Just saw Reds April Schedule. ROUGH. At World Series Atlanta for 4 games Then West Coast trips to Dodgers, Padres, Rockies in April. The BAD NEWS is Reds will probably have a losing record at end of April. THE GOOD NEWS is Reds get at Atlanta and at Dodgers, San Diego, Colorado off the schedule. Get these awful road games behind them with 5 months to play.
So Fans will probably be saying the Reds stink at end of April, not understanding the schedule. Reds hopefully don't panic and take April to look at players more and see who is ready for 2022 season.
The Reds only play one series in the NL Central in a 3 game series with St Louis in Cincinnati on Easter Weekend. THAT is the biggest series of April for the Reds. Having the Cardinals in Cincinnati. As Bengals Fans, we know the importance of Division Games with Steelers, Ravens, Browns, especially when you play them in your house. St Louis at Cincinnati on Easter Weekend is indeed the Big Series of April. Even if the Reds struggle with tough Atlanta and LA Dodgers on their turf, and struggle with the other West Coast road trip games that are always rough. The Reds can make up for it by winning the NL Central Series with St Louis in Cincinnati.
So I see a bumpy ride with this April schedule, but they no longer start off with an April of NL Central teams. Those come later after April. So the Key thing is to get these rough road trips over with for the year, figure out who should be playing after the lockout short Spring Training, and Beat St Louis in Cincinnati. The Reds will take some losses in April, but the head to head games with the NL Central come later, except this St Louis in Cincinnati series. THAT is the Key Series in April. Beat St Louis over Easter Weekend in Cincinnati. That is like Steelers at Bengals in football. Beat St Louis in April. Try not to get swept at Atlanta and at Dodgers. I don't see Reds beating these powerhouse teams, but just don't get swept by them. Fans will make a big deal out of Cleveland vs Cincinnati series, but the Key Series is St Louis at Cincinnati in April, Reds only NL Central Series in April.
