I didn’t watch or attend a single game this year. No interest. Broke a 9 year tradition. Fuck Phil and fuck Bob. Once they are gone I’ll start watching my favorite baseball team again.
45
Went to one game last year, because my best friend is a Phillies fan and she wanted to go when they were in town. In previous, pre-Covid years I would usually go to 10+ games a season. It bums me out.
18
I’m sure they’ll sell eventually. I’d travel 3.5 hours from Toledo at least once a season to catch a game. It was sad this year but I’m not spending 13 hours of my life trying to attend a game when the owners son has publicly shit on the fan base.
7
Can't blame you one bit, man. I live 15 minutes from the stadium and I can't be bothered, let alone 3.5 hours.
2
Gonna need the other 78 owners to sell too, though.
5
Yeah they can all suck my ass too, but I just really hate Phil. Little smug rich daddy’s bitch who’s ego can’t take that him and pops are terrible franchise owners.
6
My streak was broken as well. Offered free tickets on numerous occasions. But I am taking a stand. Not a dime from me. We deserve better.
3
Yep! Only way things will change is if the fans cutoff that extra revenue.
1
Yeah I have found myself the least interested I have ever been during the off season this year.
1
I hope they turn around soon! My son is getting to be baseball age, and I’d like to take him to a game or two soon if he’s interested and if Bob sells. I really don’t want to have to take him to Tigers games 🤮 lol
1
Should've been the resolution for 2022 tbh
28
I don’t recall Phil making a public appearance after vomiting all over himself? Seems like the Reds already made that resolution.
20
He had the balls to come out publicly in smaller events but nothing as big as opening day again.
22
I heard about some events for season ticket holders. Probably for the best…
1
Still hasn’t apologized to the public yet.
13
don't need an apology, good signings would be better
10
He said what he said to hamhandedly make it clear they won’t be spending more. Nothing changed about that.
1
I’m sure he’ll be present for the Winter Caravan events. Those will be coming up soon.

This ownership group is fucking embarrassing and has turned this organization into a national embarrassment. Cutting payroll to borderline punish fans, talking shit to fans, 6 of 11 90+ loss seasons have come under their ownership in the last 17 years… I could go on and on about how this ownership group has bent this fan base over a table and gone to town on us but I’ll have yet another account banned from posting here. Mods are so soft. Can’t take a little criticism about OUR favorite MLB team.
16
Ooo that last part is cathartic.
11
I second this
8
It's truly a sad day when ownership has so inserted themselves into the headlines for the team so as to turn away the most tenured fanbase in all of baseball. At least the daylight is shining on it nationally now.
7
So true. I understand that this year may be somewhat of a bridge year with our young talent not being quite ready for the MLB, but come next season, assuming they won’t sell the team, the FO’s game plan needs to be 1) spend, 2) apologize to the fans, and then 3) the Castellini’s stop talking forever
6
Not watching the reds until they sell the team is my new summer tradition
6
I get it, but he actually is the COO, so the anger should be directed at Bob for giving him the position. So long as he’s an executive in the organization, speaking on behalf of that organization is his job soooo… you can be upset about what he says but not so much as being upset that he speaks at all.
Tell him to resign, not to shut up.
5
Maybe Bob doesn’t want him near the family produce business and this job was the consolation prize?
3
I hate this ownership with every fiber of my being and its getting VERY difficult to support them with my time or money.

CBS cares

Nepo Babies cry.
2
Went to one game with free tickets, one away game and bought cheap tickets for last game of the year on stub hub. I honestly can’t imagine that they have not relieved Phil of his duties.
2
Thanks to Krall and Castellini, I can make easy 'budget' decisions with my payroll as well. I'd rather pay shipping and handling for Skyline Chili five times over than add to these fraudsters' pockets.

Bravo CBS

All the owners we’ve had for the last ~50 years are cheapskates. We need to look outside of Cincinnati for a true legitimate baseball loving owner that operates a team like an open hand vs. a clenched fist.

Resolution should be to sell the team.
