In the world of Major League Baseball, your team has to beat divisional opponents or they will never have any success in this league. For Cincinnati, this continues to be true thus far in 2025 and it’s the same story year after year. While there is time to turn it around, the inability to beat the Cubs or Brewers gives me the same feeling I’ve had for over a decade – “Less than Mediocre”. For the last five years, I’d hate to even look at the Reds’ record against divisional opponents. I nearly searched it, but I won’t put either of us through that statistic. Until Cincinnati can find success against the Cubs, Brewers, Cardinals, and Pirates collectively, this team will continue to struggle.
