Because they split a series with a team who had two available outfielders, one of them having been called up from the minors for this series?

Why can’t you just admit the Reds are not complete garbage?

I’m not crapping on the Brewers. I’m complimenting the Reds.

They’re in pace to finish the season 24 games out of first place, 8 games out of 2nd last place, and 23 games under .500.

They are garbage.

A poor team that has been playing well the last two-plus weeks. Happens every year. Time will tell if it lasts.

Yeah I guess the difference between you and I is I understand that an 8 (or 10) game sample size in a 162 game season doesn’t prove (or disprove) a team is good, bad, garbage, or anything else.

Even the worst team in the baseball are going to win 60 games in a season.

How about the sample size of 14 of 19?

Or the sample size of 33-30 since their 3-18 start under Bryan Price. That’s 63 games to go by.

Yep, Reds have been playing well for a while. It's certainly no small sample size. They're certainly not a good team but they've got a pretty nice offense, a good closer, and their rotation hasn't been nearly as bad.

Saying they're garbage equates to not paying attention.

What narrative?

The Reds are 36-48. The 6th worst team in baseball, 3rd worst in the NL.

But they’re not garbage and I’m the one with the narrative.  ::)

Cute that the 3 amigos come flying out at once.

You're aware a team can improve in season, right?  For the last 63 games (39% of the season), they've been an above average team.

Maybe the "3 amigos" are just amused by how obtuse you are.

You’re aware the other 61% of the season count, right?

Glad they had a nice 39% of the season.

Nope. I do. But I also see Cubs fans pretending the 6th worst team in all of baseball is not trash so...

The Orioles won 5 of 6 games this season.  Obviously they aren't garbage.
The Royals won 7 of 10 this year.  Can't be garbage.
The White Sox won 8 of 11 this year.  No chance they're garbage.
The Marlins won 8 of 11 this year.  Not garbage.
The Mets started 11-1/12-2/17-9 this season.  They're great!

Guess we have no baseball teams that are garbage this season.

But I'll tell you what.  I'm absolutely shocked that a professional sports team that plays a 162 game season had a streak of good play.  Because that doesn't happen to every team in baseball every season at some point in the year...

The records of those 5 teams are over a combined 64 games. The Reds are 33-30 alone in their last 63.

Are you this dumb?  If so, Marquette really failed you. Just stop - I'm embarrassed for you.

Show me where every team in baseball has played above .500 baseball over a course of 63 games.

I’ll save you time. You can’t.

Cool. Sadly for the Reds they’re right there with those 5 teams in the standings.

These burns sting.

Show me a good baseball team that is 12 games under .500 half way through the season.

I never said the Reds were a title contender. I said they are playing decent baseball at a .500 clip.
