A September Survival Guide for Reds Fans (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I think it’s a pretty safe assumption that you, like me, consider yourself a hardcore Cincinnati Reds fan. Here’s what tipped me off: You’re still reading about the Reds after Labor Day. I have more experience than most when it comes to watching this franchise long after it became clear they were dead in the water, so it’s time to put together our survival guide for September in a lost season. I offer four instructions, developed over 30 years of (usually) watching this exact scenario play out,
Catch Joey Votto Broadcasting the Reds-Cubs on Sunday Night (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Circle this Sunday night on your calendar if you haven’t already. Our old friend Joey Votto will be in the broadcast booth, providing analysis for NBC’s Sunday Night Baseball coverage of the Redlegs against the Cubbies at Wrigley Field. It’s the only Reds game on the national network this season, and it marks Votto’s first time analyzing one of his old team’s games from the national stage. Inject this into my veins. Votto announced the assignment as only he would. “I’m doing Reds/Cubs next Sunda
Why Reds Pitching Prospects Are Foolâs Gold (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I fired off a tweet back in 2018 making what I considered a fairly obvious argument: The Reds should consider trading their best pitching prospect at the time while his value was at its peak, before injuries complicated matters.

Read excerpt
Six weeks ago in this space, I made the case that the Reds might still be buyers at the trade deadline. I called it a narrow path, and I held the football one more time like Lucy tempting Charlie Brown. You have to pick your chances to be optimistic with this franchise, and I felt like there was a real case. I still think I was correct at the time. Now, with the trade deadline looming at 6 p.m. Monday, I really want to try to make that case again. The Reds have won three straight series since th
Reasons to Be Excited About the Reds at the All-Star Break (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In some ways, if you adjust your rose-colored glasses, these are exciting times for the Cincinnati Reds. Two of their young stars are in Philadelphia this week for the All-Star Game, and under almost any other circumstances the conversation here here would be entirely about them. Chase Burns (23 years old) and Sal Stewart (22) are two of the most exciting young players in baseball, and they’ve earned every bit of the recognition that comes with a first career All-Star selection. Burns is 11-1 wi
