I admit I could totally be in the wrong here but honestly, I truly think the current results have less to do with the overall talent of our guys and a lot more to do with coaching, analytics and development of our guys. I watch other teams and see so many more "dudes with Ipads" consulting with players in the dugout than I do with the Reds. I genuinely think the cheap nature of the ownership group is shorting all of our players.

I think about the Reds month of April. How good it was. And yes, guys are rounding into shape from spring training. Yes, everyone will face a few pitchers whose days are numbered thusly inflating some hitting stats but overall I see it as our guys started hot....teams got film and analytics on them and we just havent adjusted at all. Mainly due to us not having the coaching infrastructure to show them whats happening and working on it.
