Redlegs Update
Posted on July 4, 2012 at 02:29 PM.


Cincinnati, OH--- The first 1/3 of the 2012 season has come and gone, and the Reds find themselves 5 games above .500 at 29-24, which is good enough for 2nd place in the NL Central, a half game out from the Milwaukee Brewers. The Reds pitching has been key to this team so far, posting a 3.44 ERA through 53 games. Three of the five starters in the rotation has ERA's under 3. Mat Latos has proven he is amongst of the best young pitchers in the game, after 11 outings, Latos has a team high in wins (7) and leads the team in strikeouts. Over his last 4 outings Latos is 4-0 with a 0.93 ERA with 21 strikeouts. On the offensive end, Joey Votto and Jay Bruce are having outstanding years. Jay Bruce is hitting a career best, .299 with 7 home runs and 28 RBI's. As for the 2010 NL MVP Joey Votto, his average has dampened so far in the young season at .277, but leads the team in home runs (10), and RBI's (32), and also is tied in the NL with the most doubles (19).
If the Reds continue in this direction, this team has a good chance of making a run in the Fall Classic. With Cueto, Latos, and Arroyo pitching like they have of late, this will be a tough 1-2-3 punch. The Reds are finishing up a 3 game series in Houston before heading back home to face the Pirates, and the Tigers. Over the last 7 games the Red's are 7-3.

Reds Sweep Rockies
Posted on June 27, 2012 at 09:24 PM.



Cincinnati, OH--- The Reds fans had their brooms out today at GABP, as their Redlegs tried to take game 3 against the Rockies. Bronson Arroyo looked fabulous in his outing, going 7 innings, giving up 2 runs on 6 hits, along with 2 strikeouts. "My pitches were working well today. Everything was going right for me," said Arroyo following his performance against Colorado. Arroyo was also able to produce from the offensive side as well; coming up with a hit in the 2nd inning that scored 2 runs. Arroyo improves to 5-2 with a 2.92 ERA. The Reds will head to Pittsburgh to, to face the Pirates in a 3 game series.
Latos Rolls
Posted on June 27, 2012 at 06:34 PM.


Cincinnati, OH--- After coming off of a 4 game split with the Atlanta Braves, the Reds looked for their second win in a row against the NL West leading Colorado Rockies. The story of the night was young right hander, Mat Latos. Latos is coming off of one of his best outings of the year, against the Braves, going 8 innings only giving up 1 earned run, on 3 hits. Against the Rockies, Latos went 7 innings allowing no runs on just 3 hits again, striking out 5. The downside is that Latos has walked 8 batters total in his last two outings. But other than that, he is getting the job done. The Reds won game two of the series 2-0 as Latos improved to 6-2 on the year, with a 2.85 ERA. Bronson Arroyo (4-2, 2.97) will take the hill for the Reds on Sunday against rookie, Christian Friedrich (2-0, 2.87). First pitch is set for 1:10 at GABP.

Ludwick Brings His Bat
Posted on June 17, 2012 at 11:03 PM.
Cincinnati, OH.--- The Reds won their second game in a row on Wednesday. After shutting out the Braves 3-0, behind a magnificent outing by Johnny Cueto, the Reds seemed to find a way to score runs against the Mets; which has been a rarity as of late. Ryan Ludwick led the Reds to a 9-6 win, going 3-5, with a solo home run, driving in 4 runs. This is what Dusty and the Reds have been looking for from Ludwick all season. "I was just seeing the ball well tonight. They were giving me really good pitches," says Ludwick after the win. Cincinnati will play the Mets in game two of a quick two games series.

Braves Blank Reds
Posted on June 16, 2012 at 10:53 PM.


Cincinnati, OH--- The Reds were shut out for the first time in the 2012, by Mike Minor and the Atlanta Braves. Minor pitched 7 innings, giving up 7 hits, striking out 8, and only allowing one walk. The Reds struggles continue as they have dropped the last 6 games in a row, and fall 3.5 games behind Milwaukee in the NL Central. There were plenty of chances for the Redlegs, but Minor continued to get out of jams. "The offense just isn't here right now, but that's the game of baseball," said 2nd baseman Brandon Phillips after Monday's loss. Cincinnati's ace, Johnny Cueto will take the mound on Tuesday, in hope of getting Cincinnati its first win in nearly a week.

Too Early to Panic
Posted on June 15, 2012 at 06:37 PM.
Cincinnati, OH-- After coming off a disastrous series with NL Central rivals, Milwaukee Brewers, the Reds continue to struggle at home. The Nationals came into Great American Ballpark on a hot streak, 7-3 in their last ten games, and handled the Reds in fashion. Washington's young and talented rotation shut down the Reds in all three games of the series; only allowing 2 runs per game. "We have came back down to earth," said Cincinnati Manager Dusty Baker. "Its way to early to hit the panic button right now, way too early." The Reds have dropped their batting average of .271 to .258 since going on the road trip against Milwaukee. "We have to keep our heads up, this is a really good ball club and we will be okay," said Joey Votto after a post game interview after the three game swept from the Nats. Joey Votto has yet to be the Joey Votto from the past few seasons in Cincy. During 34 games, Votto is hitting .267 with 6 HR's and 21 RBI's. Scott Rolen has been placed on the 15-day DL with a right shoulder injury, and first baseman Mike Constanzo has been called up from AAA Louisville. The Reds will go on a seven game road trip, going to Atlanta and New York (against the Mets and Yankees). Mike Leake (2-2, 5.24) will face Mike Minor (2-3, 3.98) on Monday night, first pitch is set for 7:10.

