Reply : This is an ingrained way of thinking in Cincinnati that needs to change. We all need to stop looking down on the Pirates and thinking of them as easy wins on the schedule. Why haven’t the Pirates earned our respect?
They’re now 36-25 vs. the Reds since 2022 after taking 2 of 3 against Cincinnati this week. In the past decade, the Reds have almost as many last-place finishes in the NL Central (four) as the Pirates (five).
