This catch feels like the spark that might just change the direction of the next week of baseball...It was a spark that was needed. T.J. Friedl impacted this game in multiple ways, but this catch might just be the turning point of the season... #ATOBTTR

And just like that, the Reds season is over. An absolutely fun and surprising season, but what a let-down to end the year. You can be excited for the future and also upset with the outcome of the the 2nd half of the season. No excuse for this team to not be in the playoffs.

If the Reds want to play playoff baseball in 2023, here are a few things that I believe must happen: • David Bell must begin managing these last 30+ games like each game is “do-or-die.” He can no longer leave pitchers in games to save the bullpen. They are in the home stretch.
