The Cincinnati Reds are set to face the National League Central-leading Chicago Cubs in a pivotal three-game series at Great American Ball Park, starting Friday, May 23, 2025. This series marks the return of Reds ace Hunter Greene from the 15-day injured list, a development that has fans and analysts buzzing with anticipation. Greene's comeback is a critical boost for Cincinnati as they aim to close the gap with the division-leading Cubs. Greene, a first-time All-Star in 2024, has been sidelined since May 7 due to a Grade 1 right groin strain sustained during a start against Atlanta. Before the injury, the 25-year-old right-hander was dominant, posting a 4-2 record with a 2.36 ERA over 45.2 innings, striking out 61 batters while issuing just eight walks, and maintaining a stellar 0.81 WHIP. His return on Friday, confirmed by manager Terry Francona, follows a successful 35-pitch simulated game on May 18, where Greene reported no discomfort and easy velocity. Francona's confidence in Greene's readiness underscores the pitcher's meticulous preparation, including a bullpen session in Pittsburgh this week. Facing the Cubs, Greene brings a strong track record. He is 4-1 with a 4.06 ERA in seven career starts against Chicago, including a standout performance on May 26, 2023, when he tossed six no-hit innings with 11 strikeouts in a 9-0 victory at Wrigley Field. However, Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki poses a challenge, hitting .462 with two homers in 13 at-bats against Greene. Chicago will counter with left-hander Matthew Boyd (4-2, 2.98 ERA), who has struggled in Cincinnati, going 0-3 with a 9.69 ERA in four career starts. The Reds' rotation for the series is formidable, with Andrew Abbott (3-0, 1.80 ERA) and Nick Lodolo (4-4, 3.22 ERA) slated for Saturday and Sunday. Cincinnati, sitting at .500, sees this series as a chance to gain ground in the NL Central, especially with two of their next four series against the Cubs. Greene's return injects energy and leadership into a young Reds squad, and his performance could set the tone for a crucial stretch. With the Cubs riding high, this matchup promises high-stakes baseball, with Greene's electric arm at the forefront.

The Cincinnati Reds' recent series loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates in May 2025 at PNC Park highlighted both their persistent offensive struggles and the resilience of their pitching staff, casting a shadow over their postseason aspirations. Entering the three-game set with a four-game winning streak and a .500 record, the Reds hoped to capitalize on the Pirates' last-place standing in the NL Central. However, despite stellar pitching, the Reds dropped two of three games, falling to 25-26 and exposing critical weaknesses that could define their season. In the series opener on May 19, the Reds secured a convincing 7-1 victory, driven by a late offensive surge with five runs in the final two innings. Austin Hays' three-hit performance and Nick Lodolo's six strong innings set an optimistic tone. However, the momentum fizzled in the next two games. On May 20, Pittsburgh's Bailey Falter outdueled Nick Martinez, who allowed just one run over six innings, but the Reds' offense was silenced in a 1-0 shutout. Bryan Reynolds' RBI single in the sixth proved decisive, as Cincinnati managed only four hits. The series finale on May 21 saw another pitching gem wasted, with Brady Singer allowing two runs over five innings, but the Reds' bats mustered just one run in a 3-1 loss to Andrew Heaney and the Pirates' bullpen. The Reds' offense was abysmal, scoring one run across the final 18 innings, with nine hits and a 1-for-10 mark with runners in scoring position. Manager Terry Francona, in his first year with Cincinnati, called it “just baseball,” but fans on X expressed frustration, labeling the team “mentally weak” for collapsing against a weaker opponent. Despite limiting Pittsburgh to five runs over the series, the Reds' inability to produce timely hits underscored a season-long issue, with injuries to Jake Fraley and others not helping. On a positive note, the Reds' starting pitchers posted a 1.70 ERA over their last seven games, and Hunter Greene's imminent return from a groin injury offers hope. However, with a crucial stretch of division games ahead, including six against the first-place Chicago Cubs, the Reds must address their offensive woes to stay in the wild-card race. This series loss, while not catastrophic, serves as a stark reminder of the fine margins in a competitive season.
Trace Fowler and Nick Kirby do not hold back on this show about the inexcusable decisions by Cincinnati Reds manager Terry Francona to not pinch hit the reigning NL Player of the Week Will Benson and Gavin Lux late in the game vs RHP. Nick also recaps the Reds minor league action and previews the series finale against the Pirates.

Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts to the day in Pittsburgh sports news live around 5 p.m. Eastern. He weighs in on a report from MMQB's Albert Breer that the Steelers inquired about trading for New Orleans Saints receiver Chris Olave earlier in the offseason. Were they right to make their move for DK Metcalf instead? Should general manager Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin mount another attempt to acquire Olave as a No. 2 after sending George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys? And how much confidence should we have in the current receivers room that includes names like Robert Woods, Calvin Austin III and Roman Wilson? Paul weighs in on those question, the NFL's decision not the ban the "tush push" popularized by the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles; and the conclusion of the Pirates' three-game series with the Cincinnati Reds at PNC Park.

