Posted September 30, 20204 yr comment_1622090 First playoff game since the Stiller debacle. Bauer pitches a gem - about 12K in 7+ innings. 2 hits allowed. tiRed bats do nothing. Bases loaded and 1 out - no runs. Lose in the 13th. I assume they got nothing for tomorrow.
September 30, 20204 yr comment_1622091 Baseball is a crazy game. Might just sweep the next two. Or, maybe not. Would say two straight in the ATL would be tough, but no one is in the stadium anyway, so no great advantage
September 30, 20204 yr comment_1622092 They certainly blew several chances to score today with both ineffective bats when needed and poor base running. [It’s something in the Cincinnati water.]

September 30, 20204 yr comment_1622094 Before the playoffs started I stated in the Reds forum that this was the worst hitting team I can remember.. Hell in that little bandbox thet play in everyone could hit 25-35 homers.. Good pitching will tone down good hitting.. Good pitching will destroy bad hitting.. Reds are bad...
September 30, 20204 yr comment_1622095 The Reds are an awful team with great starting pitching. The lack of fundamentals in baseball is endemic, but the Reds take the cake. Can’t make contact, can’t run the bases, shaky defense, etc. First baseball game I’ve watched all season. Awful. Not the game I grew up with. Don’t blame Bell. These clods can’t execute basic plays we taught 12 year olds to do. Swing for the fences! They suck.
September 30, 20204 yr comment_1622101 I have not followed baseball for years so I was a bit shocked to find the Reds in the playoffs - I thought they were annual losers these days
October 1, 20204 yr comment_1622109 That’s all hitters do now, swing for the fences. It’s all analytics just like the 15- 18 foot open jumper is the worst shot in basketball.

The Reds have been anywhere between 2-5 games back all season. They have been hot at the end of this season but their slow start made them the 7th seed in the NL. The Braves are the best Offense in the NL, so shutting them down last night to the 1 run was impressive. It's just sad that the 11th, 12th, and 13th innings we left guys stranded, just sad. The team has no small ball game.

October 1, 20204 yr comment_1622131 Wonder, if this were a full 162 season, and a normal playoff format, how many of the teams involved now would still be there? I could see the Reds as getting one of the “normal” Wild Card play-ins.

October 2, 20204 yr comment_1622196 Every since the collapse against SF these guys have been a joke. What's the one thing all those teams have in common? The guy at first base is supposed to be their "leader." The worse he plays, the more he talks. Time for him to go.

October 2, 20204 yr comment_1622208 Everyone likes to bang on the Bengals for their playoff win drought but the oh so beloved Redlegs are no that far behind. 1995. And I'm a Reds fan.
October 2, 20204 yr comment_1622211 Except the Reds have won 4 Championships since the Bengals started

October 3, 20204 yr comment_1622241 The Reds have had a few chances of winning a playoff series the last 20 years and they urinated down their leg.
