Make Your 2023 Cincinnati Reds' Win Total Prediction

[j.u.FAIRFIIELD]

The starts that most rotation pitchers miss are usually for a blister or some kind of back tightness. They might miss two turns. The 30-start benchmark is still useful but over 6 months, it wavers too much to be much more than a theoretical point of reference. But I don't see a way the Reds will give a lot of thought to shutting anybody down unless there's a nagging injury that poor mechanics might make worse. By mid-June, these three hosses should all be getting 115 pitches per start.

68 wins

I figure the ownership will be content to make money while losing games and will sell off anything not nailed down.

Yeah you can call me unhappy

77 flirt with .500 most of the year.

picked 65-67. They had some bad luck at points last year but they're also much worse.

What happens with the other 30 games (162 game schedule)? Ties?

Going optimistic at 73-89.

I believe he's predicting 65, 66, or 67 wins.

77. I just have so much optimism in the big 3 starters and the offense will score just enough to win alot of their starts. The bullpen and the 4th/5th/6th/7th starters will keep them from .500

65-67 wins. It's an improvement? I want to believe that the Reds were unlucky in some respects last year. However, I also believe that bad things are more likely to happen to bad organizations. It wouldn't surprise me if in 2024 we are all sitting here talking about how we can't possibly be as unlucky as we were in 2023.

I will say that the attitude of the team seems positive. Maybe they will surprise me. But I don't have much faith in Bell. He's fine. But I do not think he is going to get that much more out of a player than their average. And I don't think he's a guy who will inspire a team to have a chip on their shoulder and become world beaters. I think the excitement is there because he's told a bunch of young guys that they have a chance to be leaders and they are excited. But that's a lot easier said than done and can vanish quickly.

With all that being said, I am super happy that in 24 hours baseball will be back.

66 sounds right.

[kaldaniels]

68 wins.

Aren’t I just a wide-eyed optimist?

[Kilgore_Trout]

72-90.

I think we hover around .500 through April and maybe a bit into May. But that’s about it.

I'm upping my wins prediction. I'm at 70 - I think the Reds will be a bit better this year and a bit (just a tad) healthier.
