You must not pay attention to the Reds social media. He's the fan favorite and has been for a long time. I agree that Cueto and Chapman are big ticket sellers but they are the best pitchers on the staff so that is obvious. I am speaking on every day players. Cueto is on the mound every 5 games and Chapman is in to close if the Reds are Winning or to hold a tie. I am just saying Brandon Phillips is a fan favorite and one of the biggest ticket sellers on the team. That's my opinion and honestly when I go to the ball park those are the 3 guys I am going for and Todd Frazier of course. Regardless of all that, you have a hard time of looking at any positives. You are right about one thing, this is not a playoff team. I still find enjoyment in watching them play. I was not around when the Reds were a superior baseball franchise so I am used to watching their poor execution in key games and constant struggle to close out big games.
