-4 least we end with the Pirates to get this back
REDREAD (09-26-2019)
The Reds were +39 in run differential through their first 81 games.
In the second half they've now gone -50 with four games to go.
That's the "attitude of competitiveness" they needed entering 2020.
Reds haven’t put more than 4 runs on the board since their last game in Seattle (9/12)
They’ve only scores >4 runs in 4 games all of September.
The run diff of our last series with the Pirates in August: -16.
As I recall, some thought this team had a run in it with 7 against the Bucs and Marlins and the Pirates put that to rest.
Unless Geno and Aquino hit some 2 or 3 run bombs this weekend, I don’t see it.
Maybe we will score 15 and Castillo pitches a no-no tomorrow. Send Marty out on high note, and pad the run diff too...

First half of the year, folks here were excited about the positive run differential and how that boded well for our future. Now we see that it didn't mean a darn thing for our future. In fact the record seemed to doom the Pythag rather than vise versa. It was pointless to get excited about the first half Pythag. Pointless

And we end the season at -10
[Phil ] Castellini celebrated the team's farm system and noted the team had promising prospects who would one day be great Reds -- and then joke then they'd be ex-Reds, saying "of course we're going to lose them". #SellTheTeamBob
