A couple of weeks ago, I took a look at the projections for the Reds offense. Things weren’t all that great. That’s fine, because as we all know, the Reds pitching staff over the past few years has been lights out. A big part of all three World Series championships in the past five years, when the offense has looked bad, the Reds have always had the super-reliable pitching staff to fall back on.
Wait, are you saying that’s not true? Ah, a guy can dream.
To the contrary, the Cincinnati Reds pitching staff has had a historically bad stretch over the past few seasons.
