Reds vs. Red Sox – September 22, 2017
We had some glimmers of hope in recent weeks that things may be looking up, thanks to home sweeps of the Brewers and Pirates. But the Cardinals stopped by and reminded us that the Reds are still not ready to compete with the better teams. (Maybe if Luis Castillo and Tyler Mahle were still in …

Gennett scoots franchise record fourth grand slam but Reds fall to Sox 5-4
Scooter did it again. Joe Nuxhall Honorary Memorial Star of the Game For at least the second time this season, Scooter Gennett has done something in a season that no other Red has ever done. You’ll remember back in June, Mr. Ryan Gennett blasted four home runs in a single game becoming only the 17th player in Major League history to achieve the feat. His 10 RBI in that game tied a club record, but it was the first of those taters that is worth revisiting tonight. In the bottom of the third, Scooter hit his first grand slam of the season (and only second of his career). Then, on August...

Scott Schebler homers twice in 8-5 Reds loss
Joe Nuxhall Honorary Memorial Star of the Game Scott Schebler once led the National League in home runs, and did so a good number of games into the season. That power we saw early on has trailed off a bit in the second half, however, with just five of his 27 home runs he had tallied before this evening coming after the All-Star break. He found the power stroke again Thursday, though, mashing two dingers in an 8-5 Reds loss, one of which nearly left the stadium. He now needs just one more to get to an even 30 for the season, which would make him the third 2017 Red to reach that mark. God,...

Reds vs. Cardinals, Game 3: Preview and Predictions
Cincinnati Reds vs. St. Louis Cardinals 7:10 PM ET Homer Bailey vs. Carlos Martinez In the midst of the Reds’ “throw rookie pitchers at the wall and see what sticks” streak, they’re putting Homer Bailey out there tonight. He might have as much to prove as anyone in the rotation right now, as he really needs to prove that he’s back healthy and that he can put together some consistent starts going forward if he’s going to be part of this staff next year. He’ll face old friend Carlos Martinez. Go Reds!

Cardinals score more runs than Reds and therefore win the game, 9-2
Joe Nuxhall Honorary Memorial Star of the Game This was a rough one top to bottom for the Reds, so we might as well give today’s trophy to the only pitcher to appear in this one for Cincinnati and not allow a run. That would be Deck McGuire, who also happens to be the only pitcher on the Reds staff to not allow a run this season. He tossed two innings of shutout baseball with just one baserunner allowed via a hit by pitch. He’s only thrown 4.2 innings over three appearances for Cincinnati since his call-up, but he has yet to allow a run in that time. Considering his minor league numbers...

Cincinnati Reds vs. St. Louis Cardinals 7:10 PM ET Rookie Davis vs. Luke Weaver Man, it sure seems like these Reds/Cards games have featured a lot of rookie pitchers, haven’t they? This time, we have that in more ways than one! Rookie Davis makes his return to the rotation, following Stephens from last night. Davis made one bullpen appearance since rosters expanded, but hasn’t made a big league start since May. Davis had a 4.77 ERA in 11 starts in AAA. Go Reds!

The Cincinnati Reds and Free Agency - A preview of the 2017-18 offseason
Spoiler: They probably won't do anything. On October 1, the 2017 regular season will end. A couple days after that, as per the norm, the postseason will commence. By Halloween (or so) a team not from Cincinnati will be crowned as the new or repeating champions. And roughly a week or so after that, any player with free agent status will be eligible to be wined, dined, and signed by one of the 30 MLB teams in a frenzy of activity that usually peaks in mid-December. This year, teams will have the luxury of competing for such players as Yu Darvish, JD Martinez, and Jake Arrieta. Here's a...

Reds fall to Cardinals 8-7 in extra innings
Both Zack Cozart and Scooter Gennett did their homer thing again, though. The Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game Zack Cozart. It should almost always be Zack Cozart. The Cincinnati Reds shortstop blasted his 23rd homer of the season as part of a 2 for 5 night, one that featured a run scored and a pair of ribbies. He has Gold Gloved. He has Em Vee Peed. He, Zack Cozart, is Zack “MVP/GG” Cozart, and he’s played his ass off this entire season, even through pain. Congrats on yet another fine outing, Zack. I hope to write about your future exploits on whatever diamond you play...

Cincinnati Reds vs. St. Louis Cardinals 7:10 PM ET Jackson Stephens vs. Jack Flaherty After a successful weekend series and a well-earned off day, the Reds are back at it tonight to face the Cardinals. Jackson Stephens will take his turn as the next man up as the Reds starters start running out of innings. Stephens was impressive in his only other start this season, a spot start against the Cubs in July where he struck out 8 and earned the win. He’s thrown 6 1⁄3 innings in long relief since rosters expanded, and has yet to give up a run. He’ll face a fellow rookie in Jack Flaherty...

Robert Stephenson logs another great rookie start, Reds pound Pirates 5-2
The rookies are rolling. The Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game On the heels of Sal Romano’s excellent start on Saturday, the Cincinnati Reds got another excellent start from a rookie on Sunday. Robert Stephenson was on the bump this time, and he similarly was able to completely shut down the Pittsburgh Pirates offense in his outing. Bob fired 6 scoreless innings of 1-hit ball, and while he scattered a trio of walks on his day, he fanned 8 and routinely pitched his way out of any potential jam, needing 93 pitches to make it deep enough to log a quality start. Congrats, Bob,...
