AAAA Affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds
Many a Cincinnati Reds season has seen the club hold its own, keep its head above water, and even position itself to be one of the premier clubs in the National League Central…only for the team to head west to face their old National League West rivals and see their season implode in short order. […]
The Cincinnati Reds lost to the St. Louis Cardinals again on Sunday. Much like Saturday’s loss, the team scraped and clawed their way to the game still being tight late, only for the bullpen to fork over the game in the 8th inning. The bullpen is a problem, yes. There are simply too few arms […]
It would be pretty damn McGroovy if the Cincinnati Reds could find a way to pick themselves up off the mat and fight their way back into the 2026 season. Because lately, they’ve looked like a floundering club that’s taken too many blows to make that possible. Yeah, they’re without Elly De La Cruz and […]
The Cincinnati Reds have finally brought up a reinforcement on good terms, rather than out of necessity. The last place club has seen their pitching ranks decimated by injuries, and the churn they’ve been going through in that time has seen arms brought up for stints and designated for assignment just to free up roster […]
Sam Moll hasn’t really been a problem for the 2026 version of the Cincinnati Reds. He certainly hasn’t been the problem, that’s for damn sure. On Saturday afternoon in Busch Stadium, though, it was the big hit coming off a Moll pitch that flipped the scoreboard in the Bottom of the 8th inning and, ultimately, […]
It will be a battle of southpaws on the mound at Busch Stadium in St. Louis on Saturday afternoon as Nick Lodolo and Matthew Liberatore earn the starts from the Cincinnati Reds and Cardinals, respectively, in Game Two of this three-game weekend series between the National League Central rivals. For Lodolo, the hope is that […]
The Cincinnati Reds should be fresh following their off-day on Thursday, but they’re also ‘fresh’ off losing 4 of 6 at home during their most recent homestand against the Atlanta Braves and Kansas City Royals, respectively. Now, the Reds are in St. Louis and ready to face a Cardinals club that they saw briefly two […]
I feel for Tony Santillan at the moment. He’s been such a vital part of the Cincinnati Reds bullpen, when healthy, for several years now, but it’s undeniable that he’s been struggling for weeks now to no avail. Problem is, the more he struggles, the more that’s still being asked of him. Simultaneous with his […]
Yesterday’s come from behind victory by the Cincinnati Reds over the Kansas City Royals did a little bit to assuage the mental damage done by losing Elly De La Cruz to a hamstring injury and IL stint earlier in the week. The Reds have managed to keep their heads above the .500 mark for another […]
Rhett Lowder took the mound in a professional baseball game on Tuesday night for the first time in nearly a month. What he produced didn’t matter nearly as much as how he felt after getting in the work with AAA Louisville, and apparently he’s feeling just fine. According to MLB.com’s Mark Sheldon, Lowder came out […]
The seemingly neverending shuffle of the Cincinnati Reds outfield got another significant round on Wednesday afternoon. This time, it featured the demotion of a player nobody, if polled in the offseason, would have expected would be off the active roster just 60 games into the 2026 season. The Reds made a straight swap, optioning former […]
It’s difficult to truly justify a game as a ‘must-win’ just 60 games into a 162 game MLB season, but Tuesday evening in Great American Ball Park began to feel like one shortly after its start. The Cincinnati Reds, losers of 4 of their last 5 games, were sitting perilously close to being just .500 […]
We’re doing our best to block out a lot of what’s been going on with the Cincinnati Reds of late. The rotation is in tatters. The bullpen is in even worse condition. They’re now missing Elly De La Cruz from the lineup, and they’re at risk of dipping all the way back to the .500 […]
The writing was on the wall for the Cincinnati Reds yesterday when star pitcher Chase Burns was scratched late from his scheduled start against the Kansas City Royals due to illness. When the once-dependable portion of the team’s tattered rotation was turned into a spot bullpen start, it was a clear indication that some more […]
There are five teams that play baseball in the National League Central division, and the Cincinnati Reds are in fifth place among them. They own a -39 run differential so far through 59 games, a mark that’s the third worst in the entire NL. Their best position player, Elly De La Cruz, is on the […]
The Cincinnati Reds will begin their sans-Elly era on Monday night in Great American Ball Park with the Kansas City Royals in town. They’ll also do so without Chase Burns, who was scratched from his scheduled start due to him battling an illness at the moment. As a result, the patchwork infield will back Lyon […]
It has been quite the administrative few days for the Cincinnati Reds. Fresh off a weekend that saw them need to place both Graham Ashcraft and Pierce Johnson on the injured list, the Reds were forced to place star Elly De La Cruz on there due to hamstring issues earlier on Monday. Kyle Nicolas was […]
The month of May is in the rearview mirror, and a handful of select Cincinnati Reds farmhands are going to look back on it fondly for quite some time. Here are four minor leaguers who absolutely smashed the ball during the most recent month: Carlos Jorge, OF (AA Chattanooga Lookouts) We’ve seen decent power from […]
Sunday afternoon in Great American Ball Park brought out the full range of emotions for the Cincinnati Reds. They picked up a win to stave off a would-be sweep by the Atlanta Braves, but watched as superstar Elly De La Cruz pulled up lame rounding 1B on a ball he hit to the wall in […]
Elly De La Cruz was having a stellar Sunday in the series finale against the Atlanta Braves in the series finale in Great American Ball Park, opening the day with a single, walk, stolen base, and a pair of runs scored. Things sure seemed like they were about to get even better when he led […]
The Cincinnati Reds try to salvage the series against the Atlanta Braves by at least claiming the final game, having lost each of the first two contests against their old NL West rivals. Nick Lodolo and Spencer Strider get the starts for their respective clubs, with first pitch set for 1:40 PM ET. Lineups for […]
The Atlanta Braves rolled into Great American Ball Park on Friday with the most wins in Major League Baseball and the league’s best winning percentage, too. So far, they’ve done nothing in their time in Cincinnati to diminish either count. Atlanta claimed Friday’s series opener by the score of 8-3 and backed it up with […]
The Cincinnati Reds look to level the series in Great American Ball Park against the visiting Atlanta Braves, a veritable juggernaut who claimed the opening game of the series 8-3 last night. Brady Singer starts, and hopefully will not give up 3 homers for the third consecutive start. Lineups for both clubs listed below. Go […]
Still reeling from losing Graham Ashcraft to the 60-day IL with a UCL strain in his right elbow, the Cincinnati Reds lost another veteran arm from their bullpen on Saturday afternoon. Pierce Johnson was placed on the 15-day IL with inflammation in his right elbow, as MLB.com’s Mark Sheldon relayed, and the ripple effect necessitated […]
There are 122 pitchers who have thrown at least 40 innings so far in 2026, and only five of them have a higher ERA than Cincinnati Reds starter Brady Singer. Two of those are members of the Colorado Rockies, though, so we’re going to go with just three. Singer sports a 6.52 FIP throgh his […]
