AAAA Affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds
Watching Sal Stewart struggle for the first time as a big leaguer was rough. After ripping through the month of April and taking home National League Rookie of the Month honors, May greeted him with a dose of what happens when big league pitchers and coaches finally get to scout you in detail via big […]
In taking Tuesday night’s game over the Philadelphia Phillies in 4-1 fashion, the Cincinnati Reds have set themselves up for a chance to win a road series for the first time in a month. The last time they accomplished such a feat came on April 21st when they wrapped up a victory in the second […]
So far during the 2026 Major League Baseball season, the Cincinnati Reds have received a collective .207 wOBA from the 3B position. That ranks dead last in the entire league. That’s side by side with a 21 wRC+ (last), .157 average (last), .219 OBP (last), .229 SLG (last), and 12 RBI (last). It will likely […]
There has been ample to lament about the Cincinnati Reds of late. They endured that brutal 8-game losing streak, one that featured record walk rates, bullpen meltdowns, and even a trio of consecutive walk-off defeats. They came back up for air briefly, but rode into Tuesday evening’s game against the Philadelphia Phillies once again on […]
The Cincinnati Reds once again turn to Chase Burns as they look to stem a losing run, this time in Philadelphia as they take on the Phillies in the second game of this mid-week series. Sharing the mound with Burns to start is lefty Jesus Luzardo, who looked much better in his most recent start […]
It was not Kyle Schwarber who socked a backbreaking homer off the Cincinnati Reds on Monday night in Philadelphia. That honor went to Bryson Stott, who crushed Cincinnati’s dream of a come-from-behind victory with a 2-run shot off Graham Ashcraft in the Bottom of the 8th inning that turned a 4-3 Reds lead into a […]
The Cincinnati Reds need the real Nick Lodolo now more than ever. Short outings from starters over the last three games have left the bullpen to absorb a metric %@$& ton of pitches, and the bullpen has been rife with foibles for far too long. The pitching staff needs someone, anyone other than Chase Burns […]
The Cincinnati Reds take their tattered pitching staff further on their road show on Monday, this time to the City of Brotherly Love. That’s where they’ll find the Philadelphia Phillies, who so hot right now they’re shucking popcorn. Seriously, they were once 9-19 and fired their manager, yet since Don Mattingly took the helm they’ve […]
Another clunker from Cincinnati Reds starter Brady Singer on Sunday sunk most any chance of taking the series over the Cleveland Guardians. It also sunk the Reds further and further down the statistical leaderboards in most every pitching category, a place they’ve not been for most of the Derek Johnson Era. As of the morning […]
Nobody who watched the first week of Rece Hinds’ MLB career will ever forget it. Most everybody who watched it will use it as a measuring stick for the debut of any other player, so rife was it with gargantuan homers and pinpoint precision with his powerful swing. If only things had managed to keep […]
The Chris Paddack era begins tonight in Cleveland for the Cincinnati Reds at 6:10 PM ET. Here’s how both clubs will line up to start. Today’s Lineups REDS GUARDIANS Dane Myers – CF Daniel Schneemann – CF Elly De La Cruz – SS Jose Ramirez – 3B Sal Stewart – 1B Chase DeLauter – DH […]
There was once a time where saying the Cincinnati Reds are going to have Chris Paddack starting for them tonight would have inspired a big pile of confidence. Back before the 2019 season, for instance, he was rated as high as the #34 overall prospect in the sport by MLB Pipeline, was a consensus Top […]
The Cincinnati Reds got another solid start from lefty Andrew Abbott, got a homer from Matt McLain and one more huge performance from JJ Bleday, and managed to hand over a 6-1 lead to the heart of their bullpen on Friday night in the Ohio Cup opener against the Cleveland Guardians. Sounds pretty straightforward, right? […]
The Cincinnati Reds are on the road to take on the Cleveland Guardians this fine Friday evening, and they’ll do with lefty Andrew Abbott on the mound. He’ll be opposed by Cleveland starter Tanner Bibee, with first pitch set to fly at 7:10 PM ET. Lineups for both clubs listed below as the 2026 Ohio […]
The 2026 Cleveland Guardians are, for the most part, precisely the kind of team the Cleveland Guardians have come to always be. They don’t hit for a ton of power – their 42 homers rank 19th overall, their .136 ISO 22nd. They do, though, walk a lot (11.2%, 4th in the game), and they avoid […]
The Cincinnati Reds offense needed a blowout in the worst of ways, and boy, did it ever get one on Thursday in Great American Ball Park. After having dropped a pair of regrettable games to the rebuilding Washington Nationals to already clinch losing yet another home series, the Reds exploded against Nats starter Foster Griffin […]
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 […]
