Here I am again trying not to get caught up in wins and losses with this, the 2023 Cincinnati Reds season.
It was never built to win. It’s not going to feature much winning. The last handful of games, brilliant as they were, came immediately on the heels of a longer stretch of games that were more dreadful on the inverse. Still, it’s hard not to get caught up in the run of things when the fates are on one’s side, and that’s just what the Reds had been riding all week...
...until Sunday.
In a 4-4 game in the Top of the 9th, the Reds put runners on 2B & 3B and had nary an out recorded against them with their 3-4-5 hitters set to step to the plate.
