"Seen better defense at a little league game"  "Are you kidding me?" - Cincinnati Reds fans despair after blowing three-run lead to Arizona Diamondbacks in ninth inning

The Cincinnati Reds have had a tumultuous season in 2022, and that trend continued against the Arizona Diamondbacks. A three-run lead in the ninth inning is usually a comfortable enough, but it was not in this instance.

Blowing a lead like this has struck a blow against the proud fanbase of the Cincinnati Reds. These fans have more than proven their loyalty. Though the Reds' have one of the worst teams in MLB history by win percentage this season, the fans have continued their support.
