Carlos Gonzalez 5-for-5 Night Leads Rockies over Cubs
Carlos Gonzalez went 5-for-5 with two home runs to lead the Colorado Rockies to a 9-4 win over the Chicago Cubs. Gonzalez fell a triple short of a cycle had three RBI and became the first Rockies player to have five hits in a game since Miguel Olivo in 2010.
The Rockies had been struggling to score runs of late and Gonzalez was not immune to the slump. He had gone 2-for...

Padres Sweep Series
The San Diego Padres completed a sweep on Wednesday with a 1-0 win over the Miami Marlins. In the series, the Marlins scored one total run following on a two game win streak in Philadelphia. The hard luck loser in this game was Ricky Nolasco who was brilliant but fell to 2-4 on the year due to the inept offense. Miami is now 10-25 on the season
Nolasco struck out nine in...
Stanton ends HR drought, Marlins fall to Cubs
MIAMI (AP) -- Giancarlo Stanton's home run over the left-field scoreboard was estimated at 472 feet, the longest by a Miami player at Marlins Park.
Chicago Cubs manager Dale Sveum believes it was longer.
"I think they're a little short," Sveum said.
Sveum, who played 12 years in the majors and has seen his fair share of home runs, ranks Stanton's as one of...
Stanton Homers, Fish Fall Again
The Miami Marlins lost their third straight game to the Chicago Cubs on Saturday by a final tally of 3-2. It wasn’t all bad news for Miami however as Giancarlo Stanton hit his first home run of the season. The 472 foot blast cleared the scoreboard in left field in what was one of the longest home runs hit so far at Marlins Park. With the loss, Miami is now 5-19 on the...
Cubs 3, Marlins 2
David DeJesus hit a tiebreaking single in the seventh inning to help lift the Chicago Cubs to a 3-2 win over the struggling Miami Marlins on Saturday night.
Travis Wood (2-1) pitched six innings allowing two runs and struck out five for Chicago, which has won four of five.
Three relievers held the lead to get to Kevin Gregg, who pitched a perfect ninth for his third save.

The Struggles of Giancarlo Stanton
Giancarlo Stanton was on the brink of stardom and ready to challenge the world as MLB's perennial homerun champion (crushed 93 HR through his age 22 season). However, his team (Miami Marlins) traded away the rest of the club's talent and provided him with no supporting cast. This season has been a complete waste. He's yet to hit a homerun, and only yesterday...
Eight Run Seventh Puts Fish Away
The Cincinnati Reds put together an eight run inning in the seventh that took more than 40 minutes to complete and that was the deciding factor in their 10-6 win over the Miami Marlins on Sunday. The final score makes the game look a closer than it really was after Miami put up four in the ninth inning. Miami is now 4-15 on the year which is the worst record in Major League...
Miami Falls in 13
A sacrifice fly in the 13th inning off the bat of Brandon Phillips gave the Cincinnati Reds a 3-2 win over the Miami Marlins on Saturday. Once again, the story for Miami was great pitching and lackluster offense. The two runs for Miami both came in the fifth inning and the team only compiled eight hits in the thirteen frames. The loss means the Marlins will go at least one...
News, notes and All Questions Answered
The Reds picked up a new catcher, Konrad Schmidt, to take place of Miguel Olivo who asked for and was granted his release. Schmidt had been with Texas earlier this spring but signed with the Reds on Sunday. He hit .214/.214/.500 with Texas this spring in 14 at bats. The 28-year-old had spent the last two season in AAA where he has hit .282/.336/.432 while throwing out 27% of attempted...
Wednesday news and notes
The Reds offered Miguel Olivo $100,000 to report to Louisville as part of the new CBA for players with his experience level coming off of a MLB deal the year before. He has not yet decided whether he will accept it, but given that he is hitting .167 this spring, I doubt there is an offer out there for a big league deal. With that said, he may see that the Reds have two pretty good...
In brief: Arroyo OK after line-drive to the hand
Last Game
It was yet another loss for the Reds yesterday. They lost 2-4 while visiting the Rangers in Surprise, AZ. The game was televised on the MLB Network, so I got to watch a Reds lineup minus Joey Votto and Brandon Phillips while I put in my time on the treadmill. It was so meta.
Devin Mesoraco went 2-for-3 with an RBI and Miguel Olivo went 1-for-1 with an RBI and a run scored...

Catcher – Corky Miller & Miguel Olivo
Corky Miller will return to Louisville for what seems like his 20th year, though it will only be his 10th. He will split time with Miguel Olivo who was hoping to catch on with the big league squad, but has struggled to hit this spring. Olivo hit .222/.239/.381 with the Seattle Mariners in 2012.

Todd Frazier singles in the first inning, knocking in Joey Votto.The Cincinnati Reds started off the 2013 Spring Training season with a game against the Cleveland Indians. Although they both share Goodyear Ball Park, the Reds played the visitors this time.
The game was an offensive show, with a combined 21 runs and 27 hits, which isn’t uncommon early in the Spring. For the Reds...
Touching base: Baseball is back and other Reds spring training tidbits
I'm back just to comment on a few things surrounding Reds baseball over the past few weeks. I did this at the end of last month too and called it Playing Pepper. As I work out what name I'll continue to use for these types of posts, I'm going to call it "Touching Base" today. You know, because that's what you do in baseball sometimes and it also means...
2013 Minor League Contract Team
It's that time of year when pitchers and catchers report to spring training to get some early workouts in and wait around for the rest of the team to show and go through stretching, drills, and games that are nothing more than glorified practice sessions. The players in this post were brought together to create a 25-man roster constructed from guys signed to minor league contracts...
