The Reds (76-83) start the last series of the season in about 20 minutes at the Cubs (81-78). All 3 games are afternoon games. The Reds are currently ahead of the Pirates by 2 games to stay out of last place in the central division. I guess that is something to play for as well as personal stats at this point. Go Reds!

Reds trail 1-0 through 4 1/2 innings.

Reds fall in the first game of the series 1-0 to the Cubs. The Reds managed just 4 hits while the Cubs had just 5 hits in the win.

Good thing they fired Bell, you know, to light a fire under everyone.

Reds shutout again today and lose 3-0. They only had 3 hits today and now have not scored in 19 innings.

Lifeless

The Reds and the Cubs are scoreless heading into the bottom of the 7th. The Reds have now went 26 straight innings without a run. the Reds lineup today has one player hitting over .260 that is Fraley at .275. The starting lineup average is .234. Unreal the team won 76 or 77 games with hitting like that. The team batting average for the season is currently .231.

Reds after my above post score 3 in the top of the 10th after 28 innings without scoring to defeat the Cubs 3-0 in 10 innings. The Reds finish 2024 with a 77-85 record. The Pirates and Yankees are tied at 4 through 5 innings if the Pirates win them and the Reds will tie for last place in the central.
