Simply not possible.
One thing for sure, they wont make the playoffs in a 162 game season with a 5th starter that bad, something has to be done. Once they get a pitcher for their 5th spot, they have a chance. It hurts to see this.Jaxbuck;1173840; said:No way in hell one of the three guys in AAA will be worse than Fogg/Belisle as the 5th starter.

Next 14 games in May (opponents win % as of 5/17/08)
Cle x 2 (.524) WW
@ LAD x 3 (.512) LLL
@ SD x 4 (.372) LWWL
Pitt x 3 (.476) WWL
Atl x 2 (.512) WW
Play .600 ball and win 8 of 14 (8-6 overall) and we start June only 2 games under .500 (27-29) which I would have taken if offered before opening day. Key series to the whole thing in bold imo.
Cueto seems to have benefitted from the "Bako calls the game, you execute the fucking pitch or go back to Louisville" speech he got from Dusty and Arroyo might be coming around.
What the hell, maybe they can do it.
Jaxbuck;1173945; said:FYI, the math we are looking at:
Reds record through 56 games: 27-29
Last 5: 4-1 (.800)
Last 10: 6-4 (.600)
Last 15: 9-6 (.600)
Last 20: 13-7 (.650)
Last 25: 16-9 (.640) started on 5/5/08
Last 28 games: 16-12 (.571)
First 28 games: 11-17 (.392)
106 games left, assuming it takes 90 wins to make the playoffs the Reds need to play .590 ball (63 more wins) the rest of the way.
Next benchmark to keep an eye on:
25 more games untill the mid point in the season. Reds need to go 15-10 in the next 25 games to be at: 42-39
Schedule of the next 25 games(projected goal 15-10)
ATL x 1
@ PHI x 4
@ FL x 4
STL x 3
BOS x 3
@ NYY x 3
@ TOR x 3
PIT x 3
WSH x 1
The next 4 series will be tough as hell but lets keep track and see what happens.
Re: Reds vs Braves 5/31/08
There shall be no need of a second inning by Cordero. The Bruce is due up second.
