Barry Larkin Critical of Reds' Mediocrity, Current Expectations 'Unacceptable'
CINCINNATI — Barry Larkin is Cincinnati baseball royalty. He's from here, he played here, and he won a World Series here. Heck, when the All-Star game was held at Great American Ball Park in 2015, Larkin was named one of the four greatest Reds of all time.
"But listen, there's expectation, and there should be expectation in this city with this amount of talent that we have," Larkin said. ". We have superstar talented players, right? And there has to be something in someone that just cannot accept mediocrity if you will, .500 baseball is .500 baseball. You don't win playing .500 baseball."
"Lou Piniella went out there and said, 'We're going to win.' There's not an expectation to compete. There's an expectation to win. And we felt that as players. You know what we did? We won."
