I agree with most of you that the GM should be fired. There is no way a team playing in this ballpark should be 23rd in runs scored. Almost everyone has regressed. McLain and Arroyo are equally awful at the plate. Friedl and Noelvi Marte are terrible. Steer is mediocre. I could go on.

I think the new GM is probably going to blow this up and rebuild around Elly/Sal/Burns/Abbott/Lowder.

Even Elly isn’t a FA until 2030. Im shooting for the playoffs in 2028-29 but even that seems like a longshot

Elly De La Cruz leads Reds hitters in average bat speed at 75.8 mph

16 Upvotes

Among Cincinnati hitters with at least 250 swings, Elly leads JJ Bleday by 2.1 mph, with Noelvi Marte and Sal Stewart tied for third.

How much of Elly’s offensive ceiling is rooted in that elite bat speed, and how much depends on his contact quality and swing decisions?

Analysis Historical comparison to this year's ROY race

14 Upvotes

I was looking at previous ROY races to see if I can find any comparison to this year's and I found a good one with the 2007 NL ROY. According to baseball reference Troy Tulowitzki had more than triple of Ryan Braun's WAR due to having elite defense at shortstop. Ryan won because he had one of the best rookie offensive seasons of all time while having terrible corner defense. Now Stewart isn't having that magnitude of season offensively, and he doesn't have terrible defense. But in my opinion he has a smaller gap to fill with his offense compared to Ryan's, and in my opinion he has filled it.

Three True Outcomes

4 Upvotes

Reds Offense Ranks in MLB:

HR- 4th with 183

BB- 7th with 493

Strike outs- 2nd most with 1315

Runs scored- 23rd with 570 (top teams in the 700's)

OBP- 29th with .307

BA- 29th with .228

The personnel on the team and the hitting philosophy just don't match. HR's without guys getting on base won't score the runs needed. And I think there's some guys on the team who could get on base more, but are being pushed to be power hitters in their approach. This team just wasn't built to play 3 true outcome ball.

Question is for the next season, do they double down on this path, or try to adjust back to a different approach?

Bonus stat because it's brought up a lot, Reds are actually ranked 3rd best in GIDP, at just 74.

My friend said he had Mr Red and others sign this ball circa 2007-2008ish. He's not sure of the other auto's.

Rules:

1. Follow reddiquette

Remember the human. When you communicate here, all you see is a computer/device screen. When talking to someone you might want to ask yourself "Would I say it to the person's face?" or "Would I get jumped if I said this to a buddy?" See https://www.reddit.com/wiki/reddiquette for the rest.

2. Be polite here and in other subs

Don't be a troll here and be respectful in other subs. Don't be (intentionally) rude at all.

3. No personal attacks

Discuss the posts and comments, not the people who posted them. If you discuss other redditors rudely, it's a bannable offense.

4. No blogspam, app spam or Tube spam

Posts may not be self-promotional in nature, unless prior approval is given by the mod team. Any self-promotion of a blog, an app or a video is prohibited.

5. Be a Fan

What's this mean exactly? Don't come into the subreddit with the sole purpose of being negative. To be clear, negativity as a whole is not banned. Criticizing a player or the front office or whomever is fine. However, if your post history is filled with nothing but vitriol and targeted harassment, expect to be removed from the conversation. We are all fans here after all.

6. Use good thread titles

A 1-word thread title or a thread that only includes the name of someone in a Reds' uniform is a bad thread title. " The best thread titles are complete sentences. Instead of titling a thread with "Votto," title it with "Votto hits a walk-off grand slam!" or whatever other thing you want to discuss that he did.

7. Posts should be about the Reds

Posts should have some connection to the Cincinnati Reds. If you post about other teams or people associated with other teams, be sure to explain how your topic affects the Reds. Posts that don't have some connection to the Reds will be removed.
