Tough when you're both mediocre and incredibly unlucky.
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.

On the other hand, they are kinda lucky to have won so many games while being unlucky, and outperforming their pythag (if that makes sense).
The Reds are 3-0 so far this season in extra innings
The Reds were 3-12 last season

In extra innings?

They keep finding ways to win.
That's good.
They need to find ways to win.
That's not as good.
Still, the results are fantastic.

Francona didn't do much most of last year to impress me. That was until the strong finish by the team to make the playoffs and the strong start so far this year.
Very pleased with Tito
From Lance McAlister
The Cincinnati Reds (13-8 .619), the are off to their best start after 21 games since 2006 when they opened the year 14-7 (.667).
They are alone in first place in the National League Central for the first time since entering their August 3, 2023 game at the Cubs.
Time Travel Predictions: You have been shot backwards in time New Year's Day in 2026. You are handed a note and told to read the contents. The note states that Hunter Greene and Nick Lodolo will begin the season on the IL and miss AT LEAST a month. The note further states that the Andrew Abbott and Brady Singer would be carrying ERAs well over five. It goes on to state that on the morning of 4/20 (smoke 'em if you got 'em), Reds hitters will have combined to produce the lowest OPS in all of baseball. You are then asked to make a prediction as to what their won/loss record will be after 22 games.

The older I get - the better I was
and yes - I hate the Cardinals (Reds fan since 1958)
I miss Raisor
Hopefully, by September Greene and Lodolo will be mowing folks down.

As of April 20, 2026 - The team is officially ranked dead last in AVG, SLG, and OPS.
If he had to repay a debt he should have covered that last year. I think Francona really likes Benson's attitude and work ethic. I get it
