The Reds made a surprising playoff push just one year removed from a 100-loss season. While they came up short in the final weekend, the influx of young talent reintroduced a jolt of excitement to the organization.

Four games!
We sure spent a lot of time getting worked up for an 80-loss team whose starting rotation boasted an ERA worsted by only the lowly Colorado Rockies and Oakland Athletics, didn’t we?
Anyway, while the Cincinnati Reds play golf during the first week of their offseason, the MLB Playoffs begin in earnest this afternoon. ESPN.com’s Jeff Passan has a handy, pocket-sized tweet about today’s action, so I’ll embed that here for your...

Slugger Joey Votto might play his last game for the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday when they visit the St. Louis Cardinals in the season finale. Votto struggled to come back from shoulder surgery but is finishing the season on the active roster.

Conspicuously absent for a third straight day...
The Cincinnati Reds dropped 19 runs on the St. Louis Cardinals last night, so the absence of Joey Votto from the lineup for a second straight day mattered not in the grand scheme. Nick Martini picked up for him by socking an early 3-run homer, and the Reds simply boat-raced the Birds from there on.
Tonight, it’s lefty Drew Rom on the mound for St. Louis, and it’s understandable that Reds manager...
The Cincinnati Reds will try to keep their slim wild-card hopes alive on Saturday night when they visit the St. Louis Cardinals. The Reds (82-78) routed the Cardinals 19-2 Friday in the opener of the three-game series to remain 1 1/2 games behind the Miami Marlins (83-76) in the race for the National League's third wild-card slot.

The Cincinnati Reds might or might not make the playoffs this season – it's probably a stretch that they will – but regardless of how the final days of the 2023 campaign shake out, the organization has rewarded GM Nick Krall with a promotion and extension.

There are three games remaining in the 2023 regular season for the Cincinnati Reds, and they’re going to need to win them all to even begin the conversation about the 2023 playoffs. Stuck behind both the Miami Marlins and Chicago Cubs in the race for the final Wild Card spot (and bereft of the tiebreaker with Miami), winning out and hoping their competitors fall flat is all the hope they have left at making this once-promising season into an...

All they need is you.
Yesterday’s 4-3 loss to the Cleveland Guardians was a crushing one, though it did not completely end the Cincinnati Reds chances of making the 2023 playoffs. It effectively ended them, though the math of the situation suggests there’s still a greater than zero possibility they make it in.
What kind of chance do they have, exactly? According to Codify, it ain’t too pretty.
4 days left in the regular season!

The Reds take aim at a short-series sweep of the Guardians.
Keep winning and keep hoping, that’s all the Cincinnati Reds can do.
The Reds battled early and often to claw out an 11-7 victory over the Cleveland Guardians on Tuesday evening, brushing off an awful start by starter Hunter Greene (7 ER in 3.0 IP) to pound out enough homers to take home a vital win. They still sit on the outside of the National League playoff race looking in, however,...
