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 [...]

Phillies Sweep, Blank Reds 1-0
When you think of the Cincinnati Reds and Philadelphia Phillies, you usually think lots of offense and not much else. Yet you wouldn’t know it from the four-game series – save for Friday’s 9-7 Philadelphia win - played between the two squads as the starting pitching was excellent on both sides. Sunday’s game was one that [...]

Wood’s Gem Wasted, Phillies Overtake Reds 1-0 in 11
You have to feel truly sorry for Travis Wood. Notsomuch that he got a no-decision during Saturday’s game between the Cincinnati Reds and Philadelphia Phillies. That’s a common occurrence in Major League Baseball. The reason to feel for Wood is that he pitched nine innings of one-hit baseball, only for the Reds relievers to falter for [...]

Yet that is [...]
Howard Shoots Down Reds Bullpen, Phillies Prevail 9-7 In 10
I am thinking that this is the first time that the Cincinnati Reds’ bullpen completely fell apart after taking over a comfortable lead. Usually when Mike Leake, the Reds starting pitcher Friday night against the Philadelphia Phillies, departs the mound with a comfortable lead. more often than not, Cincinnati usually holds on for the win. [...]
Friday Game Preview – Reds @ Phillies
When: Friday, July 9, 7:05 PM (ET) Where: Citizens Bank Park, Philadelphia, PA Who: Mike Leake (6-1, 3.38 ERA) vs. Joe Blanton (3-5, 6.27 ERA) Thursday’s game was certainly a heart-stoppper – and a heart-breaker, as well – as the Cincinnati Reds’ relief corps broke down in the 12th inning and allowed Philadelphia Phillies catcher [...]
Late HR Helps Phillies Edge Reds 4-3 In 12
As we all already know, the Cincinnati Reds have become pretty proficient in pulling out victories late in a lot of games they have played this season. Sometimes in their half of the inning while a lot of them came at their last at-bat. Thursday’s game between the Reds and Philadelphia Phillies had the promise [...]
