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...

MLB’s Madcap May Madness
Posted on 29 May 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
What in the name of George Herman Ruth is going on in baseball? The Cleveland Indians are still leading the pack (largest margin of any division leader and tied for second-best record in the majors) after two months of play. Eventually someone has to either call them contenders or let Cleveland know that they can’t be playing this well. Mariano Rivera (13 SV, 1.71 ERA and the greatest closer...

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...

Opening Home Series Ends Dramatically
Posted on 11 Apr 2011 by Josh Robbins.
The Diamondbacks opened their 2011 home schedule on Friday night by routing the Cincinnati Reds, 13-2 at Chase Field. Ian Kennedy (1-0) pitched eight superb innings limiting the Reds dynamic offense to 6H/ 1R/ 1B/ 9K. The right-hander threw 104 pitches, 73 strikes in his second start of the season. Three home runs by Justin Upton, Kelly Johnson, and Chris Young were more than enough support....

Pirates pitching woes go back decades
Posted on 13 Oct 2010 by Jim Keller.
The Pittsburgh Pirates have many areas to seek improvement, but there biggest need is starting pitching. Will the Pirates get any return at all from the hoards of pitchers GM Neal Huntington has brought to the ‘Burgh over the last few seasons? Will Rudy Owens or Jeff Locke be able to help next season, and how long will it take fire-balling 2010 draftees James Taillon and Allie Ste...

Positive News
Posted on 30 Aug 2010 by Dave Allen.
It seems like every time I post something about the Reds, it's negative. Maybe my blood gets to boiling after a disappointing loss or series and I just have to write something. But not today. Not after the Reds finished off the Cubs to win yet another series, and improve their record to 20-games over .500. Can you believe it? I've been covering this team since spring training began in Arizona. ...

First Half Fantasy Surprises Pt 2.- Pitchers
Posted on 19 Jul 2010 by Trevor Stewart.
Pitchers are often a revolving door in fantasy baseball. You ride the hot streaks, then add and drop them like hot cakes, except for a few studs that either seem to never have bad games (i.e. Roy Halladay, Felix Hernandez, or Cliff Lee), or guys you know will bounce back and are worth the temporary slump in the end (i.e. Johan Santana, Francisco Liriano). But there are some pitchers you just di...

Weekend opportunity for Reds
Posted on 14 May 2010 by Dave Allen.
The Reds are back home to begin what is arguably their most important series in the last three seasons as they take on the St. Louis Cardinals. This is quite honestly the position many thought they would be in at this point in the season. Against the backdrop of what will be the Gillette Civil Rights Game on Saturday, the Reds begin the weekend a mere half-game behind the division-leading Cardi...

Can anybody out here play this game?
Posted on 24 Apr 2010 by Dave Allen.
“Can anybody out here play this game?” Casey Stengel asked that question when he managed the 1962 New York Mets in their inaugural season. Those words had to come to the minds of veteran Reds fans watching Saturday’s mess of a game at GABP. I had an enjoyable morning Saturday at the local park watching teams of 8-year-olds play. Some were in their first season of organized baseball, and i...

Fish pound Reds
Posted on 15 Apr 2010 by Dave Allen.
With a fastball that seemed to scream “HIT ME!!” on its way to the plate, the Florida Marlins beat up Reds starter Aaron Harang (L, 0-2) in a 10-2 Marlins win on Thursday night. Harang was hitting 93 mph on the radar gun, but his fastball looked flat and the Fish took advantage with eight runs on 10 hits in a little over four innings. Harang’s breaking stuff seemed to be working well, but...
