[Tiger Roar]

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.

Could care less about the social media stuff. I'm 50 years old, and remember this once proud franchise in it's glory years. You're the kind of fan the cabbage man loves, because bobble heads and social networking, and fireworks are MORE important then the product on the field. I find ZERO enjoyment watching a below par team take the field night after night, just because. You have your right to your opinion, and I respect that. On here though, you are talking apple and oranges with me when it comes to trying to put together a winning team, and at this point, and time, Brandon Phillips is in NO WAY an answer to this teams problems, and his contract is one of this teams anchors at this point, like him all you want, this team is going NO WHERE with him on this team, and I would LOVE to see him GONE ASAP, for some young future players, and to FREE UP some payroll, and try and turn this thing around, after all winning baseball games is what I want most out of this team , NOT social networking, which I would say to that, " WFC!!!" :please:
