I think we might be seeing 3 or 4 consistently good rotation guys for the Reds.
DeSclafani might be a little more vulnerable than he has shown. He got away with some sloppy pitches against a bad Brewers offense. I will be interested to see if he can pitch with men on base.
Several parts of this team have emerged that aren't likely a trend.
They are going to strike out too much and they're too slow on the bases.
Hamilton is not going to hit better than he did in the past, sadly. He hasn't learned to bunt and he seems content to do everything but that.
Bruce and Byrd are going to be generally useless for lineup churn.
The bench still coughs up chunks.
I see "Gimpy" Gregg has survived the storm and is still on the roster despite showing us that he's not going to be better. Parra, Hoover and Bad-Hop are just going to break our hearts. Jumbo might actually pull
it together.
I'd see a 5-7 out of the next dozen, assuming a split with the Brewers and maybe 2 of 3 from the Cubbians.
