Once again the Reds travel to California near the top of the division, once again play lots of extra innings, and once again come away winless. What is it with California that makes the bats go cold? Is it time change difference? Maybe the different style of play? The warm weather? Whatever it is, it isn't good.
Since 2006, the Reds have won just one series on the west coast, and have compiled a 1-10-1 series record over the past 12 series with an 11-28 record overall. In this time, the Redlegs are winless against the Dodgers, 4-9 against the Padres, and 5-6 against the Giants. The Reds played two inter-league series in 2007 against the Mariners and A's and finished 2-6.
It seems like every year the team heads out to the coast at or near the top of the central, return a few slots lower, and are never able to make up the lost ground. If the Reds are gonna compete for the central, they're gonna have to win on the road.
