  • Charlie is bought and paid for

    Working hard for that Reds.com job. Cheerleader. Spins everything. Garrett Hampson is a joke. The Reds should have never given him at-bats. Then they CUT him. Then the cardinals cut him. Get real.

    Also, stop saying “twenty twenty three/four/five” so much. It’s like you’re trying to be paid by minutes spoken.
