[More Cowbell]

Not that I put all the blame for this season on Narron (there's plenty to go around), but I thought this was a move that had to be done. I always disagreed with his use of the pitching staff, and also felt he juggled the lineup way too much.

Probably most disappointing was how every spring, he talked about how the Reds were stressing fundamentals, then they go out during the season and look like the most fundamentally unsound team out there. Numerous errors, inability to lay down bunts, not getting runners in from 3rd w/ less than 2 outs, it was just a broken record. Now, I know the players have to go out and do those things, but when you make a big deal out of saying that they will be improved, then the team goes out and does the same stuff again and again, it makes you look like a putz.
