The postseason push begins...
#1
The Reds now have 20 games left in the season, and they're just 0.5 game out of the last WC spot.
They only have one opponent (Twins) with a winning record.
The team is about as healthy it's going to be the rest of this month.

Will the Reds make the postseason, or won't they?
What say you?

I say.....Joe
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.

Sorry for Party Rocking!

The Reds will fall just short. Votto is back tomorrow which will seal it. We still had a great season.
Who Dey!  Tiger

My heart says yes. But my head thinks their pitching just isn't going to be enough to get over the hump.

If they do the offense is going to have to catch fire, big time.

Well we're on the road starting tomorrow against the Tigers then the Mets. Both are below .500 so-so kinda teams and we have played decent on the road.

Perhaps they can make a push?

This perfectly sums up my take. My heart says the exciting offensive players launch us into the playoffs. My head tells me pitching wins and the Reds don't have enough right now.

India, Votto and Greene coming back should help. Hopefully, Ashcraft and McLain come back for the final week or week and a half as well.

I'm like 90% sure we miss the playoffs by a game or two, but crazier things have happened. We do have a "easy schedule" for the remainder of the year, relative to the other contenders for the NL WC (of course, that didn't help us much this weekend, losing 2 of 3 to a bunch of losers from St. Louis).
