You should watch more baseball. There is so much wrong with your post The Tigers have the same record as the Reds. They're in a 4 way tie for 18th or 21st in MLB. And for the season, the Reds went 6-1 against the Rockies.

Quote:They should have gone 8-2 or 7-3 to finish the 1st half. Now, all they can do is 6-4, not the 1st half ending they were looking for.  And that’s if we sweep the Marlins.

How can they be expected to go 8-2 against teams that are supposed to be licking their chops to play the Reds? Try to be consistent. You look like you're arguing for the sake of arguing.

Quote:Still 4 games behind a tie for 3rd wild card with 5 teams in front of them. 

It's actually three games and only four teams ahead of them unless you're considering teams listed alphabetically that are tied with the Reds.

Quote:That’s still a lot of ground to catch up with only 68 games left. This was their chance to make up some ground.

Every week is their chance to make up ground. Four days ago, the Reds were five games behind the Padres while the Mets were three games back. Now the Reds are three games behind the Mets and the Padres because the Padres are in a four game losing streak and the Mets just won their third in a row.

On September 10th, 2021, the Reds beat the Cardinals to go 75-67. The loss knocked the Cardinals down to 71-69, three games behind the Reds. The Reds went 8-12 for the rest of the season while the Cardinals won their next 17 games and finished the season 19-3, a full seven games ahead of the Reds.

There is still a lot of time and the Reds have a damn good pitching staff.
