The Cincinnati Reds are 73 games into their 162 game trek through the 2026 Major League Baseball season. They’re inching closer to being half-done with this latest experiment, and that’s a sample size large enough to begin to make some objective observations. Some of them stick out like a sore thumb, particularly on the offensive […]

Matt McLain will start at shortstop for the Cincinnati Reds in Wednesday’s series finale against the New York Mets in Great American Ball Park. Nolan McLean will start on the mound for the Mets as they attempt to stave off the sweep attempt by the Reds. If McLain homers off McLean, I’m going to go […]
Sal Stewart turned around a meatball from Kodai Senga in the Bottom of the 1st inning, launching it 410 feet off the facade of the upper deck beyond the left field wall in Great American Ball Park on Tuesday night. Stewart, who was batting 3rd for the Cincinnati Reds on the night, did so after […]
The Cincinnati Reds are fresh off a 12-0 thumping of the New York Mets in last night’s series opener. Eugenio Suárez had his first true breakout game of the season – certainly his first one since returning from an oblique injury that cost him a month – and for the first time the offense looked […]

The Cincinnati Reds entered Monday night’s game against the New York Mets with the second worst run differential in all of Major League Baseball, second only to the woeful Colorado Rockies. Thanks to Eugenio Suárez, they improved that number by a boatload. Suárez socked a 2-run homer in the Bottom of the 1st inning to […]
The Cincinnati Reds are back in action on Monday night in Great American Ball Park after dropping Sunday’s series finale against the Arizona Diamondbacks. That loss canned the series for them, and they’ve now dropped five straight series overall as their precipitous fall down the NL Central standings continues. They’ll look to get back on […]
It’s going to be 97 degrees where I live on Wednesday. The dog days of summer are officially here. In the world of baseball, transaction season heats up with the weather. Such is the nature of establishing a trade deadline around the end of July – this season it’s on August 3rd – as teams […]
There was a blissful time when the Cincinnati Reds remembered how to hit. Elly De La Cruz was healthy and flourishing, Sal Stewart looked the part of the team’s next cornerstone in the box, Nathaniel Lowe looked like the bargain of the offseason, Spencer Steer couldn’t not get on base, and JJ Bleday was a […]
The Cincinnati Reds played the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday afternoon in Great American Ball Park in the rubber match of the series. By now, you’ll be able to recite how the game went. Cincinnati got an effective, albeit inefficient outing from their starting pitcher. Their offense was mostly inept, but gave just enough combined with […]
The Cincinnati Reds got off to a miracle start to the 2026 season only for their luck to effectively run out in May. Lefty Andrew Abbott, however, got off to a mostly miserable start to the 2026 season only for his fortunes to return as the end of April graced the calendar. It’s quite the […]
The list of things the Cincinnati Reds got on Saturday evening in Great American Ball Park amounts to a what’s what of things that have proven to be pitfalls for them so often over their last ~40 or so games. First, they put together some back to back hits with 2-outs, as Matt McLain socked […]
Here they come, here come the Redlegs! They are demons on wheels! They are demons and they’re gonna be chasing after someone! Today, those someones are the Arizona Diamondbacks, who are still in town after taking Friday night’s series opener in the most birthday-present of ways. They’ll be sending righty Mike Soroka to the mound, […]
You are still singularly focused on Cincinnati Reds baseball, and for that I applaud you (to a degree). They’ve lost key player after key player to injuries. They’ve nosedived from first place to dead last in the National League Central. They’ve found ways to lose that will make you absolutely rip out every hair on […]
The tension built steadily over a two and a half day window. That’s how long we had to wait to see the Cincinnati Reds blow a game on Friday night in a way so uniquely their own after the last time they blew a game in a way so uniquely their own. There’s blowing a […]
It will be a battle of southpaws in Great American Ball Park on Friday night, as the Cincinnati Reds and lefty Nick Lodolo play host to the Arizona Diamondbacks and Eduardo Rodriguez in the series opener. Cincinnati will finally get a shot to rinse out that miserable taste that’s been in their mouths since Fernando […]
Not that long ago, the Cincinnati Reds were nine games over the .500 mark. Even after a burp and a hiccup, this was still a team that was 29-25 through 54 games, a club that had absorbed some punches and returned a few in good measure. The last two weeks of baseball, though, have seen […]

Top Cincinnati Reds catching prospect Alfredo Duno is still just 20 years of age, but that’s not stopping him for a second from dominating High-A Midwest League pitching. To date, he’s hitting .266/.388/.526 (.914 OPS), and has chipped in with 11 doubles and 13 homers so far on the year. Only three hitters in the […]
Two of the big boppers on whom the Cincinnati Reds are depending with Elly De La Cruz sidelined stepped up late and did their parts in big, big ways, respectively. JJ Bleday, who deserves to be on the National League All Star team at this juncture, smashed a 391 foot solo homer off San Diego […]
Have yourself a seat in a comfortable spot and take a deep, deep breath. Here at Red Reporter, we are about to dive into some Brady Singer stats, and you need to prep for those before reading. Among the 128 MLB pitchers who have thrown at least 50 IP so far in 2026, Singer ranks […]
Into the wee hours of the morning went the Cincinnati Reds and San Diego Padres after their 9:40 PM ET start time on Tuesday evening in southern California, the second game of their three-game series heading to extras after neither team could quite figure out Chase Burns or Lucas Giolito, respectively. Tied at 2-2, the […]
Here are the Cincinnati Reds, in desperate need for their resident ace to give them a shot at turning around their season amid a dismal spate of terrible baseball. Here are the Cincinnati Reds, forced to call a 23 year old with just 20 career starts at the big league level to be their resident […]
You may recall Joel Kuhnel from his days with the Cincinnati Reds. Big guy, he is – listed at 6’5” and 290 lbs. He was an 11th round pick out of the University of Texas-Arlington, threw a heavy heater, and made it into 14 games with the Reds in 2019-2020 before injuries shut him down […]
If you managed to stay up late enough on Monday to watch the Cincinnati Reds lose to the San Diego Padres, I applaud you. I apologize to you for your pain and suffering, but I applaud you for your diligence. The Reds are an absolute mess right now. Depending on the depth of your parameters, […]
