The Cincinnati Reds offense stinks again

There was a blissful time when the Cincinnati Reds remembered how to hit. Elly De La Cruz was healthy and flourishing, Sal Stewart looked the part of the team’s next cornerstone in the box, Nathaniel Lowe looked like the bargain of the offseason, Spencer Steer couldn’t not get on base, and JJ Bleday was a […]

Reds drop frustrating series finale to Diamondbacks

The Cincinnati Reds played the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday afternoon in Great American Ball Park in the rubber match of the series. By now, you’ll be able to recite how the game went. Cincinnati got an effective, albeit inefficient outing from their starting pitcher. Their offense was mostly inept, but gave just enough combined with […]

8th inning homer from Noelvi Marte leads Reds past Diamondbacks

The list of things the Cincinnati Reds got on Saturday evening in Great American Ball Park amounts to a what’s what of things that have proven to be pitfalls for them so often over their last ~40 or so games. First, they put together some back to back hits with 2-outs, as Matt McLain socked […]

Cincinnati Reds vs. Arizona Diamondbacks – Rhett Lowder vs. Mike Soroka

Here they come, here come the Redlegs! They are demons on wheels! They are demons and they’re gonna be chasing after someone! Today, those someones are the Arizona Diamondbacks, who are still in town after taking Friday night’s series opener in the most birthday-present of ways. They’ll be sending righty Mike Soroka to the mound, […]

Reds shuffle deck chairs ahead of Saturday’s game against Diamondbacks

You are still singularly focused on Cincinnati Reds baseball, and for that I applaud you (to a degree). They’ve lost key player after key player to injuries. They’ve nosedived from first place to dead last in the National League Central. They’ve found ways to lose that will make you absolutely rip out every hair on […]

The Cincinnati Reds are running out of ways to lose

The tension built steadily over a two and a half day window. That’s how long we had to wait to see the Cincinnati Reds blow a game on Friday night in a way so uniquely their own after the last time they blew a game in a way so uniquely their own. There’s blowing a […]

Cincinnati Reds look to unmute season at home against Arizona Diamondbacks

Not that long ago, the Cincinnati Reds were nine games over the .500 mark. Even after a burp and a hiccup, this was still a team that was 29-25 through 54 games, a club that had absorbed some punches and returned a few in good measure. The last two weeks of baseball, though, have seen […]

Should these Cincinnati Reds be buyers, or sellers?

Reds top prospect Alfredo Duno hit a baseball to Mars

Top Cincinnati Reds catching prospect Alfredo Duno is still just 20 years of age, but that’s not stopping him for a second from dominating High-A Midwest League pitching. To date, he’s hitting .266/.388/.526 (.914 OPS), and has chipped in with 11 doubles and 13 homers so far on the year. Only three hitters in the […]

The Cincinnati Reds bullpen did it again

Two of the big boppers on whom the Cincinnati Reds are depending with Elly De La Cruz sidelined stepped up late and did their parts in big, big ways, respectively. JJ Bleday, who deserves to be on the National League All Star team at this juncture, smashed a 391 foot solo homer off San Diego […]

Extra-innings homer from Sal Stewart gives Reds 5-3 win over Padres

Into the wee hours of the morning went the Cincinnati Reds and San Diego Padres after their 9:40 PM ET start time on Tuesday evening in southern California, the second game of their three-game series heading to extras after neither team could quite figure out Chase Burns or Lucas Giolito, respectively. Tied at 2-2, the […]

Cincinnati Reds vs. San Diego Padres – Chase Burns vs. Lucas Giolito

Here are the Cincinnati Reds, in desperate need for their resident ace to give them a shot at turning around their season amid a dismal spate of terrible baseball. Here are the Cincinnati Reds, forced to call a 23 year old with just 20 career starts at the big league level to be their resident […]

Former Red Joel Kuhnel is the Brewers latest pitching machine

You may recall Joel Kuhnel from his days with the Cincinnati Reds. Big guy, he is – listed at 6’5” and 290 lbs. He was an 11th round pick out of the University of Texas-Arlington, threw a heavy heater, and made it into 14 games with the Reds in 2019-2020 before injuries shut him down […]

Padres reach on three straight bunts in humiliating defeat of Reds

If you managed to stay up late enough on Monday to watch the Cincinnati Reds lose to the San Diego Padres, I applaud you. I apologize to you for your pain and suffering, but I applaud you for your diligence. The Reds are an absolute mess right now. Depending on the depth of your parameters, […]

Cincinnati Reds vs. San Diego Padres – Andrew Abbott vs. Walker Buehler

On the one hand, it’s a bit hyperbolic to declare that a 31-33 team playing a road series in San Diego is playing for their season. There are, after all, almost 100 games left in the 2026 regular season. For the Cincinnati Reds, though, it’s been five-plus weeks of absolute crud on the baseball field, […]

The Cincinnati Reds and a dreaded West Coast Trip

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 are broken with no quick fix

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 […]

Cincinnati Reds vs. St. Louis Cardinals – Rhett Lowder vs. Michael McGreevy

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 […]

Reds activate Rhett Lowder ahead of Sunday start vs. Cardinals

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 […]

Cincinnati Reds fall under .500 after another bullpen implosion against St. Louis

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, […]

Cincinnati Reds vs. St. Louis Cardinals – Brady Singer vs. Kyle Leahy

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 […]
