Oh yes it was. You may not have been but there were people here talking about the Pirates’ hot streak as legit. They cooled off and we shouldn’t be surprised to see the Reds cool off as well. They are relying a ton on rookies, unproven players, and well past their prime guys.
I’m not saying our lineup is good or anything, but I wouldn’t be using batting average to make your case in the year 2023.
