Reds manager Dusty Baker has apologized to the media for not talking to reporters following Saturday's loss to the Padres.
"Sorry about yesterday. I don't like to talk when I'm angry," Baker said.
Cincinnati had a closed-door meeting on Saturday.
"It was a much-needed meeting," pitcher Homer Bailey said. "We knew it was coming. Maybe there's a lot of excuses, but at the end of the day everybody needs to kind of look inside themselves and go out and play the game."

Reds pitcher Edinson Volquez is blaming his 50-game suspension for violating baseball's anti-drug policy on a fertility drug.
He insists that taking the drug was an innocent mistake.
"I don't think it would be something inadvertent," Gary Wadler, a board member of the World Anti-Doping Agency, said. "It's not a very effective drug for fertility. Testicles shrivel with steroid use, and this is used to get testicles back to normal. If it was (to have children), he would have requested a TUE (therapeutic use exemption)."
MLB is not permitted to publicly release which drug caused the positive test.
