Bryan Price took the Reds to task for their lethargy in Monday night’s game against the Indians:

What was disappointing and unacceptable tonight was that we didn’t have our head in the game at all, especially in the first five innings. We had two guys who didn’t remember how many outs there were, we had a pitcher that didn’t cover first base on a ground ball to the right side.

Price really presented this as constructive criticism, noting that this wasn’t the way the teams normally plays, and that it would not become the norm. The public airing of this should get the players’ attention.
