In a heated matchup at Great American Ball Park, the Cincinnati Reds fell 5-3 to the Seattle Mariners on April 16, 2025, snapping their four-game win streak. The game, however, was overshadowed by a controversial umpire decision that left Reds fans fuming. In the eighth inning, with the Reds trailing 5-3, star shortstop Elly De La Cruz stole second base, a play that could have shifted momentum. Umpire Chris Segal, however, called De La Cruz out on an interference call, a decision that baffled players, coaches, and fans alike. Posts on X captured the outrage, with fans booing loudly and one user calling it a "phantom call" that changed the game's outcome. The interference ruling, which occurred with runners on base, killed a potential Reds rally. De La Cruz's speed and base-stealing prowess (4 steals this season) made the call particularly costly. Despite a valiant effort, including three runs in the seventh fueled by Christian Encarnacion-Strand and Jose Trevino, Cincinnati couldn't overcome the early 5-0 deficit or the disputed call. Cal Raleigh's two homers and Bryce Miller's eight strikeouts powered Seattle, while Reds starter Nick Martinez struggled, allowing four runs. X posts reflected fans' frustration, with some demanding accountability from umpires and others lamenting missed opportunities. The game's box score shows De La Cruz was caught stealing, but video replays suggested the call was questionable. While umpiring controversies are part of baseball, this incident stung a Reds team fighting to maintain momentum. With a rubber match looming, Cincinnati hopes to rebound against Seattle's Bryan Woo, but the bitter taste of this loss lingers.

The Reds entered the series with a 2-4 record from their opening homestand and hoped to turn things around on the road. However, they dropped three of the four games to the Brewers, finishing the series with a 3-7 overall record and losing all three series to begin the year. The series opened on April 3 with a 1-0 loss, extending a troubling trend of low-scoring games for Cincinnati. The Reds' offense struggled mightily, managing just one run across their previous 35 innings. On April 4, they broke their scoreless streak in a 3-2 defeat, with Christian Encarnacion-Strand and Jeimer Candelario driving in runs late, but it wasn't enough to overcome Milwaukee's early lead, powered by Brice Turang's two-run homer. A bright spot came on April 5, when the Reds erupted for an 11-7 victory, snapping a four-game skid. TJ Friedl led the charge, going 4-for-5 with a homer, joined by Blake Dunn, Encarnacion-Strand, and Jose Trevino, who also went deep. Brady Singer earned the win despite allowing five runs. The series closed on April 6 with an 8-2 loss, as the Brewers capitalized on Cincinnati's pitching and defensive miscues, sealing the Reds' fate in the set. It's been a rocky 3-7 opening. They began at home with a six-game stand against the San Francisco Giants and Texas Rangers, splitting the Giants series (1-2) and taking one of three from the Rangers, highlighted by a 14-3 rout on March 31, driven by Elly De La Cruz's seven-RBI performance. However, consecutive 1-0 losses to Texas exposed offensive woes that persisted into Milwaukee. Pitching has been a strength—Hunter Greene and Singer have shone—but the bats have been inconsistent, scoring heavily in wins but vanishing in losses. With a tough stretch ahead, including a rematch with the Giants in San Francisco, the Reds, under new manager Terry Francona, must find offensive rhythm to climb out of the NL Central's fourth-place spot and reverse their 22-8 deficit against Milwaukee over the last 30 meetings.

