Looks like the team might be starting to roll now that they are playing the schedule and not having the rain/snow delays.

division is pretty tight so far too, we'll see if everyone keeps it together the whole year (hopefully not)

also, the reds have only won 6 games!?!

First place in the NL Central!! They appear to be rolling. Winners of 5 in a row and 8 of their last 10.

12th winning percentage in baseball and 4th in the division. Not even a wild card team if the playoffs started today. They are playing good and their win differential shows the record is legitimate, unlike some other teams, but this early season rankings fluke is entertaining to me.

I still can't get concerned. Yes, we are basically 25% into the season and they are in 4th place in the division. Their current winning percentage would have won the division last year. It is still early and like their odds of holding, or improving, their winning percentage a lot better then the three teams ahead of them.
