@Jake2J1Buckeye It was a bad call to walk Suzuki. It makes sense for most teams, but when you stock your bullpen full of guys with command issues, you don't get that luxury.
@Soly_Reds@RedsFan_Brandon@bryce_spalding So DRS projects where a player should be on the field based on who's hitting, but if his coaching staff doesnt have him positioned there, and the ball is hit to that exact spot, it hurts his DRS? Genuinely asking.
@RedsFan_Brandon I remember he had a crazy streak of getting on base every game that year. The streak broke the day he got snubbed because he argued a strike call in the first inning and got ejected. He was so dominant that year.
If the Reds dont make some significant moves this offseason, their ceiling will once again be a first-round exit. How long are they going to let 1995 be the last time they advanced?
The Cincinnati #Reds in the playoffs during my lifetime:
2010: swept by Phillies (becomes 2nd team in MLB history to get no-hit in the postseason)
2012: blows 2-0 lead to Giants (with all three losses coming at home - this was the last time the Reds played a home playoff game)
2013: loses 1-game wild card to Pirates (Cueto infamously drops the ball on the mound)
2020: swept by Braves (did not score a single run)
2025: swept by Dodgers (outscored 18-9 in 2 games)
