Winning 100 games and finishing 2nd in your division doesn't happen often, but it does happen. SF won 107 last year...they will finish around .500 this year barring a miracle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just point back to the Griffey trade as a point in time as Cincy has been horrible in this new century. 2010-2013 they were pretty good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted September 14, 2022 Report Share Posted September 14, 2022 Reds swept in the 4 game series at home against the Pirates. In the 4 games the Reds scored 7 runs. Lodollo had another good game going 6.1 innings and 3 runs. On the other hand the bullpen allowed 7 runs in 2.2 innings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's going to be a much better MLB starter than Hunter Greene. Saw something in a tweet that, with his start yesterday, he became only the 4th pitcher since 1901 to have consecutive starts of 11+ strikeouts and 0 walks. And, yes, 1901 is not a typo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure hope not, also we already have a good young closer in Diaz. Green had a run early on where he was pretty do.inaye and had two games where he pitched 7 innings and gave up 1 hit or less. He had that 8 innings no hitter where he lost 1-0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
