Reds feeling sweepy in Sunday series finale vs. Mets
Saturday evening saw the best of the 2023 Cincinnati Reds - not in the ‘they’ve got an entire fleet of great rookies’ way, that is, but in the ‘their bullpen is smoke and mirrors held together by duct tape and still better than yours’ way.
With Alexis Diaz unavailable after his 5-out outing on Friday night, the Reds still found a way to close out the New York Mets in a 3-2 victory, Derek Law notching a save within the same week that he started a game helmed by the team’s bullpen. It was perfectly indicative of the way this malleable unit has become mostly roleless, each member willing and able to treat every single out with the same level of importance as any other.
