The Reds in series play lately are 4 wins and 1 tie and no losses.
Thursday night. Wood on the mound. You want to win that one. Start this huge 4 game series with a win. Forget the Yankees vs the Red Sox stuff. If you are a Reds Fan, it is this Reds vs 1st place Cubs. 4 games. In Cincy. Cubs have a good team. Reds have a good team. Many Cubs Fans will be in GABP. Many Reds Fans will be in GABP.
GO REDS.......GO REDS.....GO REDS.
Oh yes, Suarez is at 30 homers. Pretty sure he can hit 35. I'm thinking he can hit 40. How about that, climb into play-offs with all this pitching and a 40 home run guy.
Can the Reds beat the Cubs ??? Reds have been beating the Cubs in 2019. Look it up. Reds have a winning record against Cubs this year. However this weekend will be play-off baseball atmosphere. high intensity, for both teams. A Reds sweep of Cubs would put Reds at .500 ball on season and right around 1st Place. A big reason to nail down the win Thursday......WOOD, BAUER, GRAY, CASTILLO.
Exciting, huh! The Reds have to split at a minimum but they really need to take 3 of 4 to move that needle. If somehow the Reds could sneak into the playoffs, they have a starting rotation that can compete with any team out there. I’m excited for next year but I haven’t given up on this year yet. Realistically, the odds aren’t very good but it’s nice to have at least a small chance vs. the usual none.
