No love
Espn has their power rankings out and they have the Reds at 22. They say they are basing it on there predictions but come on. there are four teams that are 0-3,at the time, before them. No one is giving them a chance.

Re: No love
We will get 'respect' when we earn it over the course of a season, not after a week of solid baseball.
No one is printing play off tickets based on 2 of 3 from the Cubs and Bucs.

Re: No love
Sample size. I would put the Reds around 15th, but I'm biased. If we start winning consistently we'll move up in people's eyes.

Re: No love
Any ranking before a few turns through the rotations are stupid.

Re: No love
Seems fair to me...why would the Reds get love at this point? They won 2 series against poor teams.
That said, I think they will finish higher than 22nd. |

We should be higher after this series with the Diamondbacks if we win

Re: No love
The real test will be after the all-star break, that seems to be their weakest time the last few years.