On May 20, 2025, the Cincinnati Reds fell to the Pittsburgh Pirates in a tightly contested 1-0 game at PNC Park, snapping their five-game winning streak. The loss, detailed across sources like ESPN and Redleg Nation, highlighted the Reds' struggle to capitalize on opportunities against a Pirates team desperate to end a four-game skid. Despite a strong pitching performance from Cincinnati's Nick Martinez, Pittsburgh's Bailey Falter stole the show, delivering seven scoreless innings with five strikeouts, allowing only four hits. The Pirates' lone run came in the second inning, sparked by Oneil Cruz's speed and a clutch hit, enough to secure the victory in a game that lasted just 2 hours and 22 minutes. The Reds, sitting at 25-24 and third in the NL Central, had been riding high after sweeping the Cleveland Guardians and defeating the Pirates 7-1 the previous night. However, their offense, ranked 12th in on-base percentage (.321) and 13th in slugging (.397), went silent. Key players like Elly De La Cruz and TJ Friedl, who hit a triple, couldn't convert opportunities, with the team leaving runners stranded. Fans on platforms like Redleg Nation expressed frustration, noting the Reds' inability to overcome Falter's command and Pittsburgh's opportunistic play. Comments like “Can't be a good team and get shut out 25 times” reflected the disappointment in a game where Cincinnati's bats failed to ignite. Martinez, despite the loss, was solid, continuing his recent form with a 2.05 ERA over his last five starts. He kept the Pirates' offense, the league's worst in runs scored (142) and slugging (.320), in check, but the early run proved decisive. Pittsburgh, at 15-33, capitalized on their home field, with Cruz's two steals and two walks setting the tone. The game underscored the Reds' inconsistency against weaker teams, as they had dominated Pittsburgh in four prior 2025 matchups, outscoring them 21-6. This loss, witnessed by 10,071 fans, exposed Cincinnati's vulnerability in low-scoring affairs, despite their 19-5 record when scoring first. As the Reds prepared for the series finale, the focus shifted to rebounding offensively and leveraging their pitching depth, with Hunter Greene's return looming. For a team aiming to climb the NL Central, overcoming such setbacks against struggling opponents like the Pirates is critical to sustaining momentum.

When readers meet Anton, he is up to his eyeballs in debt and desperate to find a way out of his dire situation. Enter Ricky, Anton's old art school buddy, who has concocted a daring solution: art thievery. The plan is straightforward. While catering parties for members of the Cincinnati Reds and Bengals teams, who are unknowingly buying priceless works of previously pilfered art, Anton and Ricky swap out the paintings with forgeries, then return the originals to the insurance company for the generous reward money. Easy-peasy, until Anton discovers that his new girlfriend is the daughter of a ruthless Russian mob boss. Adding to his plateful of anxieties are the emotional and financial strains of supporting a son he's never met, fielding threats from a Tolstoy-quoting loan shark, and mounting tension with his food truck partner.

The Cincinnati Reds' recent five-game winning streak in the 2025 MLB season, culminating on May 19, 2025, marks a significant turnaround for the team, pushing them above .500 with a 25-24 record. This streak, tied for their longest this season, showcases a blend of stellar pitching, solid defense, and timely offense under the guidance of new manager Terry Francona, hired on October 4, 2024, for his proven track record, including two World Series titles with the Boston Red Sox. The streak began with a surge after dropping two games to the Chicago White Sox. Key to this run was the Reds' pitching staff, with starters like Andrew Abbott delivering, as seen in his five-inning performance against the Cleveland Guardians, navigating a bases-loaded jam. The bullpen was equally impressive, allowing just three earned runs over 20 innings. Defensively, the Reds were nearly flawless, committing only one error across 45 innings. Offensively, the team erupted for nine or more hits in each game, with a season-high seven doubles in their May 19 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Standout performances included Will Benson's three-run homer against the Guardians and contributions from stars like Elly De La Cruz, whose electrifying play continues to fuel the lineup. This streak, a stark contrast to last season when the Reds never reached .500 this late, has reignited fan optimism. Francona's leadership, paired with a rotation led by Hunter Greene (4-2, 2.36 ERA), positions the Reds as contenders in the NL Central. As they face upcoming series against the Cubs and Pirates, maintaining this momentum could solidify their postseason aspirations, making this streak a defining moment in their 2025 campaign In Seattle, the Mariners have prioritized season ticket holders for the 2025 MLB season, offering exclusive benefits like priority postseason ticket access, discounts on merchandise (15% off, 20% on Tuesdays), dining at The Boxyard (15% off), and parking. Through the MLB Ballpark app, members manage tickets, forward them, or sell extras on StubHub, the official fan-to-fan marketplace. However, the Mariners strictly regulate reselling, classifying those who buy primarily to resell as "Ticket Brokers," potentially losing benefits or facing account cancellation. Posts on X highlight similar policies in Indianapolis, where the Colts sent letters to season ticket holders, warning that purchasing tickets solely for resale violates ticketing policies. For the Indianapolis Indians (MiLB), 2025 season ticket holders enjoy up to 40% off gate prices, priority seating, exclusive event invitations, on-field batting practice, and a personal service representative. Flexible plans range from full-season to mini or flex packages, catering to varied schedules. Both teams emphasize enhancing fan experiences while enforcing strict anti-resale measures to protect loyal fans, reflecting a broader trend in sports ticketing to reward committed supporters and curb profiteering.

