Posted in The final item on the Cincinnati Reds‘ offseason wish list — a backup infielder who can play shortstop — appeared to be checked off on Wednesday. Bypassing what was a picked over free-agent market, Cincinnati executed a trade that brought utility infielder Wilson Valdez from the Philadelphia Phillies for left-handed reliever Jeremy Horst. The Reds [...]

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 [...]
Renteria Base Knock In 13th Sends Reds Past Giants 4-3
It isn’t very often that the Cincinnati Reds are involved with extra-inning affairs at Great American Ball Park. But when they are, it is usually with mixed results. Friday night at GABP found the Reds hosting a tilt against the reigning World Series champion San Francisco Giants; as one can safely assume, this was [...]
Braves Win Battle Of Long Ball, Edge Reds In Ninth 6-4
Friday evening found the Cincinnati Reds hosting the Atlanta Braves in a game that was obviously important in terms of keeping up with the Joneses (the three teams above the Reds). The pitching matchup (Bronson Arroyo vs. Jair Jurrjens) seemed to suggest that perhaps a pitching duel would be possible. As it would turn [...]
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 [...]
Votto RBI Single In 10th Helps Reds Rally, Beat Cardinals 6-5
Joey Votto, last season’s National League Most Valuable Player, has had a stellar season thus far (.351, 5 HR, 22 RBI, 30 runs scored) despite the fact that he hasn’t hit a home run in the month of May. Friday night’s game between the St. Louis Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park was [...]
Reds’ Wildness Haunts Them, Edged By Astros 4-3
One thing that has hurt the Cincinnati Reds‘ pitching this season is the fact that they have this knack of waking batters at inopportune times. Lately, the pitcher who has been glaring in that respect is Aroldis Chapman. But the starting pitching has seen its share of wildness, as well. During the Reds’ game [...]
Bailey Has Second Straight Strong Outing, Reds Pound Astros 7-3
Interestingly enough, Cincinnati Reds pitcher Homer Bailey’s season debut was against the Houston Astros. Intersting in the fact that he hails from the state of Texas. Of course, Bailey’s season debut against these Astros at Great American Ball Park last Thursday was a success, having defeated the Astros 10-4 as he went six innings and gave [...]
