Hats Off Cincinnati
Posted on 19 Aug 2011 by Derrick Blyberg.
The Cincinnati Reds head into Pittsburgh for a weekend series after dropping two-out-of-three to the Washington Nationals in typical 2011 Reds fashion. The consistent failure to produce timely hitting has been a thorn the size of a California Redwood stuck in the club’s side. “That's been the story of the year,” Reds manager Dusty Baker said. “Get one guy hot one day. Get ano...

Look Over Yonder!
Posted on 9 Aug 2011 by Derrick Blyberg.
After watching the Cincinnati Reds play in person at Wrigley over the weekend, I finally became convinced that the door to the 2011 playoffs for the Reds has been slammed, sealed shut and possibly boarded up until Spring Training of 2012. Part of this realization came from Yonder Alonso’s one-man circus in left field and the continuing inconsistency of hitters to come through with runners i...

Is Jay Bruce the Best Player in the National League?
Posted on 27 May 2011 by Cliff Eastham.
Jay Bruce of the Cincinnati Reds may not be the best player in the league, but he certainly is having one of the best months. Although the Reds are in a nosedive, he has single-handedly tried to carry them on his back. Although the team is only 12-11 in May, Bruce is putting up Pujols-like numbers. In the 23 games so far this month, he is batting .344/.404/.744 with 10 HR and 27 RBI. He is curr...

Cincinnati Reds Should Make These Changes Immediately!
Posted on 23 May 2011 by Cliff Eastham.
The Cincinnati Reds are in a tailspin. Five straight losses constitute a tailspin, am I right? One week ago they led the National League Central Division by 1 ½ games, courtesy of a 3-game sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals. Now, after losing a 2-game series to the Pirates, and being swept by the Cleveland Indians, they find themselves 2 ½ games behind the front running Cardinals. They are also...

Reds Sweep Cardinals and Take Over First Place in NL Central
Posted on 18 May 2011 by Cliff Eastham.
AP Photo/ Al Behrman The Cincinnati Reds dozed a path directly to the top of the National League Central Division. Going into the weekend series with St. Louis they trailed the Cards by 1 ½ games. After sweeping their rivals the Reds found themselves atop the division by the same game and a half. The series with the Cards was a masterpiece to Reds fans. Cards’ skipper, Tony LaRussa did not m...

Cincinnati Reds Finish 4-2 Roadtrip; Activate Scott Rolen for Cardinal Series
Posted on 13 May 2011 by Cliff Eastham.
The Cincinnati Reds just returned home from a six-game road trip. They started the trek with a three game series at Wrigley Field where they bested the Chicago Cubs twice. They followed that up with a three game set in Houston against the last place Astros. After having won a series against the Astros in Cincinnati last week, the Reds threatened to sweep them in their own yard. It was the third...

Is Cincinnati Reds’ Joey Votto The Best Position-Player in the National League?
Posted on 3 May 2011 by Cliff Eastham.
There are some great players in the National League right now, St. Louis’ Albert Pujols, his early batting problems notwithstanding, and Ryan Braun of the Brewers, to name just a couple. The reigning MVP in the National League, Joey Votto of the Cincinnati Reds has started this season much like he finished last year. He is seventh in batting at .357, second in OBP with .492, tied for fifth in...

NL Central Division Looks Like a Year of Looking Over Your Shoulder
Posted on 28 Apr 2011 by Cliff Eastham.
Photo by Jeffrey Phelps/AP After 25 games or so, only 2.5 games separate the top five teams in the Central Division of the National League. What began looking like a wire-to-wire run as the top team, the Cincinnati Reds have faltered and won only four of their last 11 outings. They had lost two of three games to the St. Louis Cardinals over the weekend, and found themselves in third place in ...

Mike Leake Puts Troubles Behind Him and Helps Reds end 4-game Losing Streak
Posted on 22 Apr 2011 by Cliff Eastham.
Photo by Joe Robbins/Getty Images Mike Leake did not look like a 23-year old with legal problems and the baseball world inspecting him on a petri dish. The second-year former Arizona State Sun Devil picked up his third win of the season as the Reds beat the Diamondbacks 7-4 behind Joey Votto’s solo blast and a pair of 2-RBI games from Miguel Cairo and Paul Janish. Leake was arrested Monday fo...

Cincinnati Reds Lose Series to Pirates; Have Dropped 4 of last 5
Posted on 19 Apr 2011 by Cliff Eastham.
Photo by Al Behrman/AP The Pittsburgh Pirates sailed into Cincinnati and took three out of four games from the division-leading Reds. Kevin Correia pitched the second complete game of the series as the Bucs overwhelmed the Reds 9-3. Every Pirate's starter except Andrew McCutchen got 2 hits as they outhit the home team 15-4. The score looks closer than it really was because Chris Heisey hit a 2-...

2011 MLB Preview: Looking at Joey Votto and the Cincinnati Reds on Paper
Posted on 29 Mar 2011 by Adrian Fedkiw.
After three consecutive seasons of not eclipsing the 80-win plateau, the Reds came out of nowhere last season. They won 91 games and the NL Central crown. They have a very talented lineup and remind me a lot of the Philadelphia Phillies five years ago. Their Ryan Howard is Joey Votto, Brandon Phillips is Chase Utley, Jay Bruce is Jayson Werth and Drew Stubbs is Shane Victorino. The Reds led the...

Votto is Canadian Athlete of the Year
Posted on 16 Dec 2010 by Dave Allen.
Here's something even Joey Votto didn't anticipate. On December 14, it was announced that Votto was the winner of the 2010 Lou Marsh Award as Canada's Athlete of the Year. In a year where Canada won Olympic Hockey Gold, this was huge. “It almost would have been better if you'd given it to the national hockey team,” Votto told the Toronto Star. “I'm really honored to win this c...
