Carlos Gonzalez: Five Tool Superstar
Posted on 5 Jun 2012 by Steve Folsom.
Carlos Gonzalez made history between Wednesday and Thursday last week when he hit a home run in four consecutive at bats. Several others have done this in Major League history, but never in Colorado Rockies history. His next official at bat, after an intentional walk, was only a double (if you have him in your fantasy leagues you might as well trade him because clearly he isn't hitting home r...

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...

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...

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 ...

Game One Thoughts
Posted on 6 Oct 2010 by Dave Allen.
The date was July 30, 2010. The teams were the Phillies and the Reds. The pitching matchup was Roy Halladay (9-6, 2.29) vs. Aaron Harang (6-7, 5.07). Who do you think won? If you said the Reds, you are right! Trailing 3-0 entering the bottom of the 6th, the Reds got a leadoff homer from Joey Votto to make it 3-1. Orlando Cabrera got a 1-out single to score Ramon Hernandez in the 7th to cut it ...

Reds Fall Back To 2nd In Spectacular Fashion
Posted on 21 May 2010 by Dave Allen.
Well, that was certainly unbelievable. It was one of those miracle comebacks that happen once or twice a year. And the nation got to watch it. Normally, I would write a bit of a recap, framed in the thoughts of a player. But this is my blog, so I decided to share my own thoughts here. In case you missed it, the Reds had an 8-0 lead over the Braves in the 3rd inning. Joey Votto had clubbed his f...

Heyward Shines vs. Reds
Posted on 20 May 2010 by Dave Allen.
Some losses are tougher to take than others. I don’t exactly know where Wednesday night’s 5-4 loss at Atlanta ranks, but I’d say at least an 8 on a scale of 1-10. The Reds had a few chances to score runs before they did some actual damage in the 8th. Their best chance came in the 5th when Aaron Harang began things with a lead-off double. Orlando Cabrera got him to 3rd on a ground out, but...

Reds Continue To Battle
Posted on 18 May 2010 by Dave Allen.
The Reds continued their run atop the Central Division with a 6-3 win over the Milwaukee Brewers, a day after they wrestled first place away from the St. Louis Cardinals. The Reds are passing all of the tests coming their way right now. The latest was to see if the team would let down after the jubilation of capturing first place had settled down. It would have been easy to overlook Milwaukee....

Reds Comeback Falls Short
Posted on 15 May 2010 by Dave Allen.
It’s too bad it had to end like that. With a chance to move into first place in the Central division, the Reds were putting together what they hoped would be another game-winning rally in their last at-bat, only to see it fizzle into a game-ending 6-4-3 double play. St. Louis had put together a 4-0 lead against starter Aaron Harang, but Cincinnati kept coming after them. Two runs in the 7th o...

Castro not ready for bigs
Posted on 11 May 2010 by Eddie Kim.
You might be thinking that it's easy for me to say that Starlin Castro is not ready for the major leagues, considering he just came off of a three-error game. But, physical errors are not what I am talking about. Physical errors are inevitable and given Castro's reputation as a good defender, they are not a large cause for concern. However, it's the mental errors which are concerning. After hav...
