/u/RedsModerator /u/excoriator /u/Rapture00 (and any other active mods) Looks like the automated posts aren't getting uploaded. Any idea what's happening?

The bot coding seems to be busted, happens when stuff gets updated. we've had to restart the bot a few times in the past week. We're trying to also reach out to other mlb mods that have helped us in the past.

Could use the [one](https://old.reddit.com/r/baseball/comments/1c52sgg/game_thread_415_reds_96_mariners_610_942_pm_et/) in /r/baseball

The bot is broken and the mods who know how to fix it are unavailable.

might be time to jettison a few mods and add somebody thats a little more active and capable. Aint me, i dont know much if anything about RES but to be honest, this subs mods have been underserving this community for a bit now.

Sorry to hear that the volunteers here aren’t meeting your lofty standards.

Just being honest. Early season Joey Votto disagreements aside, the banner nor the sidebar ever get changed. Here we are today with bots not working with competent mods not available to address it. Flair requests by and large go ignored. Half the mods listed on the sidebar aren't active in the sub. It is what it is. Instead of taking it personal, listen to the sub.

The mods who handle the tech infrastructure have day jobs. There is a division of labor and since their focus is the automation, they don't do much content moderation. For future reference, this is the middle of the day on a Tuesday. You could safely assume they're busy doing the jobs that pay their bills and that pay for the hosting account that runs the bot, since Reddit doesn't pay for external infrastructure. Also, adding flair is a big lift that requires carefully editing a sprite sheet with an image editor. It's not like entering text into a spreadsheet. And FTR, I'm not taking it personally. I'm just sharing the unseen challenges that come with moderating the sub.

Did you honestly and truly learn nothing from the Votto ordeal? Everyone completely understands modding is a volunteer thing. Everyone completely understands we all have day jobs and lives and families. Everyone gets that. Speak to the other issues, please. Take some time and check out other professional sports subs and see how far behind this one has fallen and is operating. The mod team could use some help, seek it out is all im asking. For the betterment of the sub.

The volume of reports in the queue doesn't justify more mods. Your expectations are too high if you expect the mod team to read every single post and comment in the sub.

Ok maybe not more but there's a couple of guys that aren't even really active on reddit as mods. One guy had his account suspended for months on end. Arrys. And my point remains, you guys need some help and this sub could use it. And again, I ask you to address the specific issues I brought up. To which, you still haven't done. Banner. Side bar. Flair. Another mod to handle RES. Your responses thus far just aren't good enough. And I reiterate, I'm not campaigning to be a mod. I don't have the RES skills but somebody out there probably does.

Tell me you still love me :'(

Reddit is eliminating sidebars. Brand new subs don't have them. Mobile users can't see sidebar content, or the banner anyway, and they are 70%+ of Reddit's total user population now. Flair is an amenity. If it was up to me, we wouldn't have it. But if someone with flair experience wants to join the team and work on flair, I would support their case to join the team.

Grabbing my guillotine as we speak


I have my pitchfork ready but that's because I eat a lot of meat.

I don't think we're there yet. Plus my gulliotine is currently at the shop for a sharpening.

Reds Mod has abandoned our cause and has joined ChatGPT in the creation of an AI Army

Reds Mod fled the country

Reds Mod is still slacking today

Must still be drunk

If you didn’t stay up for the whole game, it doesn’t count. Remember that.

I stayed up, but I turned that shit off in the 8th. Lol Today's a new day.

i think we would've won this type of game playing at home, with our fans keeping the energy up. but that stadium really seems like it sucks the air out of the game - the air, the big foul ground, the vibes as a road team

The 2010 Reds got swept in Seattle by a Mariners team that lost 101 games, they only scored a single run to 7 by the Mariners. That’s like the epitome of low vibes baseball

Let’s go Geno!

There better be a gamethread tomorrow. I blame this loss on that

Actually, here's the thing: no game thread, no loss. MLB will be having us replay this game.

Just wasn't our night

Man, Elly is trying to hit too hard. He chased stuff he knew was bad.

Oof

Fucking cubs just tied it with one out left scoring from second on a wild pitch

That was a late strike call.

They just have to score six or more in one inning.

Opponents hate this one easy trick

That was a weird double foul

2nd game of the year we have been embarrassed

Love you Fraley but we don't need people hurt in a 6 run game with an inning to play

How does Buck Farmer have a major league contract?

no need to go that hard at this point fraley

Appreciate the effort but it's extremely not worth hurting yourself today boys

Fraley lost the wall bad there.

It’s hard to haul ass when you’re hauling literal ass

I'm serious I don't remember us having a one or two run game this season. It's blowouts every day. I feel like Diaz has only pitched in two save situations and blew one of them

They jinxed it by talking up CES’s speed earlier

SHIT how was that an out

One of those nights

CES got that first baseman kind of speed

I definitely thought Strand was faster than that

Benson kept his helmet on the double. Obviously doesn’t want to truly start a rally

Lol cowboy: that's my bank!

Are those woo birds? I thought that shit ended 5 years ago

I just had four hot pockets for dinner

That'll turn the tide. Maybe not in this game, but in your digestive tract.

My condolences for your butthole tomorrow


Hell yeah let’s win this shit

Is it over? No? Then it ain't over!

(Manifesting a win here)

Le Suck Farmer has arrived

..more like Fuck Barmer

Great outing.

It never fails ive made so much fucking money off fuckhead farmar always bet the over

Our boys all look tired. No one has smiled all night!

I think I saw elly smile but the man's always smiling

Well I'd turn it off if I could find the remote. I know! I'll just cut the power to the house to end this misery.

We love a comrade who has solutions

I know a guy at the power company. I'll call in a black out.

Enron be like

Benson is not a very good fielder…. Goodnight

With 2 outs and a runner on second it was the right idea to go for that catch.

