Well, at least they didn't get swept!

A day off Thurs and then a 3 games series vs the Cardinals.

I won't be surprised at all if the Cards tie with or overtake the Redlegs for 2nd place by the end of that series!

Tigers avoid the sweep winning 5-1. OFF day today then Fri night at 7:10pm in Detroit... Tampa Bay comes to town. Matthew Boyd will get things started,

Reds best be getting their act together, or yes they will be passed by the Cards, and prob the Pads and Phils as well!

A day off Mon and then a 3 games series vs the LAST PLACE Pirates to round out the road trip.

Wade Miley (12-5) takes on Dillon Peters (0-2) at 6:35 Tues.

Still amazingly tied for the second wild card because the Padres can’t win either lol

Good Morning and the Reds are in first place for the last wild card spot. They are 1/2 game up on the Padres and Cardinals. The Padres have a rough schedule with many games against the Dodgers and Giants plus many games on the road. The Cardinals have 2 games left with the Mets then 3 against the padres then they have 2 series with the Brewers and Cubs. The Reds have the easy road home but if you are not playing well it means nothing. If they tie the Cardinals then the play in game would be here since we took beat them 10-9 in games played.

The most challenging series remaining for the Reds is this coming weekend vs the Dodgers and then a 2 games series vs the White Sox the last week of the regular season.

BLASTED REDLEGS GET EDGED 6-5!!

Wth Wade Miley?!?! What should have been an easy win turned into nothing but a blasted struggle!

Aaaaaand the Cards are in 2nd place!

Vladimir Gutierrez (9-6) takes on Mitch Keller (4-11) at 6:35 Wed!

Very frustrating - oh well!

And as the old saying goes "Better luck next year!"

Ha Ha - was going to use the old Brooklyn Dodgers theme - "wait til next year"! LOL

Plain and simple - The Reds cannot hit left-handed pitching. The other team could send a 60 yr old lefty out there and he would prob pitch a shutout. Not too comforting knowing that even if they make the playoffs, its one game against either LA or SF. And its looking more likely LA. Which lefty ya want? Kershaw or Urias?

Fear not - Buccos throw a righty on the mound tonight with a 6.29 ERA. Better win this one, Redlegs!

The guys got edged 5-4!!

Tyler Mahle (11-5) takes on Connor Overton (0-0) in a Business Day Special rubber match at 12:35 Thurs.

Looks like the Cards will be the #2 wild card team. Such a shame too - lots of talent for nothing.

Cincy was able to salvage 1 out of 3 vs Pburgh as they blanked 'em 1-0 this afternoon!

Next is a last home stand for the regular season of 10 games starting with 3 vs the Powerhouse Dodgers.

Probably will be a slaughter weekend with the unfortunate Redlegs on the receiving end.

Luis Castillo (7-15) takes on Walker "Ferris" Buehler (14-3) at 7:10 Fri.
