Last week, I wrote about the low bar the Reds have set for a somewhat respectable finish. The Reds need to sweep their final series of the season to avoid 100 losses. If the Reds get swept by the Cubs in Cincinnati. Like they were over the weekend in Chicago. The 2022 Reds will set a new franchise record for the most losses in a season.
