I've had my hopes up like 3 times this season. They'll go on a little run, four game winning streak, go 5-1 or whatever. And at times vs. better teams. But then inevitably they crash back to earth, and often against lesser competition.
Throwing errors, over running bases/bad base running, no offense, pitchers getting rocked for 7 runs in one inning and so on and so on. Four, five six losses in a row and back to .500 we go, or below.
Just can't get over the hump with the current roster and all the guys constantly on the IL. Close but no cigar
The main problem with the Reds, is that they can not hit with runners in scoring position. They are not a polished team. Look how many times Miami got the hit, fly ball, move runners up, etc. Miami will over take Reds before this season is over. The Reds look like they are playing an individual sport, where other teams are playing a team sport. There is no I in team, until that philosophy changes, this team will not change.
