The Cincinnati Reds have officially been eliminated from playoff opportunities in 2018.  We’ll play out the season and test new prospects for next year.  Next year.  Always and again next year.  But watch out.  There’s always next year. It is only 164 days until spring training day and 197 from Reds Opening Day.  Not that I’m counting or anything.  Go Reds!
