As fun as this year’s Redboys were to watch, it felt pretty well inevitable that they would win 83 games and miss the postseason by a noticeable margin. I’d sure like it if they got better this winter and did better next year.
But for now, we can watch other teams. If, like me, you spent the summer watching the Reds and so only have a passing familiarity with the rest of the league, I’m happy to catch you up. I probably don’t know any better than you, but that’s never stopped either of us.
Atlanta vs Milwaukee Brewers
If you remember back to the beginning of the season, all them projections and such had the Brewers, Cardinals, Reds, and Cubs all kinda bunched up around 85 wins.
