"I was hurt that whole year. But just seeing it, I think we were kind of playing do-or-die, survival games pretty much every game leading up, like you said, into the last game of the year, So we were kind of already in playoff mode the last two, three weeks where every game we felt like we needed to win. It's whoever gets hot, and the playoffs are a crapshoot. So I think you just never know. Anyone can beat anyone on any given night. And, like I said, we've been playing do-or-die baseball now for what feels like the last month or two. I think we can use that to our advantage."
"The Cincinnati Reds are back in the playoffs for the first time since the 2020 season and now have the tough task of facing the defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Wild Card Series at Dodger Stadium. It represents the second matchup between the teams in MLB postseason history, with the only previous meeting coming in the 1995 NL Division Series."
The Cincinnati Reds returned to the postseason for the first time since 2020 and will play the defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL Wild Card Series at Dodger Stadium. The matchup is only the second postseason meeting between the franchises, the first being the 1995 NLDS. The Reds carried a 26-man roster with 12 pitchers and 14 position players, including Gavin Lux, who hit .269/.350/.374 with 28 doubles, five home runs and 53 RBI in 140 games. The team finished with 83 wins and earned the third NL Wild Card on the final day. Hunter Greene and Zack Littell are slated to start Games 1 and 2, Andrew Abbott would start a potential Game 3, and Nick Lodolo will pitch from the bullpen.
