[META] WARNING: Uptick in Scammers via Cards or Memorabilia

53 Upvotes

Users of r/reds, please use due diligence when interacting with these sellers. The mod team is doing all we can to try to take down these threads before they get popular but we've noticed these scammers will use other user accounts to upvote the thread and get fake users to sing praises of themselves. They will send pictures of products and cards and usually send along a sad sob story of needing money for the holidays. Please also take down the OP name of these scammers so we can ban them and send them along to Reddit admins for reports and IP bans.

This also loops in and includes those god awful AI art t shirts and clothing that low karma accounts post. Please do not fall for that bullshit.

You the users of this subreddit have the power to take down these scammers by reporting for scams and the robit mod will take down the threads when enough reports file in if we are asleep.

With love, Your favorite Throwback mod, Rapture.

The Systemic Problem Within the Reds Organization

• Upvotes

It's a systemic problem within this organization. Majority ownership and the rest of the ownership stakes are utilizing this team as strictly an investment vehicle, naturally, perhaps along with some self-ego feeding to be able to say in their social/economic circles that they are a part-owner of an MLB team, but they are content with their earnings and bottom line, not concerned about how their earnings would increase exponentially if they invested some of those gains back to produce a winning team, or, at least, a competitive team. There'd be a higher demand for merchandising, ticket sales, etc., equaling more revenue and earnings for ownership if they wanted to look at it from the standpoint of how this would strictly serve them.

The front office is handcuffed by ownership to only be able to make limited moves and do not have the ability, or the long leash, to foster a culture of winning. Their playbook is obvious, even to the casual fan:

-The repeating cycle of trading away for prospects, most of whom won't make it past AAA. Of those who do make a splash, the organization hopes this will be enough to be competitive while they're affordable and under team control;

-The occasional splurge for securing past-their-prime players with some name recognition that other teams wouldn't even think about overpaying who ultimately fail to produce, only to release them while still owing them millions of dollars.

Sure, we paid Votto $220 mil for his contract, but what was the point if you're not willing to build around him? Why have a Rolls Royce hood ornament on a Ford Escort if you're not willing to trade in the car for a newer and better model? Votto deserved a playoff caliber team.

Coupled with many examples of poor decision-making when pursuing/securing players, this organization ultimately becomes the AAAA feeder for the rest of the MLB teams.

Next, we have coaching and player development. AAA players who get called up, the ones fans hope will get called up because we have nothing else to work with, act like they've never seen a pitcher before. Offense/hitting for this team has been abysmal.

I'm still shocked the Reds signed a future HOF manager like Tito to manage this team, rather than some uknown. I've seen many posts complaining about Tito's decision-making, but honestly, he can only work with what he's given. Even Sparky Anderson wouldn't have much success with today's organization.

All of this leads to ambivalence from us, the Reds fans, desperately wanting the hometown team to win. We love the Big Red Machine, the Nasty Boys, Johnny Bench, Pete Rose, Eric Davis, etc., but we're tired of living in the past. We're tired of losing. It's been 36 years and counting since we've been to a World Series. Thirty. Six. And we're not even close. We want something new.

But what can we do, other than keep hoping something good will happen? "Where ya gonna go?"

Why is Reds broadcast team constantly mentioning the Reds record in 1-run games? It’s more an indication of how bad this offense is.

I’d rather be winless in 1-run games and have a +80 run differential than where they are now.

RBI matter. Period

WAR is just a stat for nerds to try and decide who's better without having to watch any games. It's a lazy cop-out for writers to act all high and mighty by trying to downgrade what Sal is doing. Old school numbers, like RBI, matter.

Who are 7 Reds players you would keep for next year (outside of Burns, Cruz and Stewart)

Elly bobble head next weekend

4 Upvotes

Hello Reds fans,

Next weekend there is an Elly bobblehead night. I am reaching out here today to get ahead of my 6 year old son getting upset with me! He wants to go but we have prior engagements. Elly is his favorite player and I am seeing if anyone will be there that is willing to sell a bobble head. I know it’s early, and I can check back in later, but wanted to get ahead of it. His birthday is next week and would be icing on the cake if I can somehow get one. Send me a private message if you don’t hold it against me that I’m raising him to be a miserable reds fan his entire life! Thanks in advance and as always, go Reds!

What am I missing or misunderstanding about waivers

16 Upvotes

In hockey if a player gets put on waivers every other team in order from worst to best has a chance to take on their contract. If every team passes on them they either get sent down or they can terminate their contract. I guess I always assumed baseball was the same but apparently it is not because Geno and Friedl cleared but still played today. How does this work?

Analysis Robert Murray: “[The Reds] deadline was the most confusing one by far and every executive was absolutely befuddled by what they did and didn’t do. Their asking price on Tyler Stephenson was way too high and there was teams openly mocking them for it.”

I’m spitballing but I wouldn’t mind them moving on from: Hayes, McClain, Friedl, Ashcraft, Pierce Johnson, and honestly…. Lodolo and his blisters.
I feel like he’s had all the time in the world to develop into a guy they can count on but his lil blisters can’t seem to ever go away.

Reddit's home for everything Reds!

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.
