Game 45: Reds at Guardians (6:10 PM ET) – Paddack vs. Cantillo

Chris Paddack set for Reds debut on Saturday vs. Guardians

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 […]

Reds hang on for 7-6 win over Guardians in Ohio Cup opener

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? […]

Game 45: Reds at Guardians (7:10 PM ET) – Abbott vs. Bibee

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 […]

Andrew Abbott takes the mound as Reds face Guardians in Ohio Cup

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 […]

Huge day from JJ Bleday leads Reds in 15-1 rout of Nationals

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 […]

The Cincinnati Reds offense is actually a Statcast darling

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 […]

Game 44: Reds vs. Nationals (12:40 PM ET) – Burns vs. Griffin

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 […]

Reds blow game five different ways in crushing loss to Nationals

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 […]

Game 43: Reds vs. Nationals (6:40 PM ET) – Lodolo vs. Irvin

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 […]

Reds move up Elly De La Cruz, Sal Stewart in lineup shuffle

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 […]

MLB

Cincinnati Reds to sign pitcher Chris Paddack

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 […]

The Cincinnati Reds bullpen is a mess

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 […]

Game 42: Reds vs. Nationals (6:40 PM ET) – Singer vs. Mikolas

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 […]

Brady Singer starts as Reds look to whip Nationals in opener

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 […]

Let Elly De La Cruz bat leadoff for the Reds

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 […]

Reds set rotation for Chase Petty recall as Rhett Lowder heads to IL

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. […]

Reds shrug off last week’s troubles, down Astros to win series

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 […]

MLB

Cincinnati starter Rhett Lowder to be placed on injured list

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, […]

Game 41: Reds vs. Astros (1:40 PM ET) – Abbott vs. Teng

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 […]

Chase Burns might yet save the Cincinnati Reds season

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 […]

MLB

Game 40: Reds vs. Astros (4:10 PM ET) – Burns vs. Arrighetti

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. […]

Cincinnati Reds turn to Chase Burns amid epic losing streak

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 […]

Reds smoked by Astros in 10-0 drubbing for 8th straight loss

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 […]

MLB

Game 39: Reds vs. Astros (6:10 PM ET) – Lodolo vs. Burrows

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 […]
