Reds, Bruce on a hot streak

Via Fox Sports Ohio  |  August 16, 2012
The Cincinnati Reds and Jay Bruce are both streaky. When both are hot, Cincinnati is awfully difficult to stop. Bruce, who has homered in three straight games, looks to help the Reds post their fifth winning streak of at least six games this season Thursday night while completing their second consecutive sweep of the New York Mets. Scott Rolen and Todd Frazier hit back-to-back home...

Game 118: Mets 8, Reds 4

Via Red Hot Mama  |  August 17, 2012
There’s almost no part of the game last night that doesn’t qualify as an all-out stinker as the Reds broke their 5-game win streak in the final game of the series against the Mets. Homer Bailey’s performance certainly qualifies. In just 5.2 innings, he allowed 6 runs (4 earned) on 8 hits and 3 walks. I was on the road last night so I didn’t see the game on t.v., but I did...

Baker talks about Hanigan in the 8 hole

Via Red Hot Mama  |  August 17, 2012
Last Game The Reds dropped an ugly game to the Mets last night to end the latest winning streak. Homer Bailey did not have a good outing, just as he hasn’t over his last four outings. If the pitcher introduced in the double-header tomorrow makes a good start, maybe Bailey will be getting a little more rest. It’s hard to imagine how he’d contribute to a postseason team in this...

Reds get another crack at Travis Wood

Via Fox Sports Ohio  |  August 17, 2012
Last week against the Chicago Cubs, the Cincinnati Reds couldn't get much going against former teammate Travis Wood, who admitted having some extra motivation in facing his old club for the first time. Cincinnati could be in for more of the same when Wood returns to Great American Ball Park in the opener of a four-game series Friday night. The NL Central-leading Reds (71-47)...

It’s Saturday, and the Reds play a non-traditional doubleheader. Is there anything better? A full 18 innings of baseball lie ahead, and hopefully two wins at the end of the day are gained in the standings. The Reds are firing on all cylinders coming off a 7-3 victory last night in which Ryan Ludwick hit his 23rd home run, Todd Frazier hit his 16th, and Jay Bruce hit his 25th of...
