Mat Latos struggled from the outset on Wednesday.
The Reds continued to soldier along without the services of Joey Votto, and the results were what most fans fear could become the norm over the next three-to-four weeks. The offense sputtered and the starting pitching flopped and it all equaled up to a disappointing night at the ballyard for the Redlegs.
The Good
-Drew Stubbs did his job setting the table out of the
leadoff spot, going 2-for-4 with the only RBI of the game.
-Todd Frazier continued to produce, finishing 2-for-3.
-One of the keys to a deep Reds run this year, in my mind,
is Bill Bray getting back on track. He pitched a perfect inning of relief.
The Bad
-Mat Latos is usually outstanding against his former NL West
rivals, but that trait did not hold true tonight. The Diamondbacks touched up
Latos for two early runs and chased him with a run in the fourth and two more
in the fifth. He lasted just 4.2 innings, a...

As RHM detailed in the game wrap for game 91 for the Cincinnati Reds, Mat Latos and the Reds did not do well.
It was Jay Bruce bobblehead night, which our son really wanted, so we headed out after work. Hearing the gates had opened early because of the thunderstorm that passed through made us a little nervous that they might run out since we were still an hour away, but we shouldn’t...

In this week’s show:
Why did Votto continue to play if he was injured on June 29th? Why did he play in the All-Star Game?

Reds can overcome temporary loss of Votto
CINCINNATI There are no placards hanging in the Cincinnati Reds clubhouse that say, "Keep a stiff upper lip," but there are, indeed, more stiff upper lips these days than on the Queen's Guard at Buckingham Palace.
It is all due to the loss of All-Star first baseman Joey Votto for three weeks after he underwent arthroscopic knee surgery Tuesday.
The team, of course...
Brewers hope to pounce on Votto-less Reds
The Cincinnati Reds didn't panic when they learned injured slugger Joey Votto would miss at least three weeks, nor did they when trailing by six runs in their latest contest.
While teams like the Milwaukee Brewers who are chasing them in the NL Central may be looking to pounce on the Votto-less Reds, Brandon Phillips helped show there's still some pop in the lineup.

Of all the people you might have thought would take Joey Votto’s roster spot while he’s on the DL with that arthroscopic knee surgery, I bet you didn’t consider a right-handed pitcher.
But John Fay says that Todd Redmond (the guy the Reds just traded Paul Janish for) is coming up today to give the Reds some flexibility if Johnny Cueto’s start tonight … [visit site to read more]

As soon as the news broke a friend of mine, a lifelong Cincinnati Reds fan, texted me an ominous statement; “It’s time to find out what the Reds are made of.”
With superstar Joey Votto recently announcing he needed knee surgery, and would be out for a month, that statement couldn’t be truer. Votto is in the midst of another MVP level season and his loss could be a huge blow...

Reds' Votto has surgery, RHP Redmond called up
Reds first baseman Joey Votto has had surgery to repair torn cartilage in his left knee, leaving him sidelined for three to four weeks.
An MRI on Monday evening found the tear. Votto hurt the knee June 29 while sliding into a base. The knee had gotten better but began to bother him again, prompting the test.
The Reds will have to try to stay in first place in the NL Central without...

Arroyo had a rough go of it tonight.
Joey Votto is having surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee and will miss three to four weeks. Oh yeah, and the Reds (50-39) also played and subsequently lost 5-3 to the Diamondbacks (43-46) tonight.
Bronson Arroyo (L 4-6, 4.03) reverted back to his 2011 ways for the night and was the losing pitcher, giving up five earned...

Votto, Bautista injured; Halladay, Sabathia return
Joey Votto needs knee surgery, and Jose Bautista is out with a wrist injury.
Two of baseball's best hitters were sidelined in a matter of hours Monday, one night before a pair of top pitchers are slated to return to the mound.
Roy Halladay and CC Sabathia are both set to come off the disabled list Tuesday - and the way things are shaping up this summer, pennant races all over...

I guess the biggest news of course would be that Joey Votto is heading to the DL and that could cause a chain reaction throughout the system. Right now, it appears that pitcher Todd Redmond, who we just acquired last week in a trade for Paul Janish, will get the call. I expect that move to last only a day or two due to the Cueto blister (if it shows up, they will pull him early)...

Lynn pitched 7.0 innings of one run ball and rung up 10, although he only came away with a no decision in the Cards win. Miguel Montero and Mark Reynolds had almost identical nights for their respective teams. Montero went 3-4 with a HR and...

If the Cincinnati Reds continue to pitch well, they should have a good chance to succeed over the next few weeks even without injured star Joey Votto.
After shutting out Arizona to even their four-game set, the Reds hope Mat Latos can continue his undefeated run Wednesday night against the visiting Diamondbacks.
