This is the worst possible way for the Cincinnati Reds season to have started

I think I’ve mentioned in at least three different places that the Cincinnati Reds, from 2014-2017, were a whopping 96 combined games under .500, which is a colossal amount of losing. A quick look at the 2018 standings shows the Reds again in the cellar of the National League Central, their 2-6 record leaving them 4 games under .500 this year.

Some advanced mathematics tells me that we can now say the Reds, while rebuilding since the 2014 season, have reached a full 100 games under the .500 mark, the one-hit shutout by Pittsburgh Pirates starter Jameson Taillon on Sunday getting the club to that landmark number.
