    You're right but to their credit, they have improved their record from this time last year. We'll see what the 2nd half brings because as I recall they did play over .500 in the 2nd half last year

    At this point last year, the Reds were 40-56, so the team is 6 games better. I tried to research this, but I believe the Reds were 36-38 in the second half last year and 32-34 in the last 66 games (I can't remember when Mackanin took over for Narron), so if they go better than .500, we'd see a near 80-win season--still a losing season, but better which is more than you can say for last year.

    According to baseball-reference.com, MacKannin managed 80 games, so that means he took the reins starting on July 3rd. Under him they went 41-39. At the halfway point, we were 31-50, winning Game #81 against the Caridinals. We finished at 72-90, so that means we went 41-40 in the 2nd half of the season. I'm figuring this on the actual halfway mark, not the ASB.

    The good part is lack of hitting is the easier problem to fix.
    Hugs, smiling, and interactive Twitter accounts, don't mean winning baseball. Until this community understands that we are cursed to relive the madness.

    I kept looking for the date Narron was fired, but couldn't find it. I was basing my states on the ESPN schedule going forward from 96 games.

    Yeah, I just checked baseball-reference and looked at how many games Mac managed. Eighty games just made the math easier!
