Thanks to some mercy from the baseball gods, the Cincinnati Reds are not the owners of the worst record in Major League Baseball at the moment. They owned it when they woke up yesterday, mind you, but losses from the Kansas City Royals and Oakland A’s have pushed the Reds back up the ladder, even if the cellar is still very clear within their rear-view mirror.
It’s been tough out there for our Reds, folks. On most days, we don’t even know exactly which Reds we’ll have on the field for our rooting, as they currently have so many folks on the injured list that it’s hard to keep track.
