Last week was a good week of Cincinnati Reds baseball. The bats were timely, the pitching sufficient, and they ripped off 5 consecutive wins in the most hallowed cathedrals of Major League Baseball.
It was enough to have rumblings of going for it and trying to win games surface within our minds, the idea being that turning things over to the most talented players in the team’s system right now could help get these surprising Reds over the top - and even into first place with a strong weekend against the Milwaukee Brewers.
Good lord, did those hopes ever become fleeting.