Nick Kirby and Trace Fowler recap the Cincinnati Reds offensive explosion on Saturday night in Milwaukee. They discuss big nights from TJ Friedl, Jose Trevino, Blake Dunn and Christian Encarnacion-Strand. They also discuss the start from Brady Singer, the effort from the bullpen, Jake Fraley's big error and his role on the team and Santiago Espinal batting second. Plus a recap of all the Reds minor league action and a preview of Sunday's series finale in Milwaukee.   Today's Episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XScVoDnJz-Y&t=916s    DSC Commodities: https://deepsouthcommodities.com/    CALL OR TEXT 988 FOR HELP DAY OR NIGHT: https://mantherapy.org/get-help/national-resources/164/lifeline-crisis-chat    OTHER CHATTERBOX PROGRAMING:   Off The Bench: https://otbthombrennaman.podbean.com/  Chatterbox Bengals: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chatterbox-bengals-a-cincinnati-bengals-nfl-podcast/id1652732141  Chatterbox Bearcats: https://chatterboxbearcats.podbean.com/  Dialed In with Thom Brennaman: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjPJjEFaBD7VLxmcTTWV0ubHu_cSFdEDU  Chatterbox Man on the Street: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ye-HjJdmmQ&list=PLjPJjEFaBD7V0GOh595LyjumA0bZaqwh9&pp=iAQB

The Cincinnati Reds kicked off their 2025 season with a three-game series against the San Francisco Giants at Great American Ball Park, finishing with a 1-2 record over the weekend of March 28-30. The series, which marked the Reds' Opening Day on March 27 (played on a Thursday), offered a mix of promise and frustration for fans as the team showed flashes of brilliance but struggled to secure the series win. In the opener on March 27, the Reds fell 3-2 despite a competitive effort, with the Giants edging them out in a tightly contested game. Saturday's matchup on March 29 brought a much-needed victory, 3-2, as the Reds bounced back with standout performances. Matt McLain, returning from injury, and Christian Encarnacion-Strand each homered, while Elly De La Cruz contributed an RBI. Starter Nick Lodolo battled through six innings, and the bullpen, anchored by Emilio Pagán's save, held firm. This win evened the series at 1-1, sparking optimism among fans. However, the rubber match on Sunday, March 30, slipped away with a 5-3 loss. The Reds' downfall came in two shaky innings that undermined an otherwise solid weekend of baseball. Despite the defeat, the team displayed encouraging signs—defensive highlights like double plays and moments of offensive firepower—suggesting potential for the long season ahead. With 158 games remaining, the consensus among fans, as reflected in posts on X, is that while the Reds could have taken two of three with a few better pitches or breaks, there's plenty to build on. Under new manager Terry Francona, the Reds showcased a roster blending young stars like De La Cruz with veterans aiming to turn talent into wins. Though the series ended on a sour note, it's early days, and Cincinnati's faithful remain hopeful for a playoff push.

Christian Encarnacion-Strand broke a 2-2 tie with a solo home run in the 6th inning Saturday and the Reds beat the Giants 3-2. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Welcome to Episode 53 of TableSetters! This week, we're joined by Mike Petraglia, host of Code Reds, the Cincinnati Reds podcast by CLNS Media. A seasoned journalist with years of experience covering the Reds, MLB, and beyond, Mike offers invaluable insights into Cincinnati's outlook for 2025. Follow him on X @Trags for his expert commentary. We begin with the Reds' most significant offseason move: the hiring of Terry Francona as manager. What impact will Francona's leadership bring to the team's culture and playoff aspirations? Mike shares his thoughts on how this hire could signal a transformative era for the franchise. Next, we analyze the acquisition of Gavin Lux. Could he take over at second base, and how might this affect Matt McClain's role as he returns from injury? We explore the implications for the infield and beyond. The Reds' pitching staff is also in focus. With Hunter Greene at the forefront and additions like Brady Singer and Rhett Lowder strengthening the rotation, what key factors will determine their success? Plus, we examine the potential impact of Carlos Estevez on the bullpen and his fit alongside Alexis Díaz. Elly De La Cruz remains the Reds' centerpiece. Could he be the player to redefine the future of MLB contracts? We discuss his immense potential, areas for growth, and whether an extension might already be in the works. We also reflect on the returns of Noelvi Marte and Christian Encarnacion-Strand, Chase Burns' rise as a pitching prospect, and the lasting legacy of Pete Rose following his passing. Lastly, we consider the Reds' chances of capturing the NL Central crown. Who presents the bigger challenge—the Cubs or the Brewers? Mike also shares the offseason move he wishes the Reds had made, his most memorable moment covering the team, and his Cincinnati sports Mount Rushmore. Follow us for more:

