By Slyde Rain might be a factor today, which is a shame since it's the 4th of July and all.  It'd be nice if Bronson could follow up his last start against the Indians with more of the same.  The bad news on Bergmann is that he hasn't given up more than one earned run in any of his last three starts.  The good ne...

By Jeff Gentil Thinking out loud (or in a blog) today… I was very fearful Dusty would overthink and put the lefty Bako in for Ross last night to face Capps.  Thankfully, he didn’t.  I have SO much more confidence in Ross than I do in Bako. Javy Valentin does not get cheated in his cuts.  I’ve never seen anyone tak...

By Rick House Junior's shot was the Reds' first and only walk-off hit in June, although that has a lot to do with a 5-game home losing streak and two road trips of at least 8 games.

By Slyde The upcoming 7-game home stand is crucial to that end.  First they play 3 against the Pirates.  A sweep would put the Pirates in last place all alone and could manage to bump the Reds all the way up to fourth (depending on how the Astros do against the Dodgers).  After the Pirates, Leatherpants b...

By Administrator In 1938, in the first night game played in Brooklyn, Reds’ hurler Johnny Vander Meer pitched his second consecutive no-hitter… beating the Dodgers, 6-0.

By Administrator The Red Sox last visited Cincinatti during the 1975 World Series (still the greatest WS ever played, in my opinion, but I am biased).

Two more runs were scored on two bad plays by Ken Griffey Jr. in the bottom of the fifth.

Next up was Shane Victorino, who sent a b...

By Andrew Kappes After Arroyo plowed through the first inning, the Reds put the game out of reach in their half.

By Peter Bendix Major league baseball players accumulate one year of service time by being on the 25-man roster for 172 days (not including the postseason).

By Jim McLennan This game was, frankly, an embarrassment. I know we may not have been able to get much in the way of advance scouting information on a guy making his major-league debut. But, even so: getting one hit off the debutant Johnny Cueto in seven innings, taking no walks and striking out ten times - the...

By Jim McLennan The defense also deserves credit for an almost-flawless performance, the only mistake probably being Young misplay of a ball that skidded past him on the wet outfield grass, all the way to the wall for a triple that drove in the Reds' first run, and set the table for the second, making it a 3-...

By Andrew Kappes Votto became an immediate fan favorite in Cincinnati, and for good reason. There wasn’t a whole lot of hype surrounding Votto when he was working his way through the minors (unlike Homer Bailey), and many connected to this 24-year old Canadian’s hard-working, can-do attitude. Votto’s na...

By Al Here's the guy who's been the real ace of the Cub pitching staff all year long. He has made thirty-one starts, and except for the June 10 game in Atlanta where he was ejected in the first inning, he's thrown six or more innings in 23 of the other 30. Impressive.
