Posted in Usually when the Cincinnati Reds rally and steal a win, it is usually one of their big bats (Joey Votto, Scott Rolen, Brandon Phillips, etc.) that save the day for them. But it is that rare occasion that a bench player comes off the bench and becomes the hero with his bat. Saturday found that [...]

Rain, Cardinals Double Up Reds 4-2
Not often, but during certain times of the year, all 30 teams in Major League Baseball face not just one but also a second opponent: inclement weather. A case where more often than not Mother Nature defeats the home team and on occasion the visiting team. The Midwest on Friday certainly had its share of [...]
Leake Impresses, Reds Bounce Diamondbacks 7-4
I think we’ve already heard about the arrest of Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Mike Leake for shoplifting. In case you haven’t, click here for the details. While the court case and its disposition takes place, Leake had a game to pitch on Thursday night as the Reds hosted the Arizona Diamondbacks. As opposed to some [...]
McCutchen Thorn In Reds’ Side, Pirates Win 7-6
Usually when the Pittsburgh Pirates and Cincinnati Reds get together for a game and series at Great American Ball Park, usually the the team from the Queen City prevails more often than not. Both teams got together at GABP Sunday afternoon for Game 3 of their four-game series in which Edinson Volquez went up against [...]

[...]
Bailey Helps Reds Sweep Series, Blank Marlins 2-0
In most cases, the Cincinnati Reds need at least a moderate amount of offense in order to win the vast majority of their games. Interestingly enough, Sunday’s game agaisnt the Florida Marlins would prove to be the exception, as opposed to the rule. And it took a replacement pitcher to lead the Reds’ charge. Homer [...]
Cincinnati Wins Pittsburgh Lotto Without Votto, Reds Blank Pirates 4-0
One would think initially that the Cincinnati Reds, without Joey Votto in their lineup, would be compromised offensively. As it were, Votto was sitting out Monday’s game against the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park with a sprained wrist, so his replacement would be the venerable Miguel Cairo. Fortunately, Votto’s presence wasn’t needed as Cairo drove in [...]
Phillips Helps Reds Offensive Explosion Continue, Slams Brewers 10-2
Perhaps Miller Park and/or the Milwaukee Brewers pitching staff is the cure for what has been ailing the Cinicnnati Reds – until recently. While Miller Park is a batters paradise of sorts, the Reds had been in an offensive funk of sorts until they came to Milwaukee, displaying their offensive might on Tuesday. the Reds [...]
