Rolen Reels In the Fish, Reds Hook Marlins 7-2

With the St. Louis Cardinals series out of their hair, the Cincinnati Reds had another foe (not as obnoxious, but a foe all the same) to deal with: the Florida Marlins. With a lesser opponent and another series at Great American Ball Park, the team certainly has things aligning in their favor. Certainly, Scott Rolen [...]

Cardinals Put On Boxing Gloves, Double Up Reds 8-4

You know that you’re a desperate major league baseball team when you have to resort to a brawl to fire up your team. That certainly be the case with the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday when they visited Great American Ball Park to take on the Cincinnati Reds. Basically, Brandon Phillips went to the plate, leading [...]

Leake’s Horrendous Fourth Helps Cardinals Overtake Reds 7-3

I am not here to suggest that the lack of pitching in the minor leagues had a lot to do with Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Mike Leake’s effort during Monday’s game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Come to think of it, there are pitchers better than Leake who have gotten blasted and susequently getting chased. [...]

Phillips Gets Gifts From Heyward, Gonzalez; Reds Edge Braves 2-1

  There isn’t really any true record on Atlatna Braves outfielder Jason Heyward’s fielding prowess ; if Heyward, after Sunday’s game against the Cincinnati Reds is any indication, I would venture to say that he would want a do-over. Without a doubt, Brandon Phillips would want to thank him as he hit what would have been [...]

Hanigan’s Strange Double Rallies Reds Past Braves 5-2

Saturday’s game between the Atlanta Braves and Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park could be described as interesting – for at least one inning. The time: The top of the seventh inning. The batter: Ryan Hanigan.  The fielder: Melky Cabrera. Hanigan, on a pitch by Braves starting pitcher Jair Jurrjens, lined a double to deep center. [...]

Coco Collapses In 10th, Braves Rally To Beat Reds 6-4

It has been awhile since the Cincinnati Reds have been involved in a game which has involved extra innings, of which they have had mixed results. They would be a participant in yet another one of these affairs on Friday night when they hosted the Atlanta Braves at Great American Ball Park, pitting Johnny Cueto against [...]

Reds Suffer Power Shortage At GABP, Nationals Sweep 7-1

For those of you who either witnessed the Cincinnati Reds game in person at Great American Ball Park or watched the game on MASN (Reds were not on TV), then you probably found out first hand that starting pitcher Edinson Volquez is not Superman – although you wouldn’t have known that based on his last [...]

Strasburg Outpitches Arroyo, Nationals Pound Reds 8-5

It isn’t very often that Great American Ball Park is nearly filled to capacity on a weekday; however, to be fair, Stephen Strasburg and the Washington Nationals came visiting on Wednesday. After the game on Wednesday between these two squads, I think it is fair to say that neither Strasburg or the Reds’ starting pitcher [...]
