The Reds entered Week 7 with 5 interleague games against the Kansas City Royals and Cleveland Indians an all were on the road. The Reds went 0 for 5 for the week and the fanbase is asking for change from the front office. For one thing, Cincinnati is hosting the MLB All-Star Game and it would not be a good PR move for the office with manager Brian Price being one of the coaches for the National League. Cincinnati Enquirer columnist Paul Daugherty writes that one bad week will not commence change. Reds face the Colorado Rockies and Washington Nationals in a 6 game home stand in Week 7.
