Reds are doing some winning, but they can't seem to catch up with their division rivals.

When it looks like the team is on a roll... Losing three in a row to the Dodgers just kills that momentum. Once again, this team can't beat teams with winning records. That's not gonna cut it in the playoffs, especially a one game playoff.

Worthless.
Bye bye playoffs.
[Reply]

We will be in the playoffs

One game playoff and a loss if anything. Something has to change.

I really can't believe it. The team got better on paper this off-season, but the product on the field just looks terrible sometimes. The Cardinals just came in and kicked their ass 2 out of 3. The Reds have absolutely no leadership or fire, no one looks like they give a crap. Maybe behind closed doors its different, but on the field or in the dugout everyone just looks like they give up when something bad happens. Between guys like Phillips showboating normal plays and complaining about his $75M contract, to Dusty not ever having a solution or even a thought of a solution, to Votto being the face of the franchise and never speaking up, this team just looks disjointed and distant from each other. :-)

Yep. No leadership at all.

We just beat a team with a winning record....

Reds win! Reds win! :-):-):-):-):-)

6.5 back, 3-7 in their last 10, not exactly on a tear. :-)
[Reply]

Who cares how many back in the division we are? If the season ended now, we would be in the playoffs due to the wildcard.
[Reply]

[sarcasm] Well, we just swept a team with a winning record.... I guess we are done for the year :-) [/sarcasm]
[Reply]

First time this year. I still am not optimistic at this point. :-)
[Reply]

The Cards didn't look good at this point in the season when they won their last WS, so there's still hope. But the Cards also have a record of winning when it counts. We don't have that record. Not since 1990 anyways.
[Reply]

Sweep!

The Cards and Bucs are looking kinda rough right now.
[Reply]

Reds have won five in a row. Against not-so-hot teams, but still...

Best thing I saw was Broxton's ninth inning close against the Cubs a couple days ago. He was having great success with a pitch I'd call a 'high in the strike zone' fastball. Batters would either whiff on it or make very poor contact.

I just hope we Aren't getting hot too early. I'd hope they'd hit a hot streak that will carry them through the playoffs, but they start it now and could peak too soon.
Fingers crossed.
