Yeah, I think this might be the Brewers year.

That would be fine as well. The two best teams in the AL shouldn't be playing each other in the second round.

MLB should reseed in the playoffs. The Sox should be playing Tampa.

I see several people putting Brown in the rotation if he is healthy. I would make him the closer. I think the less he pitches the better because of his neck issues. As great as he was this year, I think it might be wise to limit his usage to get the most out of him. If he is healthy next year, I'm not putting him in the rotation.

Unless they already lost today, it's six in a row. They were 1-5 against them last year.

Who would you replace him with?

Munoz didn't give up the home run, Bazardo did. He should have put Munoz in at that time though.

Jed messed up by backing out on the Luzardo deal in the off season. That would have changed everything. Even though he was scared off because of the medicals, he still should have done what he could to find somebody else of that caliber.

I get why Counsell went with Boyd, it just didn't work out. This falls more on Jed to me. He should have gotten another starter in the off season. They should have completed the deal to get Luzardo, or even gotten someone else.

He was drafted last year.

I wonder at this point if he is considering taking the qualify offer the Cubs will give him. He might be better off taking that,and building himself back up and hit free agency next year. I doubt he will, but I am sure he is thinking of it.

Exactly. As disappointing as the Cubs have been playing, the Reds would still have to go on a Brewers type streak against tough teams to pass them. The Cubs will get in, and then get swept in the playoffs.

They are pretty good, the Cubs are good too though. They are just in a slump. The Reds have one of the hardest schedules in baseball left. It won't be easy. If the Cubs just go 500 the rest of the way, they will get in.

Nah, they will still make it. Who else is going to? The Mets aren't playing well either and I don't see the Reds passing both. They have a tough schedule as well.

I think they sign Finnigan. That is a Cub signing. He will be cheaper than some of the other options.
