Was Sunday a slump buster?

Via RedLegFans  |  April 16, 2012
I heard an interview with Joey Votto over the weekend and he talked a little bit about the Reds bats. He mentioned how they were in a slump and all it takes is one hit to end a slump. Maybe the Reds got those hits on Sunday. In narrowly avoiding a sweep by the Nationals, some of the biggest slumpers currently for the Reds came up big. Scott Rolen was on base when Ludwick smacked...

Offense continues to struggle as Reds lose 4-1

Via Redlegs Review  |  April 14, 2012
Will the offense still struggle as Brandon Phillips returns from injury to the starting lineup? The Reds (3-6) lost again to the Washington Nationals (7-2) in what can only be explained by an ugly and frustrating showing by the offense.  The team managed only 2 hits and 1 run. Homer Bailey had a quality start but it just wasn’t good enough for the dreadful...

RLW Episode 06 – A Taxing Ten Games

Via RedLegFans  |  April 16, 2012
Last week wasn’t your best example of Reds baseball, losers of 2 out of 3 vs the Cardinals, losers of 3 out of 4 against the Nationals. At 4-6, this couldn’t possibly have been the start Bob Castellini and Walt Jocketty were expecting. The Reds offense is in shambles, but hey at least they’re pitching! If you listen to us on iTunes we would certainly appreciate if you...

Thoughts On Last Night's Roller Coaster Win

Via The Nats Blog  |  April 14, 2012
Last night’s win over the Cincinnati Reds was a lot of fun. It was the kind of night that reminds you why you watch Nationals baseball in the first place. It marked the second consecutive game that the team was able to win as a result of late-inning heroics. It was also the second consecutive game in which a Nats starter pitched an absolute gem, as Jordan Zimmermann followed...

Interesting. Forgive the delayed podcast listening, but in last week’s Jonah Keri Grantland pod he had ESPN Baseball Tonight anchor Steve Berthiaume on to take a tour around the league after one week.
