Wake the kids and phone the neighbors; here are the Top 10 reasons the Reds are 18-22 (cue Anton with the drum roll):
10. The Reds are 5-1 against the Pirates and 5-2 vs. the Brewers but 1-5 vs. the Cardinals, 1-4 vs. the Cubs, 1-4 in Interleague Play and 0-10 on getaway days.
9. Cincinnati is batting .238 as a team, which was 13th in the National League entering Thursday. With runners in scoring position, the average drops way down to .189 -- 30th out of 30 Major League clubs. That includes an 0-for-11 stretch with RISP during the club's losses at Kansas City on Tuesday and Wednesday.
