Now with two series losses under their belt after their game against the Rangers on Wednesday night, fans are beginning to lose hope in the home team. “I didn’t think they could do it, but they pulled it off. They completely killed all my excitement for this season in under a week. Amazing job team!” said a Reddit user in a post-game chat in the Reds subreddit.