Redlegs Take Two From Bucs
Posted on June 8, 2012 at 11:44 PM.
Cincinnati, OH---After dropping the first game of a three game series in Pittsburgh, the Reds find a way to bounce back and take two of the three games against the Pirates. All three games were decided between two runs or less. Votto's solo homer in the 9th of Friday's (5/12) match-up just wasn't enough in the 2-1 loss. AJ Burnett took a no hitter into the 8th against the NL Central leaders, but a Ryan Hanigan double with 2 outs broke it up.

In the second game, the Reds were hard to put away. "They just keep battling, the whole game and we were unable to put them away. That's a hell of a team," says Pirates manager Clint hurdle. The Reds would counter runs in 3 innings that Pittsburgh scored in. A 2-run home run by Devin Mesoroco in the 6th inning sealed the deal as the Reds came away with the victory 7-5. Mat Latos struggled; giving up 4 runs on 7 hits in 5 innings, but came away with the win, to go to 3-2 on the year.

Another pitching duel it was in game three. Bronson Arroyo (4-0, 1.30) only gave up a Neil Walker home run in the 6th inning. The Reds were shut out until the 9th for the second time in the series. Joey Votto, hit a solo home run against Closer, Joel Hanrahan, for his second home run in the series, tying things at one a-piece. The Reds would go on the win in crazy fashion. With Todd Frazier on second in the 10th, Drew Stubbs struck out on a pitch in the dirt, but a costly error by Rod Barajas allowed the run the score, as his overthrew his first baseman, trying to throw Stubbs out. "That's how the game of baseball is," says Reds third baseman Todd Frazier. "You never know how a game might end." Cincinnati continues it six game road trip as they take on the Brewers, who are facing a significant amount of injuries. Homer Bailey (2-0, 2.12) will take the mound for the Reds against Shaun Marcum (3-1, 5.57).

Reds Bounce Back--Take Rubber Match
Posted on June 5, 2012 at 06:37 PM.
Cincinnati, OH---Mike Leake (2-2) had a solid outing in his fifth start of the season on Thursday, as the Reds overcame their offensive struggles and struck for 17 hits in a win against the Cubs. Ryan Dempster took the mound for Chicago after being activated from the 15-day DL, going 6.1 innings and giving up 2 runs on 9 hits. The Reds did something they have not been able to do all season----coming up with clutch hits. Cincinnati scored 5 runs in the 7th and 8th inning after being down early in the game 2-0. Ryan Ludwick came up big the the 8th with a 2 out pinch hit home run, his first of the year. The Redlegs struck for two more runs in the 8th, all coming with two outs in the inning. Zack Cozart continued his hot streak, coming up with 4 of the Reds 17 hits--raising his batting average to .351 on the year, and is currently second in ROY race, behind Kirk Nieuwenhuis. The Reds will travel to Pittsburgh on Friday to play the Pirates for the first time in 2012. Johnny Cueto (2-1) 1.30 ERA, will take on AJ Burnett (0-2) 2.03 ERA.

Reds Hit A Bump
Posted on June 2, 2012 at 07:08 PM.
The Reds have ran into a little bit of trouble. Cincinnati is on its longest losing streak of the season, dropping to 5-5 over their last 10 games. They are coming off of a 3 game sweep by the Astro's, as the bats just weren't there, only mustering 6 runs in the three game series. While the starting pitchers have been just shy of untouchable, the bullpen has blown 2 of the last 4 games, and almost blew two more games against the Giants. Chapman gave up his first runs of the year in his last outing. It seems that pitching every other day is getting to him, as he hasn't shown the same stuff as of recently. Drew Stubbs has been hot as of lately and has hit safely in his last 8 games, upping his average to .304. Jay Bruce is 2nd in the NL in average (.354.), he has really shot out the gate fast, and there is no slowing down in site for the big slugger. The Reds look for a bounce back as the slumping Cubs come into GABP for a 3 game series.

Cincinnati Reds 2012
Posted on May 31, 2012 at 09:55 PM.
The 2012 Cincinnati Reds are looking like the 2010 NL Central Champions, if not better. The Reds have jumped out of the gates early in the '12 season. After 20 games in the young season, Cincinnati has brought their bats...batting .274 as a team (7th best in the ML). But the bats aren't the only thing carrying this young team, with a 3.14 ERA the Reds are 4th best in pitching the ML behind Cueto, Arroyo, and Bailey, who are all sporting ERA's around 1.00, not to mention LHP Aroldis Chapman who hasn't given up a run in 7 IP this year. The Reds are 8-2 against NL Central opponents, 6 of the wins against rivals St. Louis, the Reds have been untouchable against the Cards, only allowing 3.7 runs per games. The Redlegs are looking for a repeat of the Central, and so far things are looking up, as they are 5 games up on the Brew Crew through 20 games.
