AAAA Affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds
The Cincinnati Reds ran their win streak to three games on Monday with a hotly contested 2-0 shutout victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates in the series opener between the NL Central rivals in Great American Ball Park. Of note was the manner in which the Reds won, as Chase Burns got his first start of […]
Chase Burns will make his season debut for the Cincinnati Reds in Great American Ball Park on Monday night, and he’ll do so with the Pittsburgh Pirates in town for an NL Central clash. First pitch is set for 6:40 PM ET, and the lineups are listed below. Go Reds! Today’s Lineups PIRATES REDS Oneil […]
You may recall some of the highlights (and lone true lowlight) of Chase Burns’ rookie campaign in 2025. He began his year in late June by striking out just about every single New York Yankee that came to the plate against him only to get lit up by a Boston Red Sox club in his […]
Sal Stewart hit 5 homers for the Cincinnati Reds once called upon for the stretch run of the 2025 season, and he backed it up with a pair of hits (and 4 RBI) in Cincinnati’s brief postseason play against the Los Angeles Dodgers. People saw him. People became aware of him. The brash rookie in […]
It had been a bit of a slow start to the season for Eugenio Suárez entering play on Sunday. It’s hard to fault him for it, of course, as he’d been away on the roller coaster that was Team Venezuela’s victory in the World Baseball Classic and had far from the typical spring training warm-up. […]
Rhett Lowder returns to the mound for the Cincinnati Reds for the first time after his lost 2025 season, and does so with a series victory over the Boston Red Sox on the line. First pitch is slated for 1:40 PM ET. Lineups are listed below. Go Reds! Today’s Lineups RED SOX REDS Roman Anthony […]
The Cincinnati Reds got their first win of the 2026 on Saturday, and it came in dramatic fashion. Dane Myers laced a liner into LF in the Bottom of the 11th, and that was deep enough for TJ Friedl to race home from 2B ahead of the throw in from Boston Red Sox star Roman […]
There was ample action in Great American Ball Park on Saturday, and the end result was a 6-5 victory by the Cincinnati Reds over the Boston Red Sox. Dane Myers swatted a single over the shortstop – a replacement shortstop, I should add – in the Bottom of the 11th inning for his first hit, […]
Sonny Gray returns to Great American Ball Park to face his former team as the Cincinnati Reds play host to the Boston Red Sox on Saturday afternoon. Lineups are listed below. Go Reds! Today’s Lineups RED SOX REDS Roman Anthony – LF TJ Friedl – CF Trevor Story – SS Matt McLain – 2B Jarren […]
It was January of 2019 when the Cincinnati Reds sent prospect Shed Long and a Competitive Balance pick to the New York Yankees to acquire right-hander Sonny Gray, the former Oakland A’s ace and 2015 All Star. He had struggled mightily since landing in the Bronx, yet Cincinnati pitching guru Derek Johnson – who had […]
The Los Angeles Dodgers won a World Series title in the abbreviated 2020 season, doing so with the likes of Clayton Kershaw, Cody Bellinger, Walker Buehler, Justin Turner, Kenley Jansen, and Corey Seager as key parts of their core. Every last one of those players is now gone, with all but Kershaw having skipped town […]
The Cincinnati Reds got a rock solid start by Andrew Abbott in his first career start on Opening Day. The left-handed All Star fired 6.0 IP of scoreless ball, but the problem was that the Boston Red Sox similarly had an All Star lefty on the mound in Garrett Crochet. Crochet kept Cincinnati just as […]
Andrew Abbott will take the mound at Great American Ball Park and chuck the first pitch of the 2026 regular season for the Cincinnati Reds today. He’ll do so with budding Boston Red Sox superstar Roman Anthony in the box against him, as that’s who will lead off for Cincinnati’s opposition today. First pitch is […]
Opening Day in Cincinnati has finally arrived! After a long winter where we were left to ponder whether the Cincinnati Reds, who actually snuck into the playoffs for a minute in 2025, were going to take a giant leap forward in 2026 as their roster entered a fourth full year together post-rebuild. Today, we get […]
When was the last time the Cincinnati Reds rolled into a season on such an upswing? They made the playoffs last year. Even after they did that, they didn’t immediately lose half their roster to free agency, or have their minuscule budget force them to trade away key stars. They’ve got a Hall of Fame […]
Garrett Crochet came to the Boston Red Sox from the Chicago White Sox in a move that surely made the southsiders groan and throw everything within reach as far as possible. All Crochet did once settling in Beantown was post a 6.3 bWAR season that featured and AL-best 205.1 IP and MLB-best 255 Ks, efforts […]
We don’t yet know when, or if Jose Franco will take the mound for the Cincinnati Reds, but we do now know he’s going to have a very good opportunity to do so within the next two weeks. With Opening Day set for tomorrow – Thursday, March 26th – and with Nick Lodolo needing a […]
Up the river and around the bend, past Huntington and Parkersburg, Wheeling and Steubenville, the Pittsburgh Pirates finally have a little rumble in their bellies. Cincinnati’s NL Central rivals have Paul Skenes, ace extraordinaire, the reigning Cy Young Award winner in the National League. They have Konnor Griffin on the cusp of his debut, the […]
The good news is that Cincinnati Reds lefty Nick Lodolo isn’t really injured, per se. He’s once again dealing with a blister issue on his left (throwing) hand, one that popped up in his final appearance of Cactus League action down in Arizona during a record-touching heat wave. Apparently, though, it’s bad enough that they […]
Just when you thought Joey Votto had retired to a quiet beach somewhere, content to read Verne and Hiaasen and learn four new languages, he has popped back up on the radar of the Cincinnati Reds once again. In typical Votto fashion, he did so with brilliant, understated style. According to MLB.com’s Mark Sheldon, he […]
The 2026 Major League Baseball season will reportedly begin tomorrow, March 25th, when the San Francisco Giants take on the New York Yankees in the hallowed grounds of the Bronx. (We all know the season doesn’t really begin until the next day when the Cincinnati Reds play host to the Boston Red Sox at Great […]
The Cincinnati Reds got bogus news early in spring camp when Hunter Greene needed elbow surgery to remove bone spurs, setting back their ace until the All Star break in July. Aside from that doozy, though, things had mostly been OK on the injury front (aside from Caleb Ferguson’s oblique issue). As the heat ramped […]
Per MLB.com’s own glossary, xwOBA is described as a metric “formulated using exit velocity, launch angle and, on certain types of batted balls, Sprint Speed.” “xwOBA is more indicative of a player’s skill than regular wOBA, as xwOBA removes defense from the equation.” It’s an expected stat, meaning that it’s based more on process than […]
Cincinnati Reds lefty starter Nick Lodolo has repeatedly dealt with blister issues on his left index finger, and left index finger blisters are pretty problematic when you are a lefty starter. On Sunday in his final start of Cactus League play before Thursday’s Opening Day in Cincinnati, Lodolo was forced to exit after facing only […]
The Cincinnati Reds made official on Saturday what we’d anticipated regarding their roster, officially informing non-roster invitee Nathaniel Lowe that he would make the Opening Day roster. Cincinnati also opted to include Sam Moll, who is out of options, while using the existing minor league options on spring standouts JJ Bleday, Rece Hinds, and Zach […]
