He must a walking bruise by this point. (AP Photo/Al Behrman)Last game After sweeping the series with the Cubs, the Reds lost the series opener against the Braves last night, 7-4. Bronson Arroyo had another rough start, giving up 4 runs (earned) on 8 hits and 2 walks through 5.0 innings. Alfredo Simon pitched 2 innings of hitless relief, but Logan Ondrusek gave the Braves their winning margin: 3 runs (earned) on 3 hits and 1 walk in the eighth. It was too late by the time J. J. Hoover closed it out without a hit. Zack Cozart’s ears must have been burning, because he suddenly pulled out a 2-hole worthy performance, going 2-for-5 with 2 runs scored. Next game The Reds try to even the record against the Braves tonight. It’s the hot-hitting Homer Bailey (RHP, 1-3, 3.38 ERA) tonight against Kris Medlen (RHP, 1-4, 3.38 ERA). First pitch at 7:10 p.m. Hey, remember Johnny Cueto? On May 13, Johnny Cueto left a game after experi...

RF Jay Bruce continues to swing a big bat as he knocked in his 8th double of the year and his 125th overall. Jack Hannahan brought in the go-ahead run with a bases-loaded walk in the eighth inning. Down 4-2 in the eighth, the Reds put up four points with the help of only hit. The win was the Reds took  second straight against Chicago. Logan Ondrusek (2-0) got the victory with a scoreless seventh inning. Aroldis Chapman  earned his seventh save for Cincinnati. Watch Bruce earn his 125th double.

The Reds were swept yesterday by the Pittsburgh Pirates. Friday they got a shaky start from Mike Leake, which maybe isn’t so surprising after all. Saturday they lost Johnny Cueto to what is still a mystery injury. Yesterday it was another of those hit-the-wall kinds of games. Mat Latos was rocking a shut-out when he entered the seventh inning. Then Michael McKenry knocked a solo shot over the wall to lead off the inning. Two outs and two baserunners and another run later, Latos is out and it’s up to Logan Ondrusek. Ondrusek, though, couldn’t get out of the inning and his inherited runner to score, plus added one of his own. Not to worry! Manny Parra took over to allow the second generation of inherited runners to score. And that was the prettier of the two innings. Jonathan Broxton…*shakes head* The Reds have lost 5 in a row and have been outscored 14-34. Final score yesterday: 7-10. But don’t worry: I’m sure things...

After taking game one of the series by scoring nine runs in the final inning, the Reds proceeded to get outscored, 15-1, over the next two games of the series. I don't know what it is, but Busch Stadium has been a Bermuda Triangle of sorts for the Reds in the past decade. This last series did nothing to help erase that trend. But as any baseball fan knows, there is always tomorrow, and tomorrow (Friday) begins a fresh series in Pittsburgh against the Pirates. A trio of games versus the Buccos may be exactly what Cincy needs to get back on track. Until then, enjoy a mixed bag of news and notes... + Dusty Baker wasted no time in plugging Logan Ondrusek into a game.

The move was made retroactive to Monday, and right-hander Logan Ondrusek was recalled from Double-A Pensacola and was expected to arrive in time for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals. Marshall has appeared in one game, working a scoreless inning. Ondrusek had a 7.59 ERA in 10 spring training appearances and was optioned to Pensacola the day before the opener. In three appearances in the minors, he allowed one hit in 2 1/3 scoreless innings.

On Wednesday, the Reds placed Marshall on the 15-day disabled list due to shoulder tendinitis. The move was announced just prior to Cincinnati's series finale against the Cardinals. Logan Ondrusek will take Marshall's spot on the roster after beginning the season in Double-A Pensacola. Ondrusek will be in uniform this afternoon for the matinee affair and is available to pitch. Marshall has appeared in just one of the club's eight games in 2013. Dusty Baker was taking a cautious approach with Marshall to let his 30-year-old reliever rest, but Marshall's condition has apparently failed to get significantly better. Ondrusek appeared in three games for the Blue Wahoos and allowed no runs, one hit, and no walks in 2.1 innings pitched. Ondrusek was 5-2 with a 3.46 ERA in 63 appearances with the Reds a season ago.

