nothing is better than firing the first-base coach imo

Jim Riggleman has been interim manager in a box since the Reds hired him as a coach after all that went down with the Nationals.
Price did some questionable moves, but I don't think any manager would have won with that AAA pitching staff. Totally crap weather hasn't helped but the poor start and that overall record 279-387 pretty much has killed attendance. Home games have been nearly empty even playing the Cubs and Cardinals.
So they tied him to the stake set him on fire and can claim to the fan base that they have heard them and we are on the road to winning now.