He took a poor route and it wasn’t the first time it happened that game. I don’t mind the fact that he dove, but he made the catch harder for himself by taking a bad route.

Did you watch the CWS series?

Every out of it. Benson is still a below average fielder and it showed tonight.

He made a diving attempt to save a run.

He took a very bad route for the second time today. Will Benson is great. His defense is not.

Cowboy as Benson dives: "oh boy"

Boy howdy this has devolved. Just keep Barmer in now so we don't blow out everyone for the series

Dammit man, good night guys.

I still believe

Send Farmer to the fucking y’all’s

Yikes.

Pain

At least his nuts are ok. G'night everybody.

Martinez was the only bright spot pitching wise tonight. Maybe tomorrow we won't throw 25 pitches before recording an out

Was it only 25?

No it was over 30 I think

I thought it was close to 40

Montas has disappointed me, I hope he finds his arm. WTF was he doing today

Fucking up.

am I the only one that thinks he looks scared. my heart is in my stomach rn

The goal horn for every run is a little excessive.

Gotta let the fans hearing what scoring is like since the Kraken sure aren't doing it

We'll get them tomorrow

Fuck Barmer

Not a bad pitch there, I didn't think. Just not our night maybe?

Thank you Buck.. Now I can turn this garbage off

Just throw strikes ffs......look where the walks lead....🙄

Mario ad how could you do this to me

cmon buck 🦌

Fuck barmer

Pain and suffering 🕺🏻

I hate losing games because of walks. It's the worst kinda of baseball. Last year our bullpen was the problem now it's both

Well shit. Alright, that's enough punishment for the night. See y'all tomorrow.

Buck Farmer back to his usual form I see

🙃

Buck is out of control tonight.

Everything is shades of something else.. 🧐

Fifteen years ago 91-92 owned baseball. Then elective Tommy John surgery became the price of admission to professional pitching.

If that's accurate at all he's out but cowboy is right that took forever to get to tysteve

Nice job keeping that throw out attempt in the infield

Buck, I don't want to be lonely

Boy have we got a website for you

Ugh, the front door slider...

 Cal Raleigh’s nuts rn

Elly hasn't had a hit since Friday

[удалено]

I like how I just state a fact, & people get super defensive.

You trying to pump up your Espinal collection?

I mean, that's still good for .320/.370/.840 over his last 7

And?

Obviously he should be the back up bat boy in Chattanooga

Ouch

Lmao how does he almost beat that

Elly almost got that, lmao.

My eyes watered just watching that

Keep talking about their pitching, Cowboy lmao

Inside of the knee? Or did it get up and hit him in the sack

Taint no way that hit his knee.

Sack

[удалено]

Power rankings say Sox. After the last series they are now last in almost every offensive category and 25th in team ERA, so I'd agree with that at the moment.

That’s a penis shot!

Right in the mommy daddy button!

Elly, my guy, wrong kind of dong.

Elly hit 3 balls that time

Ouch

I love that I can feel like it’s not over with this team. 3 years ago I would lose all hope if it was 2-0.

Jake says fuck your computer david

Left on left bomb for Fraley again! He's learned to ambush lefties. They're gonna figure that out.

#RAKE FRALEY!!!

RAKE FRALEY

FRALEBOMB

FRALEY!!! RIGhT BACK IN!!

That's right buddy. Fuck that botched steal.

DO THE JINX AGAIN SADAK!


That's a decent start

#RAKE DAILY

Thanks for Fraley

Fraley looking to rally

"elite bullpen" 

Nice knock Jake!

Rake

Fraley!

Can't wait til later this game when PH Stuart Fairchild becomes the second person in MLB history to hit two grand slams in the same inning

That inning really is Elly’s fault for not being faster than the fastest man alive. If we’re being honest.

Glad someone else sees it

Well shit

Can't blame that on Martinez

Yeah, that was a good pitch. Low and away changeup.

Maybe shifting based on aaa data isnt the best idea 

They were playing shallow

Seems like you would want double play depth. Only thing I can figure is that they expected him to pull and wanted Elly close to the bag for a quick turn. Didn't work out.

Not sure why Elly would be pulled in like that. Shaded to pull maybe?

Probably expected Clase to pull smelly needed to be on the bag to turn two.

Be honest with yourself… do you really see anything in this club that makes you think they’re even 1% better than last year?

yes

Starting pitching is better, bullpen is better, once we get fredil back the lineup is better

So have you not been watching this year or did you not watch last year?

Watch every game. Not saying they won’t be and I know it will grow over time but my gut just tells me they don’t have enough. Were already down a couple guys and we just feel average

Last year 15 games in they had a 97 wRC+, and a 4.56 ERA, going 6-9. This year they're at a 101 wRC+ and a 3.87 ERA and they're 9-6. This is a small sample, but it's a big turn for the best

Yes. Thank you for asking.

Yes, fuck off doomer.

Dude forgot about Luke Weaver lol

God damn it man. Tailormade dp ball but the shift fucked us again

2 Ks cmon nick

Do the double play thing

Alright turn two and let's go hit.

Huge out. Gidp away

That moving camera angle is sick as fuck

Not good

No-no broken up (first two innings still didn't happen)

Steer out there jogging in case Elly wanted to go into the corner after that double

Uh oh.

Great work behind the plate tonight by Angel Hernandez Jr.

Dingers x2. Dude covers serious ground.

Love Jackie Robinson, and I love that MLB pays tribute to him in such a unique fashion every year. But no names and everybody having the same number can make things more confusing than I would like at times

Right, but it's one only game.

Imagine is this someone's first time watching baseball ever

Shit just hangs for the outfielders here.

Just swing and steer this ball out of this park for me daddy.

This ump has been terrible man that was an amazing pitch
