make America Honest Again
Reds up 5-4 in the 8th with two on and one out.  Kyle Farmer up.
Make America Honest Again
To illustrate the Reds poor front office from 5-6 years ago they are playing a relief pitcher in CF.   Their draft choices have not been good and they have made poor trades.   Bell is a manager not a coach, and when he gets players they MUST be ready to play and not taught how to play.   Reds have just done a poor job of bringing in talent.   If Bell had made bone head moves this year I'd be the first to call him out.  He's made some no doubt but the club has played better.

LOOKING FURTHER into the Reds stats on offense which is the big problem, we see Votto with a 260 ave and 15 HRs and 47 RBIs.    They are paying him 20 million for this?  They lost Senzel, Puig, Gennett, Galvis, Winker, Schebler.  They really needed all those guys to have a shot at 80 victories or so.   Pitching was great aside bullpen melt downs.   Offense down in bottom of the league and that's on the front office to give Bell better hitters.

Raisel Iglesias on in bottom of 9th and Reds up 5-4.  We'll see how he does.  One on..
Make America Honest Again
AND RAISEL IGLESIAS BLOWS it with 2 outs for a PIRATE WIN in bottom of ninth on walk off HR.  UNFREAKING BELIEVABLE.  6-5 Pirates.  Want to know why the Reds have sucked this year?  Look at their record vs one of the worst teams in baseball.

Bell's handling of the pitching staff this year has been an analytics inspired joke. The new pitching coach has been a godsend, but even he can't overcome the idiocy of pulling perfectly good starters in the 6th consistently.
