The 2018 season is officially in the rear view mirror for the Reds. Realistically it's been over since April. I like to follow the off season moves. It's the first glimpse into what strategy the FO will deploy. Are they going to continue down a familiar path dancing with most of the roster they...

Hunter Greene is out for the season with UCL sprain. The Reds say he'll immediately begin rehab and be evaluated over the off season. A sprain isn't the end of the world, but it's not a good sign either. Combine that with Nick Senzel's season ending injury and vertigo and the future starts...

After a nice resurgence in May and June the bottom has fell out. The title of this thread sums it up for me. Injuries can be used as an excuse, but it's a lame one at best. All teams have injuries every season. It's a constant that has to be accounted for in organizational depth. If you can't...

Well, it's games left and not beer. Unless you're drinking one beer per game and that most certainly not enough beer.

There were 26,000 fans at last night's game. There were even some Reds fans there. Walked up to the concession stand and you could hear the crowd roaring as their team was in the midst of another rally. You'd think the home team Reds were mounting a comeback, but sadly it was the majority...

Price is gone and Riggleman is in. Pitching coach Jenkins replaced by Danny Darwin. Pat Kelly promoted to bench coach.

Pitchers and catchers report today.

This can serve as our non- Reds related catchall. There's very few that contribute, but it's still nice to have some semblance of thread integrity.

Time to start a new thread. Not much going on until the Post Season ends. But there will be note worthy happenings to follow.

Good scoreboard stumper at the ballpark last night. Four players with their last name beginning with the letter "M" have hit 25 or more home runs in a season while playing for the Reds. Who are they?

I think Homer has 3 years and a $25M mutual option for 2020. Hard to imagine the Reds will be picking up that option. Phillips is in his last year at $14M and Mesoraco $13M in 2018. IMO, Votto is the only current longterm deal that will be on the books when this team is ready to seriously...

The Reds announced Lamb had surgery for a herniated disc Monday. He was shutdown prior to the season ending for a left elbow injury. Back surgery in back to back off seasons, not a good sign. Between poor performance and an extensive injury history, makes me wonder how many more chances he has...

I'm not sold on Dick Williams. He's good with the press and fans in live furums, but as much as he talks about change, he generally circles back to defend the old guards past practice. Whether that's out of loyalty and respect or it's going to be business as usual, it's too early to tell. I'd...

We're three games into the regular season... time to start a new thread. Been a while since I've seen the weather this bad for the first 4 games. It's been cold, windy, rainy, and sleet tonight. Hasn't helped attendance. OD was a record 43,000 + crowd, these next three games haven't been much...

Well, it's not Cooperstown.....but he has been elected to the Reds' HOF. The Reds' HOF had adopted Cooperstown's policy of banned players being ineligible for consideration, but has apparently changed it's policy.

Bryan Price may have survived temporarily, but there are plenty of changes to the staff. Some coaches were let go and a few have new roles. The Reds opted to promote from within. Out are bench coach Jay Bell, pitching coach Jeff Pico and assistant hitting coach Lee Tinsley. Jim Riggleman is...

The Reds have purchased the contract of Jon Moscot to make his MLB debut tonight replacing Iglesias who is going to the DL with a oblique strain. Marquis was DFA to make room on the 40 man and Pedro Villarreal was recalled to round out the 25 man roster moves.

The Reds claimed Mattheus from Angel's waiver wire and he is expected to join the club Thursday. Iglesias is pitching today...so I assume Villarreal will be optioned to make room for him and Iglesias will be back in Louisville Thursday to make room for Mattheus. Someone else is either going to...

Initial reports are sprain to the ligament in his right elbow.

The Reds outrighted LeCure today. He cleared waivers and will be in Louisville. The $1.85M salary probably had a lot to do with the lack of interest around the league. Not shocking, but it surprised me a bit.

The Reds signed Meso to a 4 yr. $28M deal avoiding all his arbitration years plus one. IMO, I'd liked to have seen a couple years added to the deal to lock him up until he's 32. This deal makes much more sense to me than chasing the golden goose Cueto has become. It'd be hard to imagine the...

I see that Corky Miller has been added to the Dayton Dragon's coaching staff. His duties will also include being a minor league roving catcher instructor. No big surprise in this announcement. Everyone that follows Reds baseball pretty much knew he'd coach in some capacity after his playing...

The Reds have traded Ben Lively to the Phillies for the 37 year old Marlon Byrd. Byrd is due $8M with an additional $8M vesting option if he gets 550 PA's in 2015. The trade fell through a couple days ago, but apparently has been reworked to the satisfaction of both teams. Byrd's slash...

The Reds have gotten to a season high 6 games over .500 and are 3.5 games out with 70 games left on the schedule after sweeping a day night DH in dramatic fashion. Fans were jumping on the bandwagon after sweeping SF and jumping off after the SD series three days later. This team is like a...

The Reds have DFA Roger Bernandina and purchased the contract of Carlos Contreras from Pensacola. That puts the beleaguered bullpen at 8 pitchers. The Reds had been carrying 6 OF's for quite awhile, so it seemed like an inevitable move. The first attempt to upgrade the pen from within got off...