Take 10 with Tim – June 21, 20241. The injuries have been brutal of late. What is your advice for managers who have been kicked in the teeth multiple times this season with the loss of, just not fifth outfielder, put first, second, and third-round picks?2.    Mookie Betts will be out for 6 to 8 weeks with a fractured hand. This opens up an opportunity for a player to step up. Who do you think will seize this chance and make a significant impact?3.    Kyle Bradish will have Tommy John Surgery.  This should secure Cade Povich for the rest of the season.  How good can he be this year and in the future?4.    Bo Bichette hits the IL with a calf strain.  While it doesn't sound too bad, that doesn't seem to be the case this season.  Orelvis Martinez gets his chance.  Does he hit?  Does he stick?5.    Christian Encarnacion Strand might need season-ending surgery. Noelvi Marte should be finishing his 80-game suspension soon, as the Reds have played 75 games this year.  Is he the answer for playing time there.  Should fantasy managers be excited by the potential?6.    Anthony Rizzo is out for two months with a fractured arm.  Ben Rice has been promoted and will get the strong side of the platoon.  Should fantasy managers be excited about this?7.    Justin Verlander hits the IL with neck soreness.  It might not be too long, but the Astros are out of pitchers.  What will they do?  Is there anything of interest for fantasy managers?8.    Yimi Garcia hits the IL with a nerve issue in his elbow.  I've heard of no time frame for his return.  Who is the pickup for saves now in Toronto?9.    As expected, Mike Trout is healing slower than anticipated.  It's really interesting that some people heal faster than others.  I remember when Albert Puljos broke his arm and spent the minimum time on the IL (15 days).  Trout appears to be on the opposite side of that equation.  Not a criticism, just an observation and a disappointment to his fantasy managers.  Thoughts?10.    Tyler Black has been promoted back to the Brewers.  Does he get enough playing time to be relevant for fantasy managers?11.    Johan Rojas was demoted earlier this week when the Phillies activated Trea Turner from the IL.  Were you surprised that Rojas got demoted?  They kept Mickey Moniak, Christian Pache, and David Dahl.  Sure, they were all of out options, but really?12.    The Mets are playing much better, and arguably, Christian Scott, their best pitcher, was sent back to the minors and continues to pitch well.  What am I missing?13.    What hitter are you targeting for this weekend's FAAB?14.    What pitcher are you targeting for this weekend's FAAB?

The Cincinnati Reds seven-game losing streak is turning the toughest stretch of the season into the stretch that is sinking the 2024 season. The Reds need to turn this around and fast after a night where the Reds left a lot of scoring opportunities on the field against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Reds got hits, they just didn't get enough runs scored. Also, the Reds roster management is questionable with Christian Encarnacion-Strand being placed on the IL for a broken wrist what feels like 11 days late. And the reasons Thursday's game is a must-win include what comes next, a 10-game west coast trip, and the fact that Hunter Greene is pn the mound. Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…

The Cincinnati Reds fell to the San Diego Padres on Tuesday night in a frustrating way. Jeff and Steve discuss what it means for Nick Martinez and if it's time to look elsewhere when the Reds need a spot start. Is someone like Connor Phillips or Carson Spiers a better option to call up from Triple-A Louisville next time? Also, the Reds are playing shorthanded with Tyler Stephenson, Christian Encarnacion-Strand, and Jake Fraley all sitting on the bench and not getting into the game. Why do the Reds do this and are they tipping their hand as to how they feel about their own depth, at the moment? And it's time to stop worrying about Jeimer Candelario, but maybe Fraley needs to be the guy we show concern for. Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…
