I also looked at their remaining schedule, the other day. I don’t see them playing above .500, based on their performance the 1st half. 

Take back all those early season loses, that should have been wins, and we would have had a fighting chance to get a wild card game. All those games they were shut out, plus games in which they only scored 1 run.  All the 1 run loses, plus blowing games with the lead late in the game. Not scoring in 6 extra innings game, with a free runner at 2nd base. Innings streaks of not scoring any runs over multiple games.

Not a good recipe for a winning formula.

I've been seeing short articles on the Reds recent draft picks. Looks like they took a highly rated Shortstop in the 1st, and a big Pitcher in the 2nd. I also saw that they selected a power bat in the 4th. I'm not really sure what to make of their draft, as those prospects will all be several years in development before they ever get a chance at the big squad.

Outside the division, they play pretty well against the good teams (Tigers, Yankees, etc). For some reason it's the mediocre to bad teams they sometimes struggle against.

Just got tix for a big group of us to go to the hated Dodgers game, July 28. 

I go back to the '70s with the Reds. You youngins just don't know about the Dodgers. 

Of course the reason we're going is because my nephew wants to see Ohtani.
