Bats Spring Training Update
Tags: 
Bray Recovering Nicely From Elbow Surgery
After a rock solid season in 2008 out of the Cincinnati Reds’ bullpen, left-handed reliever Bill Bray came into spring training last year hoping to further solidify his spot as an effective bullpen option. Injuries threw a wrench in Bray’s plan, however, as he only got to appear in three early-season games at Louisville before [...]
Gomes Remains Hot In Reds’ 10-6 Loss To Rockies
It is a good thing that spring training win-loss records mean absolutely nothing. The nice – and important thing is that spring training is for the purpose of getting your regulars into playing shape for the regular season while auditioning players who could help the team right away. Thursday’s game between the Cincinnati Reds and [...]
Reds Explode For 7 In Eighth, Pound Giants 10-3
The Cincinnati Reds’ bats came alive once again, this time exploding for a bunch in an inning, seven runs in the eighth, to be exact. The game against the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday was actually relatively close until Juan Francisco’s pinch-hit double in the eighth inning began a hug eoffesnive explosion, allowing 7 Reds [...]

Not surpringly, anemic batting averages sealed the trios’ fate. Heisey batted .143, walking four times and striking out four; Frazier, while proving [...]
Rockies Blast Reds 9-1, Chapman Hurt
The Cincinnati Reds’ bats apparently stayed behind in the locker room as five Colorado Rockies pitchers combined to limit Cincinnati to just five hits, enabling Colorado to win big 9-1 at Goodyear. But perhaps bigger than the lack of offense by the Reds was the early pulling of the rookie phenom Aroldis Chapman, who [...]
Volquez Rehab Continues
Major elbow surgery can be a major hindrance, depending on the progress of the rehabilitation utilized. So far, so good for Edinson Volquez. Currently, he is in rehabilitation for surgery performed on his elbow and the pace has been slow, yet steady. This past week, he has been throwing from off the mound, throwing 25 [...]
Gomes Hits 4th HR Of Spring, Reds Edge A’s 4-3
Jonny Gomes, at least in my opinion, seems to have the edge in terms of who will be the regular left fielder for the Cincinnati Reds on Opening Day. As it turned out on Sunday, he may have solidified his hold on the position, going yard for the fourth time this spring while Johnny Cueto [...]
