REDS are over .500 on June 15th, not bad.
The SWEEP of Rockies was great. I admit that I was busy with a Fantasy League and all my attention Sunday was on my Toronto Pitcher Ray, and my Cubs Pitcher Davies. Those games on ESPN and I needed those 2 big time because the person I was playing went ahead of me with most points on the week of any team. Thanks to Davies and Cubs, I ended up highest points of week, just barely winning by only 3 points to stay in 2nd Place and ahead in Wild Card. So I was occupied with that, but Happy that Reds SWEPT Rockies.
Now Reds have won game one from Brewers. REDS have won 4 games in a row. They could use Castillo to make it 5 in a row tonight. If Castillo can get on track as not just OK, but as one of the better pitchers in baseball, Reds could use it. With Sonny Gray out, the other pitchers are on a 4 game win streak and Castillo making it 5 would do 2 things. It would beat first place Brewers who have lost very little in 2021. It would also show Reds starting pitching is shaping up into a good rotation, and hopefully Sonny Gray back in a couple weeks.
Some of my CBS Fantasy teams this week I have Mahle and Miley going due to strong last week plus good seasons. I wasn't looking Reds in Free Agency, they were just some of the 2 best to add. This rookie that beat Brewers may be one to pick up soon also. The Reds bullpen has some new names stepping up.
So Reds over .500 and playing good ball. One Reds starter I was able to add to most Fantasy teams lately was India, and he has been a great add on. I even landed Winker on a team weeks back. Gray is on my IL on most teams.
I would love to see Reds over .500 and playing good ball into 4th of July and All-Star Game. This is where I disagree with Moneyball Movie and that GM saying it's all nothing if you don't win the World Series. I really don't care that much about baseball into Halloween. My idea of Moneyball is have a team over.500 and playing good ball 4th of July and All-Star Game Summer for Fans. Only 2 teams will be playing Halloween. 4th of July is BASEBALL TIME. Perfect weather for Fans in The Stands. Reds Castellanos and Winker should be All-Stars. I'm not sure if Reds have any others this year, but those 2 should be Locked In. So I disagree with Moneyball Movie on a few points, and one is looking to last game of World Series totally. Only 1 of the 30 teams can win that. I say having a team over .500 playing good ball on 4th of July and All-Star Game time in Summer for Summer Fans is a good goal. Reds look like they could do that. Nothing against play-offs that over lap into football and cold weather, but Now into 4th of July is Summer Baseball Fun Time. I disagree with him on no bunting and no stolen bases also. Bunting and Base Stealing can win ball games also. Many people make Summer Vacation Day Trips to Baseball Games, so giving those Fans a good Summer team to have a hot dog and a cold drink with is the essence of Baseball to me, and Reds are Doing That.
GO REDS
