Plus: Who's the best rookie to build around?
The Reds made the playoffs in 2020, which, even with the expanded format, is not nothing. But still: They haven't won a postseason game since 2012, when Dusty Baker was their manager, and they haven't won a postseason series since ... would you believe, 1995? The winning pitcher in the series clincher was David Wells when he was only 32 years old, before he was ever a Yankee. Can you believe Wells was ever 32 years old?
That's to say: It has been a long time since Reds fans have had the pure joy they've experienced in the past week. They went undefeated this week, all on the road, winning three games in Kansas City and then three more in Houston against the defending champion Astros. They've won eight in a row and are just a half-game out of first place. Out of all the National League Central teams, they're the highest in our Power Rankings. And when you look at this team play, it's clear: They're just getting started. |
