    Still would be tough for Reds to beat Cards for second place. Just based on strength of schedule and Cards with tiebreaker.

    As difficult as it may be, might be best to root for Cards to bury Brewers and for Giants to lose to Rockies and SD. Reds would then get a wild card.

    Just look up Reds’ offensive numbers against lefties.

    And on the road.

    Rockies up 2-1 on the Giants in the early going.
    Rounding third and heading for home...

    I'm in a generally positive mood about the Reds' playoff chances (86.5% on ESPN 91% on 538), but there is a whammy lurking for some unlucky team in the NL. It is entirely possible the 2nd place team in the NL East finishes with a losing record. That means the 8th place team in the NL on record could be from the Central or West and get booted in favor of whoever collapses the least between the Phillies and Marlins (both on four-game schneids at the moment with a tough finishing schedule).
    I'm not a system player. I am a system.

    It would be a real shame if that team was the Cardinals...

    The Rockies suck.

    Correct. Have you looked at the Giants roster? How is this team .500?

    I've pondered this all season. But one thing they seem to do well when I watch them is put the bat on the ball.

    I mean wasn't the Marlins supposed to be the worst team in the NL...maybe in MLB?

    They're getting a lot out of guys who seemed Quad-A at best in Mike Yastrzemski (he might be for real but I'm still a bit leery), Alex Dickerson, and most bizarrely, Donovan Solano. Darin Ruf and Austin Slater have hit as well. A resurgence of Reds killer Brandon Belt has helped too.

    Gotta figure over the course of a full season they'd top out in the mid 70s for wins, but they've overachived when they need to. All I'm thinking is the Reds need to poach their hitting coach!*


    *I swear I didn't know beforehand and I just checked and it's Donnie Ecker. Damnit lol.

    The @Twins win. Tomorrow, they will wake up in sole possession of first place in the AL Central for the first time since August 28.

    We have had the best Starting pitching depth in the Majors from Day 1 and it hasn't changed throughout the 60 games. There isn't any team we don't have a 50-50 chance of beating in the playoffs in any round.

    I don't care who we play. We can beat them.

    We need to win one either Friday or Saturday. We DON'T need to go into Sunday 29-30 having lost two in a row having to win. Let's win Friday and I think we clinch win or lose on Saturday.
