Reds go from 2-5 to 5-5 ....Back to .500.....The percentage of wins may be all MLB can go on in 2020. These teams missing games may not be able to make them up. In the NCAA not all teams in football or basketball play the same amount of games. MLB has all teams that finish 1st or 2nd in their division in play-offs plus 4 of the 6 teams in 3rd place. You simply go on percentage as just 4th and 5th place teams left out of play-offs and one 3rd place team. They are still on pace to have a World Series even if they can't make up games. It is Covid 2020 and nothing is perfect, you just get by the best you can until hopefully a 2021 of Covid cures and less Covid. So Reds back to .500 is huge. Lets be in the 16 teams that go Play-Offs start of October.
I hope they don't rush Bauer. He threw a lot of pitches Sunday. His regular day to pitch would be to start Milwaukee series and that is a big game to use him in.
Baseball may be doing something great for USA. They are wearing masks. Some Covid players but they take off and come back. Most aren't getting it. It could be those that did got it in a bar and not the ballpark, such as Miami, could be. Baseball is showing you can still wear a mask and be a man. Plus the stressed out USA needs Baseball. If Baseball can play August and September and play-offs and World Series in October, the USA is in dire need of that in 2020. If they have to shut it all down, OK. Players health comes first. It would be great for USA if Baseball can pull this off.....Baseball is taking the politics out of Covid, and somebody needed to.
So Reds at .500 to start August 4th. 3 Wins in a row. I'm not that big on Cincy vs Cleveland. I'm sure the play-off tie breakers will be head to head and division record like NFL. Just hoping Reds bats coming out of Spring Training mode as well as Bullpen. Maybe they just needed their innings in after Covid lay-off of close to 4 months and no real baseball in 10 months. They needed to knock the rust and dust off and get their innings in. Hopefully they are good to go now back to .500 ball.....GO REDS. ...With Gray, Castillo, Bauer, Reds have pitching to win a World Series. The old saying Good Pitching stops Good Hitting, which has been proven correct many times, Koufax & Drysdale, The 69 Mets, the 1990 Reds. and a lot more examples. Gray, Castillo and Bauer could take Reds a long way in the play-offs.
