AAAA Affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds
You are perpetually judged on results in the business of baseball. Wins are ultimately what matter to fans (and most owners), and flags fly forever. Chasing results, however, is an administrative tactic of the past. Front offices, at least I hope, don’t go sign a guy because he had 112 RBI the season before. Even […]
Well then. The Cincinnati Reds have fumbled the first two games of this series away, the Washington Nationals being perfectly positioned to recover them. So, once again, the Reds will turn to young Chase Burns needing him to perform a miracle just to rescue them from worst-case scenario. After Wednesday’s blown 5-run lead and debacle […]
Cincinnati Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson destroyed a ball for a grand slam in the Bottom of the 1st inning tonight in Great American Ball Park, the blast giving the Reds an early 5-0 lead. This, of course, came just a day after they were run ragged by a rebuilding Washington Nationals club 10-4 in the […]
Cincinnati Reds lefty Nick Lodolo is back on the mound for his second start of the 2026 season after blisters cost him the entirety of the month of April. He’ll face the Washington Nationals, who pummelled Reds pitching for six homers in the series opener on Tuesday in Great American Ball Park. The Reds will […]
Owners of the worst production from the leadoff spot in all of Major League Baseball, the Cincinnati Reds have finally, mercifully seen enough of the way their old lineup produced. Ahead of Wednesday’s game against the Washington Nationals, manager Terry Francona bumped up the stars of his lineup a slot and began to stack the […]
The attrition within the Cincinnati Reds starting rotation has, apparently, finally become too much to bear. Hunter Greene is out until the All Star break, while Brandon Williamson only recently got sent to the 60-day IL for his shoulder ailment. Rhett Lowder, meanwhile, heard ‘clicking’ in his shoulder during his last start, and while an […]
Visitors to Great American Ball Park on Tuesday night were greeted with a barrage of baseballs in the stands. Unfortunately, none of them were socked by the Cincinnati Reds. Instead, the Reds themselves offered up six homers to the visiting Washington Nationals in a 10-4 drubbing that once again served as a reminder to just […]
Tonight’s a great night for the Cincinnati Reds to shell Miles Mikolas for about 9 runs on 5 dingers. Well, any night is a great night to see that happen to the Washington Nationals starter, but tonight’s the Reds chance. Brady Singer starts. First pitch is set for 6:40 PM ET. Here’s how these two […]
Expunge just about everything from the baseball that was played last week, and the Cincinnati Reds might end up just fine. They are, after all, still 22-19 on the season, 3 games over the .500 mark though 41 games and still very much in a half-decent position despite finding themselves buried in the run differential […]
The Cincinnati Reds have a leadoff problem, and they’re well aware of it. As TJ Friedl struggled through one of the worst stretches of his (or anyone’s) career, we watched as manager Terry Francona lightly shuffled his lineup over the weekend as the Reds eschewed their recent 8-game losing streak and managed to win the […]
The Cincinnati Reds have the day off on Monday after Sunday afternoon’s series-winning victory over the Houston Astros. They also have a much clearer picture of how their banged-up starting rotation will look this upcoming week as they welcome the Washington Nationals to Cincinnati before heading up to Cleveland for a series over the weekend. […]
Let’s just go ahead and forget almost everything that happened during the first week of the month of May, shall we? Fresh off a streak-busting victory over the Houston Astros on Saturday spearheaded by Chase Burns, it was once again a Cincinnati Reds starter that fueled a win on Sunday. This time, it was 2025 […]
Rhett Lowder exited his start early on Thursday, escorted off the mound by a trainer after walking back to back batters to start back to back innings. Reports at the time indicated that he’d felt ‘clicking’ in his right shoulder, though the good news came on Friday when his MRI results came back clean. Still, […]
The Cincinnati Reds, believe it or not, have a chance to win a series on Sunday in Great American Ball Park. After stumbling their way through one of the more painful losing streaks in recent memory, they finally found their way back into the win column on Saturday, and on Sundy they’ll send a 2025 […]
The Cincinnati Reds are an absolute wreck. The Cincinnati Reds are 1.5 games out of a playoff spot. The Cincinnati Reds pitching staff owns the single worst xERA in baseball (5.21). The Cincinnati Reds are two games over .500. The Cincinnati Reds have a team wRC+ of 87, fourth worst in baseball and ahead of […]
Nothing, and I do mean nothing has gone right for the Cincinnati Reds for the better part of two weeks. On Saturday, they’ll once again get the chance to show they’re better than they’ve been during this brutal 8-game losing streak, and they’ll fortunately have their resident ace on the mound in young Chase Burns. […]
Chase Burns emerged from Wake Forest University with the reputation of being a legitimate ace, a guy who at dawn on the fifth day would ride in from the east at first light to rescue his team from the depths of hell. A guy who, amid a horrid losing streak, could take the mound and […]
The Cincinnati Reds were absolutely smoked by the Houston Astros to the tune of 10-0 on Friday night in Great American Ball Park, the loss stretching this agonizing losing streak to 8 games (so far). Nick Lodolo returned and looked mostly ok, though he did get touched up for a pair of 2-run homers in […]
I don’t know the first thing about the Houston Astros this year, and I don’t care. The Cincinnati Reds need to beat ‘em tonight, and beat’ em up good. First pitch will be chucked by Nick Lodolo, finally, as he makes his 2026 debut. First pitch is set for 6:10 PM ET. Lineups for both […]
What a week for the Cincinnati Reds, eh? They got trounced by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the series opener at PNC Park last Friday only to wake up Saturday, walk seven batters in a row, and allow 17 runs in a loss. They wrapped up getting swept in that three-game series on Sunday only to […]
The Cincinnati Reds entered play against the Chicago Cubs on Thursday afternoon in Wrigley Field mired in an ugly 6-game losing streak. Said streak featured a Saturday game against the Pittsburgh Pirates in which they walked seven consecutive batters en route to a 17-7 loss, and the first three games of the series against the […]
The Cincinnati Reds look to salvage a game from this brutal series against the Chicago Cubs on Thursday afternoon in a vintage Wrigley Field matinee. Rhett Lowder starts for the Reds opposite Cubs lefty Shota Imanaga, and the Reds have tweaked their lineup according. Elly De La Cruz also gets his first start at DH […]
It’s a headline that’s grammatically difficult to write. It’s a concept that’s rationally hard to stomach. The Cincinnati Reds have lost back, to back, to back games to the Chicago Cubs to begin this four-game series, and they’ve been walked-off in all three of them. The last two of them have even come in extra-innings. […]
Brady Singer needs a good outing. The Cincinnati Reds need a good outing. The vibes, they are not good on this five-game slide. They’ve lost back to back games on walk-offs after having the game in their lap both times. Tejay Antone is back, which is an insanely good positive boost to said vibes. The […]
It’s never good news to find out that your team’s closer is going to be sidelined with a serious hamstring injury, and it’s definitely no fun to hear that he may be out for most of two months. However, given how bad last night’s injury looked for Cincinnati Reds closer Emilio Pagan, that’s actually a […]
