lol reds. the light is gone from their eyes.

This Reds team is so bad. I don't see how they go into Pittsburgh with any chance of winning at least 2/3 (needed to at least have a shot at hosting the WC game) but I guess stranger things have happened

So I had to look at Javy's Fangraphs page, and I'm wondering how he is actually adding nothing offensively. It's better than him subtracting loads of value with his bat like he was last year though. Is he not getting on base enough?

Yeah I'm kinda curious how a .286/.324/.400 only equals a .311 wOBA and a 95 wRC+, I guess the Wrigley adjustments have swung in the other direction?

The Reds have certainly been one of "those teams" for the Pirates this year.

[Fred Hornkohl]

i wonder how many of the "36 of 4 - 2/3 innings of less" games have been since early August? Seems like that's when they really started to grind starting pitchers.

 

Since 01 Aug CUBS are 17-4 (.810) when the opposing starter pitches 4-2/3 innings or less.... 21-14 (.600) when he doesn't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Well, that was an... interesting play by Phillips, eh? Killed me when I would see the Cubs do something like that.

Good point...every Central team has been one of those teams for Pittsburgh.

 

They are 51-15 against the NL East and West and 32-41 against the Central.

Dear 'Pen: the games still do count, in terms of home field advantage. Please don't f this one up. Thank you.
