Posted in Imagine if you will what could have happened to the 2011 Cincinnati Reds. You have to keep in mind that while this team did indeed win the National League Central in 2010, they seemed to fall apart at key times during the 2011 campaign. Cincinnati went into 2011 with the bar set high. Unfortunately, with [...]

Bruce Grabs NL Player of the Week Honors
This is starting to be routine for Jay Bruce. Cincinnati’s slugging outfielder was named the National League’s Player of the Week on Monday, a designation he also enjoyed back at the end of May. Bruce has now been named Player of the Week three times in four seasons. Bruce, the 12th overall selection in the [...]
Cueto Pitches CG Gem, Reds Sweep Giants 9-0
There’s a perfectly good reason why Johnny Cueto is the ace of the Cincinnati Reds: His stuff has returned not to mention that his numbers buttress this argument. Try this on for size: 6-4 and a 1.88 ERA (prior to Sunday’s game). Sunday would find the Reds in dire need of a lengthy outing from Cueto [...]
Reds Explode Early, Slay Giants 7-2
For the sake of repitition, the Cincinnati Reds, despite being in fourth place, are in what I would describe as a must-win situation. Granted, they were 51-55 prior to their game Saturday against the defending World Series champion San Francisco Giants; however, because the National League Central Division has four teams within 6.5 games of [...]

The Cincinnati Reds are proof positive that a team that is on the ropes does indeed have a fighting chance. Four [...]
Infield Bobbles Help Reds Beat Bucs 3-1
With the National League Central Division currently in a weakened state (four teams within 5 games of each other as of July 20), one would think that the Cincinnati Reds would make hay while the sun shone down on them. Enter Johnny Cueto and to an extent, the butter-fingered Pittsburgh Pirates as both teams got [...]
Reds Outlast Cardinals In 13-Inning Roller Coaster Ride 9-8
In my personal opinion, it does not matter to me which of the 30 Major League Baseball teams that you are. I pose this question to you, a baseball and Cincinnati Reds fan and a regular reader of The Reds Report: How does a team, even with the offensive power that the Reds possess [...]
7-Run Sixth Helps Reds Rally, Beat Cubs 7-4
With the tip of the ballcap to the older version of the early NFL Cleveland Browns, the Cincinnati Reds have become the modern day version of the “Kardiac Kids.” Granted, the Reds have won their games in just about every possible way out there, but perhaps not quite in the fashion that they did [...]
