They’re Doing the Chop!

I’ll never forget Jack Buck saying that phrase in his gravelly, distinct voice when the Tomahawk Chop became a big deal in the 90’s.  Truth be told, the Reds have gotten the beat down from the Braves much of the last 15 years.  The Reds have the worst winning percentage against the Braves (.392) [166 games] of any of their opponents since 1991 (minimum 15 games).  It bears noting that Cincinnati has an overall winning percentage of (.490) since 1991 [1300 wins - 1352 losses]

  • Cleveland (.431) [51 games]
  • Houston  (.463) [245 games] – it feels like the winning percentage is half this amount. 
  • NY Mets (.452) [146 games]
  • LA Dodgers (.455) [156 games]

This year, however, Cincinnati has picked themselves off the mat and are 5-1 against Chief Knockahoma’s crew.  It feels gooood.  Keep chopping them down, Reds.

  • Great night by Stanton tonight.  It’s been a while but he did well this night.
  • I really enjoyed watching Marty and Thom singing the anthem together tonight.  The fans didn’t know what to think of it, but it was fun.
