July 16, 20188 yr Author That might do it and is more than attainable with that offense. Still think it may take something more like 45-21 or 47-19. Gotta start this upcoming homestand at maybe 8-2 and keep rolling, can't have a 5-5. Need a double figure long winning streak at some point Taking Harvey’s production out and replacing it with Homer is going to make that hard.
July 17, 20188 yr Do the reds have any chance at somehow making the playoffs this year? Wishful thinking on my part, but either way they have been a fun team to watch here as of late. Gave my son 400-1 odds a few weeks ago. He said "I'll take $5 of that action." While I would love to see the Reds make the playoffs, paying out $2k would suck!!!
July 17, 20188 yr If they went something like 42-24 in the second half maybe they could sneak into a wildcard spot. That might do it and is more than attainable with that offense. Still think it may take something more like 45-21 or 47-19. Gotta start this upcoming homestand at maybe 8-2 and keep rolling, can't have a 5-5. Need a double figure long winning streak at some point They've got 6 teams to jump just to get to the 2nd wildcard. If the Brewers maintain their current winning percentage the Reds would need to go 48-18 to match them. That would be winning at a .727 clip. The Red Sox, with the best record in baseball, have a .694 winning percentage. It would take the collapse of 2-3 teams and the Reds playing out of their minds.
July 17, 20188 yr Author While I would like another high draft pick I'd also like to see a push to .500 this second half. While Harvey hasn't been an ace or anything he's been solid and replacing that will be hard. My guess is they play to .500 the rest of the way and finish 10-12 games under .500.
