A little over a quarter into the season now, the Reds still can’t catch a break. Our team is seven games under .500; new signings Mike Moustakas and Wade Miley are under performing; and top prospect Nick Senzel has been demoted to AAA after hitting .133 over 67 plate appearances. Oh, and Joey Votto has nearly identical strikeout and walk rates. It’s not all bad (see: Nick Castellanos, Shogo Akiyama, and Philip Ervin), but it’s mostly bad.
If you missed the explainer of this little project, you can find it here and last week’s results here.
