    According to this tool, 2009 Reds are Playoff Bound

    Hey there guys, some readers of my blog developed this tool and emailed me with it, and I have to say I'm having some fun with it!

    I'm warning you, it is addicting and you will waste your time on it. It simulates the 2009 season and all the pennant races and playoffs. It also tells you stats. The first two simulation seasons I did had us winning the NL Central. We got defeated by the Phillies 3 games to 1 in the playoffs each time.

    Volquez won the Cy Young the first year.

    Check it out.

    2013 Attendance Record: 5-2 2014 Attendance Record: 3-1

    Ankiel just dropped 43 bombs and drove in 123 in my third season on this. We finished last while the SF Giants made the playoffs.

    mine is more accurate...the Reds go 69-93 out of first 22 games, sounds right to me.

    I don't use any pytahgorean theorems, but let me tell you as a lifelong baseball fan; I would bet my soul, my life, that this team wins more then 69.

    Bruce just hit .250 with 17 HR and 68 RBI in the season I simulated (4th season)

    Amen to that brother, I don't use that geeky crap myself, well really I don't understand it nor do I want to! I hope you are right about the wins though, I'll be more than happy to say I was wrong if they win more games, but I say they win 75.

    When we won the division the two times when I simulated it was with just 84 wins! Not all that shocking considering our division!

    I say we're an 80 win team

    I don't understand this line of thinking. I think its a safe bet that the Cubs will have one of if not the highest win totals in the NL. I think one of our biggest problems this year is that its going to take a ton of wins to beat the Cubs.

    I just ran it and Harden lead the league in Ks with 301. I like the Reds chances of winning 91 games(10 over .500) about 100 times better than Harden getting 301 Ks.

    I'm not a math or numbers person... but when something works and is accurate why not use it? The "nor do I want to" makes you sound like a very open minded person. Is the world still flat?

    I was afraid the thread was about me.

    I half thought the OP was jokingly referring to himself.
