So what does everyone think once the playoffs start - I think more and more, and i WANT to be optimistic, but we just dont have the top tier SP that other clubs have.
i really dont see winning 2 games in a series. the record vs .500+ teams this year speaks for itself.
are we a year away? are we just taking advantage of a very weak central and off year by St Louis? or will the Reds turn it around (starting this afternoon) and avoid the 4 game sweep in COL and return to playing solid ball?
i feel like they've been playing much more sloppy, the SP hasnt been what it was for most of the season and it doesnt look like a lot of the guys have a plan when they go to the plate - the other day vs. COL Chacin was starting who averages nearly 5 bb per game and he strikes out the side in the first inning, twice on 3 pitches - Reds just swinging and missing at everything. no patience at all. ...
i dont know i guess i might just be frustrated by this series....
