HammerTime Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Reds will be back at it Friday at home Vs Washington. Good sign Homer goes into Coors and Chase Field vs two good teams and throws very well. I'd expect another No-Hitter at some point this second half. Castillo is gonna be a good one.

ColonelCrazy Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Reds finish the 1st half at 39-49 (.443 win %). They're 9.5 games out of 1st in the NL Central.

MJAlltheWay24 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 They were 32-57 at break in 2016. Progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJAlltheWay24 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 How about Joey Votto? He's on pace for better numbers than his MVP season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKMustangFan Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 How about Joey Votto? He's on pace for better numbers than his MVP season. He's unreal. Scary thing is he's always been better second half. If he has the exact same numbers as last year's second half he'll end the season with a .358 avg, 118 R, 38 2B, 41 HR, 123 RBI, 109 BB, and only 74 Ks.

HammerTime Posted July 10, 2017 Author Share Posted July 10, 2017 Progress. With a starting rotation that was in shambles basically all year. I think Price has done a pretty good job with this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegas has him at +5000 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plantmanky Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Dont loose 13 in a row on that road trip (or whatever it was) and they are a 500 team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nkypete Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 When and why did MLB go to a 4 day All Star Break? Didn't it used to be 3 days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColonelCrazy Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Dont loose 13 in a row on that road trip (or whatever it was) and they are a 500 team. They lost 9 straight at Los Angeles Dodgers (3x) then at San Diego (3x) then returned home to play Dodgers again (3x) before going to Tampa Bay (lost 2 out of 3), lost 2 out of three to Nationals and the makeup game at STL. June 9th thru June 26th -- 16 games, 2-14 record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcpapa Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 The .443 winning percentage translates to 72 wins over the course of a full season. I said 73 wins in the preseason prediction thread, we will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
