Cincinnati Reds look to doom season for St. Louis Cardinals this week in GABP

It’s a four-game set on the banks of the Ohio River.

It may be a slight exaggeration that the Cincinnati Reds could, in effect, bury the St. Louis Cardinals in a series that will begin in the month of April.

It may also very much be the case that the next four games could seriously alter the course of both teams’ seasons, with the front offices of the respective clubs already showing their hand for the direction in which they anticipated this...

So say you!

Graham Ashcraft brings a devastating cutter to the mound each and every time he steps upon it, at times humming it up and under the elbows of his opponents at nearly 100 mph. Paired with a slider that often tops 90 mph itself, he’s become quite the two-pitch pitcher at this juncture of his career, the kind that often makes an elite relief option.

He’s appeared in 70 games in his career, yet in precisely none of those has he ever...

Nick Lodolo’s Sunday gem makes him Cincinnati Reds player of the week

Photo by Matthew Stockman/Getty Images

The lefty spun his best outing of the year.

Nick Lodolo entered play on Sunday having been good for the Cincinnati Reds so far in 2025 even if he hadn’t looked like the best vintage of his own self just yet.

His fastball velocity has ticked down a full mph from 2024, and he’d relied on it about 12.5% less often this year. Instead, he’d upped his off-speed usage, throwing his slider almost 7% more often and his change-up an additional 7%, too. The...

Austin Hays, Reds ride power surge into finale vs. Rockies

Even after a two-homer game Saturday afternoon, Austin Hays may not be the hottest member of the Cincinnati Reds. For Ryan McMahon, an epic slump symbolizes all that is going wrong for the Colorado Rockies.

Reds look to rock reeling Rockies in Coors Field this weekend

Now’s the time!

The Colorado Rockies lost a baseball game yesterday, something you can say about most days during the early going of this season. What made yesterday particularly special, however, is they actually lost twice.

The Kansas City Royals dispatched said Rockies on both sides of a doubleheader, leaving Colorado sitting at a dismal 4-20 through 24 games of 2025. That’s the kind of record that makes Cincinnati Reds...
