A 3-3 split bought nothing: the room spent the week counting the two guys who can hit and blaming Krall.

The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the week, every six hours. Up is worse. Dashed lines are games.
What happened
Six games, three wins, and a fanbase already sorting through the wreckage. The 4-0 shutout in Atlanta came with a shrug about Brandon Williamson never seeing a lineup a third time. A 2-3 loss the next night had someone noting the team was "shitting into a fan to end the season." The turn came Saturday in Toronto, a 5-1 win that briefly felt like something, before Sunday's 1-5 finale settled it at 75-87. Meanwhile: "Worst single season hitting in Reds history." Hard to argue.
