So you would assess an 0-1 team by saying they are infinitely bad?
No, its just that some on here believe this season has already gone down in flames. Take away the 3 game meltdown in Pitt, and the Reds have treaded water so far. I'm not pleased with the season thus far, but have the perpsective as noted above...if not for the Pitt debacle, most of us on here would be cautiously accepting of the season to this point. When the question in many minds is "exactly how bad are the Reds" you've got to take a different look than just the W-L record in dealing with less than 20 games. Over 162 games, the W-L record speaks for itself...after 20...no so much.
Again, not pleased with the season...but just about everything that could go wrong has gone wrong.