It will be strange waiting for a 4pm first pitch, but I guess we don’t have much of a choice. I will be watching the game from the comfort of my home, eating snacks and hopefully watching win #1 of the season. Are any of you guys heading to GABP for the game? The Reds roster took shape Sunday evening and it led to shaping of the minor league rosters. Logan Ondrusek was optioned to Pensacola in an interesting twist of things. That move pushed Ryan Dennick to Louisville. Dennick was slated to be one of the starters for Pensacola, so with his moving up a spot is now open. My guess would be that Josh Smith will move to the rotation for the time being and eventually head back to the bullpen later in the year. Jose Arredondo was outrighted to Louisville. The Louisville Bats roster still isn’t official, and as of r...

Ondrusek, who struggled with his control during spring training, was optioned to Double-A Pensacola. Arredondo, who appeared in 66 games last season, was sent outright to Triple-A Louisville. The Reds chose to keep left-hander Manny Parra, who signed a one-year, $1 million deal in February, and right-hander Alfredo Simon, who pitched in 36 games last season. Reliever Nick Masset went on the 15-day DL, continuing his recovery from shoulder surgery last September. The Reds designated infielder Jason Donald for assignment to the minors and selected the contract of infielder Cesar Izturis. Infielder Emmanuel Burris, catcher Corky Miller and outfielders Denis Phipps and Derrick Robinson were reassigned to minor league camp.

The team announced the deal Thursday night. Ondrusek, a right-handed reliever, had filed for salary arbitration after going 5-2 with a 3.46 ERA and two saves last season. Teams and players are set to exchange proposed salaries Friday. Cincinnati still has six players in arbitration: pitchers Homer Bailey, Mat Latos, Mike Leake and Alfredo Simon, and outfielders Shin-Soo Choo and Chris Heisey. The 6-foot-8 Ondrusek is 15-7 with a 3.45 ERA in three major league seasons, all with the Reds.

The Reds announced their roster before Game 1 on Saturday. They are carrying 11 pitchers for the series, with fifth starter Mike Leake and Ondrusek being held out. Ondrusek had the fourth most appearances on the Reds this season with 63 but struggled late in the year. He had a 4.76 ERA with eight walks and three homers allowed in 11 1-3 innings since Aug. 18. Cincinnati also is going with just Ryan Hanigan and Dioner Navarro at catcher, leaving Devin Mesoraco off the roster.

Despite some questionable defense (the Reds had 4 errors in this game), they did come back to win the game and sweep the series at the last possible moment. Final score: 5-3.

The Reds (19-18) and Mets (21-17) got together for an afternoon bout on Thursday, with Cincinnati looking to sweep the brief two-game series. The big righty Mat Latos went against the knuckleballer R.A. Dickey on Weather Education day at Citi Field in New York. The Redlegs broke it open with a three-run fifth inning which gave them a 4-0 lead, before the Metropolitans rallied and ripped a gaping hole in the game to take a 9-4 lead over the next four innings, and that was the final score. Here's the good, the very, very bad, and the notables: The Good -The Reds offense looked good early on, banging out four runs on eight hits, before everything went wrong. -Latos drove in a run with a sacrifice fly, as part of the three-run fifth. -Joey Votto blasted a knuckleball deep to right field for a solo home run (4) in the fourth. He finished 2-4 on the day. -Ryan Han...

It was Homer Bailey on the mound to start things off against a formidable Braves’ offense. He worked 6.2 innings, allowing 1 run (earned) on 6 hits and 2 walks. Logan Ondrusek and Aroldis Chapman then came on to put in .2 inning apiece, with Ondrusek being the lucky one to be on the mound when the win came. Sean Marshall closed it out for the save.

And what better way to celebrate than by counting down the last few days before reporting to Spring Training? The tall right-hander out of Shiner, Texas is coming off a fine individual season in 2011. In 66 appearances he posted a 5-5 record, 3.23 ERA, and a 1.353 WHIP. Dusty Baker will undoubtedly look toward Ondrusek to help in the middle innings of games once again in 2012.
