And there are 4 teams in front of us and 2 tied with us. In order to get the last wild card, we need 1 less loss, which would mean we are 5 games behind, unless we end up in a 1 game playoff for the last playoff spot. Which depends on record against each team which is tied for last playoff spot.

That's awesome.

They're still only three games back.

Pirates. We would be lucky to split the remaining games left in division. We have 6 games against Atlanta, 3 games against Kansas City,3 games against Houston, 3 games against New York, 3 games against Minnesota and 2 games left against Cleveland, all of which are above .500
I don’t see how the match works out, where they could play 10 to 12 games over .500 to get the last wild card spot.

You're right. You do have a flair for the obvious, but you're right.

If the current Reds don't make a trade for a power hitting OF or if Hinds doesn't work out, they probably won't make the playoffs. Pretty much everyone in here is agreement with that . . . but we also celebrate when they play well. The only time that you seem to post when they play well is to defend yourself. It kind of comes across as a Chicken Little syndrome.
