This was submitted by Joe Rettig, a long-time reader and supporter of Redleg Nation. You may recall Joe’s report earlier this season about his visit to Busch Stadium in St. Louis. This time, it’s Miller Park in Milwaukee. Thanks, Joe! The rubber match between the Reds and Brewers didn’t go the Reds way on Sunday. …

As reported by C. Trent Rosecrans, outfielder Scott Schebler has been activated from the disabled list. He’ll take the roster spot of pitcher Scott Feldman, who was placed on the 10-day DL. #Reds activate Scott Schebler from the DL, put Scott Feldman on the DL — C.

It started in the summer of 2005. I was 14 going on 15. My sister had a gymnastics competition in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, and my parents, as they often did, made it a family trip. At the time, I was still fairly new to baseball, having just become a fan a few years before. But …
Doug Gray joined me again this week, and the topic of the show was whether Phillip Ervin — who has returned to the big leagues with a vengeance this week — has a chance to unseat Billy Hamilton as the starting center fielder for the Cincinnati Reds. We also discussed the incredible season we’re witnessing …
Jesse Winker, you may have noticed, is finally getting some playing time in the big leagues. Through his first 70-odd plate appearances, he’s been more or less a league average hitter. He’s also been above average at getting on base, even though his batting average isn’t great. That’s right, kids. Jesse Winker can take a …
Devin Mesoraco simply can’t catch a break. (No pun intended.) Mesoraco took a pitch off his left foot in the second inning against the Chicago Cubs last night. The Reds revealed today that the foot is broken, and Mesoraco will miss three to six weeks: Mesoraco, who returned to Cincinnati on Tuesday to meet with …
Yesterday, we took a look at the 2017 Reds and where they stood among others at their position around the major league. What we discovered was that the Reds really need major upgrades to the pitching staff if they expect to compete in 2017. As I was putting together that piece, I thought it might …
As Reds fans, we have our blinders on a little bit. We’re following this team every single day, game to game, inning to inning, pitch to pitch, and it’s pretty easy to get lost in the weeds. Occasionally, it’s good to take a step and try to see the bigger picture. I mean, we all …
We at The Nation have lost The Big Bopper. We lost a beloved player, a guy who played every day without a gripe, played hurt and never got involved in drama on or off the field. We lost a big, strong quiet leader who had a connection with Cincinnati Reds fans. We have lost Lee …
If he makes it through September, Bryan Price will have been the manager of the Cincinnati Reds for four seasons. Four long, losing seasons. The stats on Price’s Baseball-Reference page don’t inspire confidence. His Reds teams have had a winning percentage of .424. The fourth-place finish in the division in 2014 will be Price’s high-water …
Last week, I had an opportunity to visit New York City again and it was a blast. (It always is.) Saw a couple of Broadway musicals, a couple of concerts, a Tottenham Hotspur soccer game…and the Reds happened to be in town, as well. I wasn’t going to miss an opportunity to check out the …
Can we have a group fist bump for Adam Duvall? Last night, he turned the game in the Reds’ favor with a two-run homer in the sixth inning, the first of three off R.A. Dickey in the inning – after which he was the victim of a Joey Votto fake: “I was all in, he … Continue reading
The Reds begin the final leg of their three-city, 10-game road trip tonight in Atlanta against the Braves. It’s the Reds’ first look at the Braves’ new SunTrust Park, which is unique among new stadium projects. Not only do the Braves own the stadium, they own the land around the stadium, and are serving as … Continue reading
Joey Votto is perhaps the greatest Red in the history of all Reds. You may want to say Joe Morgan or Pete Rose or Johnny Bench or Barry Larkin, but you would be wrong because none of them are Joey Votto. Not only is Joey Votto just a step below the great Ted Williams (RIP … Continue reading

The Cincinnati Reds (50-71) will try to leave Wrigley Field with a series split against the Chicago Cubs (63-56). The two teams square off in the series finale today at 2:20 PM. The Reds had a big comeback last night, but still fell short 7-6 on a walk-off, wild-pitch in the bottom of the 9th. The … Continue reading
It’s hard to believe that there is just about three weeks remaining in the regular season for the Reds minor league teams. We’ll be keeping any eye out to see who the Reds might recall for reinforcements when the rosters expand come the first of September. Let’s check out what is going on down on … Continue reading
Go read this excellent piece by Mark Sheldon over at MLB.com, entitled “Votto’s influence seen among Reds, and beyond.” There are some good quotes from guys like Cubs manager Joe Maddon and Kris Bryant, but the best stuff is when Joey Votto’s teammates start waxing eloquent about what they’ve learned from the sweet-hitting first baseman. … Continue reading
