Here's my thought...I hope my numbers are right. If we go 19-8 in the next few games, the team will be 70-70...then we can talk wildcard. Simple as that.

The reds are now 10 games under .500, not 11.

Yes, they were out long ago.
...and I'm the original "I believe" gal!
I swapped my rose colored glasses for blue blockers early on this season.

Blue?!?!
Have you gone over to the cubs side?!?!?!?!?!?

I Still think it can be done.

if Johnny Evers and Hank Gowdy can stay healthy, then we'll sweep the A's in the WS
PECOTA actually predicted a most likely scenario of 76-86. So did chili, Boss, and paintmered.Originally Posted by RFS62
I projected a 77-85 record after running a RC analysis based on the most likely Runs Scored/Runs Allowed numbers (a 10-Pythag Win gain over 2004). jmcclain matched that. woy threw up 78-84 as the number.
M2 (spring feverishly-optimistic as he was) predicted 74 Wins, Ravenlord chose 75 as his target number of victories, and Raisor stole that number from RL's computer. alloverjr picked the same number of wins, but didn't resort to thievery.
Right now, there are three guys who are on the nose if everything holds equal- deltachi, RFA1966, and MWM predicted a record of 72-90, which is smack dab where the Reds would be if they post the same RS and RA per game averages going forward.
However, if the Reds play .500 ball the rest of the way, they're going to end up with 75 Wins. .522 ball would hit PECOTA spot-on. A .543 W/L record from here on out would give them 77 Wins. They'd need to post a .565 or better Win % to get any higher than that.

If this club gets to .500 it will be a miracle.
If they make the playoffs, it will be because at least 5 teams ahead of them had so many players found guilty of steroid use they were unable to field a complete team.
Ain't gonna happen.
We'll burn that bridge when we get to it.
