Reds getting beat up in the Big Apple
The road trip started off ok, splitting with the Braves and then for a moment it looked like the Reds could have swept the Mets. Then a bunch of runs were given up by guys that just don't give up runs (Lurch and the Missile). So many fans thought by splitting this road trip at 3 and 4 would be a success, I was hoping for the opposite. A 4 and 3 road trip would have set the Reds up nicely when they returned home. So, in order for that to happen the Reds are going to need to take the next two from the Yankees. It could be a long weekend... … [Read More...]
All Star Game in Cincinnati
With the announcement of the Mets receiving the All Star game for next year I’ve been thinking, ok maybe stewing over the fact that the Reds haven’t received one in the new ball park. It seems like most teams get an All Star game soon after they build a new stadium but Great American was opened in 2003 and still hasn’t gotten one. I don’t understand why MLB wouldn’t want the second biggest event in baseball in the city that had the first pro baseball team. Great American is a beautiful ballpark and would be a great place for the MLB to show off. From what I’ve … [Read More...]

Huge win on the road against the Braves
There is a mystery around Homer Bailey. Some fans scream for his head while others are optimistic that he is going to come around. Last night Homer faced an Atlanta Braves team that is one of the hottest in baseball. They just finished sweeping the Cardinals and in the process scored 23 runs. I was nervous that the Braves bats were going to crush Bailey. However, Bailey comes out and throws a solid 6 and 2/3 innings giving up just one earned run. The Reds bats while still struggling at crucial times were able to get a 3 spot on the board and take this first game against the Braves. I … [Read More...]
Can one bat keep you in the game?
In steps Joey Votto, already has two home runs and a double in the game. The Reds are down one in the bottom of the ninth and the bases are loaded. 2 balls and 2 strikes and Joey gets a high fastball. Walk off grand slam. VIDEO On a day when most of the Reds were struggling at the plate, Votto comes through with 4 hits (3 home runs and a double) and 6 RBI's. The Reds also picked up a game on the cardinals and travel to ATL to face the Braves in a 2 game series starting tonight. … [Read More...]
Off day observations
With the off day and the Reds seemingly on a roll I thought I would take a post to look at how the Reds are faring so far this season. First, the Reds have arguably the best pitcher in Baseball at the top of their rotation. With a 1.12 ERA, Cueto is the second best staring pitcher in baseball (based on ERA alone.) He has 4 wins compared to the 0 wins Dempster (1.02 ERA) has. Cueto started yesterday in Milwaukee and faced off against Zack Greinke. Both left the game as a shutout and the Reds were able to score two runs in the top of the ninth for the win. In the last week, Drew … [Read More...]

RLW Episode 09 – How Great is our Pitching?
The bats for the Cincinnati Reds went quiet on Saturday night vs. the Pirates but they came to life Sunday afternoon as the Reds won 5-0 and took the series from Pittsburgh. Mat Latos struck out a career high 11 batters on Sunday and looked like the frontline starting pitcher the Reds traded for this offseason. … [Read More...]
The Reds move on to the next town
After taking two of three from the Pirates, the Reds find themselves 2.5 games behind the Cardinals in the division and 1 game over .500. Mat Latos looked shaky from the start. After loading the bases in the first with two walks and a hit batter, he had to pitch his way out of the jam with 1 out in the inning. After that Latos caught fire and ended up with 11 strikeouts and no runs, another solid outing for Latos. Todd Frazier had an amazing catch at third filling in for Rolen and helped to keep at least two Pittsburgh runs from crossing the plate. Frazier added a rocket home run to an … [Read More...]

Late game heroics send the Reds off on a positive
The Reds begin a 6 game road trip against division foes tonight with Johnny Cueto facing off with Kevin Correia of the Pirates. After that 3 game series the Reds travel to Milwaukee in a 3 game series. Cincinnati is currently sitting at .500 and second in the division. They are 3.5 games behind the Cardinals and could make up some ground as well as distance themselves from the other teams in the division on this road trip. The Bats looked to have been back until the two games against the Cubs. However the Reds were able to pull out a win in the final game thanks to … [Read More...]
