One problem with those stats....those runs/game are for all pitchers. I wanted to check relief numbers, and the runs/game does not change. The reason it puts the Reds middle of the road is it is not ERA, it's runs/game. That really helps the Reds since they commit the fewest errors.
Plus if the starters gave up about 4.4 runs per game in 82 games it would mean they gave up every single run this year (in other words, that is overall pitching, and runs/game not ERA).

Umm, yeah. I don't think you get it. In both of those charts the R/G is exactly the same. It is overall pitching in that column. The other columns are relief only, but not that one. Hence pretty useless (there is no ERA column either, which would be the most useful).
I didn't realize that.
I thought they had separated it out. That's inconsistent for baseball-reference.
I think it's pretty clear that Harold was spot-on.
Phillips was playing over his head for sure, now he's starting to come back down.
Cabrera? Not even worth addressing.
Votto will continue to hit but I doubt the power will keep up in the second half.
Rolen has played well above what was expected. He will slow down. Age + long season.
Gomes has been spiraling downward for about a month.
Bruce has been better in the first half than he was for the past year and a half. I could see him continuing to improve.
Stubbs should improve, but he's going to keep striking out at a high rate.
Catching IMO has been pretty good. I'm not seeing this group really giving us a lot more than they have so far.
The only real hope for the second half as I see it is for Volquez to give us a huge shot in the arm and pitch like a true ace and for Cueto to pitch to his capability. I like the bullpen for the most part, Cordero obviously being the huge, immovable exception.
I think it's pretty clear that Harold was talking out of his behind.
Nah, I think he was right.
162 game season. Lots of ebbing and flowing.
People playing over their heads is what spells World series for most teams in the past.
"Don't get too up when you win, don't get too down when you lose".

You guys that listen to a mediocre player/idiot/known groper who is fortunate to still have a job anywhere amaze me. That is the one gripe I have with MLB network. Why do they keep this guy around? He is the one who is playing over his head.
And yet we all post and read opinions here and apparently find value in that.
That is fine, but some of us find no value in what Harold Reynolds says.