In this episode, Paul talks to Tommy Harrison who is from Ohio and had a ten year career in professional baseball. The first thing they discussed is how Tommy is an Ohio State fan and how he lives in a “house divided” because he married a fan of their rival school. They talked about growing up in an area that Tommy described as the country, but they still lived in a neighborhood. It was a whole lot of sports for Tommy growing up as he played football and wrestled, but it was baseball that became his favorite. Tommy became a pitcher and they discussed the mental and mechanical parts of baseball especially for the position of pitcher. Tommy told Paul of the places he got to play, the players he played with and the people that he got to meet during his baseball journey and he said he would not change a thing. He then told Paul about his career as a teacher, coach and mentor to countless kids. They finished by talking about his golf game (he's really good) and his favorite baseball team being the Cincinnati Reds (even though he played for the Braves).

Cincinnati Reds Sweep Guardians with Will Benson's Heroics The Cincinnati Reds completed a stunning three-game sweep of the Cleveland Guardians on May 18, 2025, at Great American Ball Park, their first such sweep of their in-state rivals since 2012. The series, part of the 2025 Ohio Cup, showcased the Reds' resurgence, with outfielder Will Benson emerging as the standout performer. Benson, a former Guardian, tormented his old team, hitting four home runs across the series, including a career-first two-homer game in the 3-1 finale. On Friday, his second-inning homer and two RBIs sparked a 5-4 win. Saturday's solo shot in a 4-1 victory marked his third straight game with a homer, and Sunday's two blasts drove in all three Reds runs. Since his May 9 call-up from Triple-A, Benson has been scorching, batting .423 (11-for-26) with five homers in eight games, a stark contrast to his .650 OPS in 2024. His plate discipline, honed with hitting coach Chris Valaika, has been key: “I'm swinging at pitches I want and taking those I don't,” Benson said. The Reds' pitching complemented Benson's offensive explosion. Starter Andrew Abbott delivered five gritty, scoreless innings on Sunday, navigating a bases-loaded jam. The bullpen, including closer Emilio Pagán's third save in three days, limited Cleveland to six runs across the series. Cleveland struggled, going 2-for-16 with runners in scoring position in the finale. This sweep, following a 7-1 rout of the Chicago White Sox, propelled the Reds to .500 (24-24) and ignited momentum heading into a series against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Benson's power surge, paired with Cincinnati's crisp play, signals a team finding its rhythm under manager Terry Francona
Eric Phillips, Cory T. Phillips, and Mike Hart recap the Cincinnati Reds' thrilling comeback victory over the Cleveland Guardians at Great American Ball Park. They highlight Will Benson and Rece Hinds' pivotal home runs and praise the bullpen's dominant performance. The trio also previews the Reds' next game, as they aim for a series sweep.

The all-time hit king, Pete Rose, is no longer banned from Major League Baseball, seven months after his death. A new MLB policy announced this week ends permanent bans from the sport once the person dies. The change impacts Rose and 17 other former players, including "Shoeless" Joe Jackson. Ever since he was banned in 1989 for gambling on baseball while he was a player and manager of the Cincinnati Reds, the debate over whether Rose should be inducted into baseball's Hall of Fame has been a constant subject for sports journalists and talk programs. Rose's removal from the ineligibility list makes an induction possible. FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent and diehard Cincinnati Reds fan Chad Pergram covered Rose's banishment back in the '80s and joins the Rundown to discuss the legendary player's complex legacy, the politics surrounding Rose, and the likelihood he will get a shrine in Cooperstown.

In this special episode of Gangland Wire, host Gary Jenkins takes a deep dive into the life, career, and controversy surrounding Pete Rose, the legendary Major League Baseball icon who recently passed away at 83. Known as “Charlie Hustle,” Rose's name is forever etched in baseball history with franchise records in games played, hits, and runs scored—primarily during his storied tenure with the Cincinnati Reds. Gary reflects on Rose's gritty, high-energy playing style, recalling key moments like his controversial performance in the 1980 World Series, a memory that holds special weight for Kansas City fans. But Rose's career wasn't just about records and accolades—it was also marked by one of the most notorious scandals in sports history. This episode tackles the darker side of Rose's legacy: his gambling addiction. Gary explores how Rose's betting habits led him into dangerous territory, including associations with mob-connected bookies, mounting debts, and investigations that eventually culminated in the damning Dowd Report. With evidence linking his bets directly to baseball games—including some he played in—Rose's choices ultimately cost him his place in the Baseball Hall of Fame. Listeners will hear a detailed breakdown of Rose's gambling spiraled out of control, the organized crime figures behind his wagers, and the broader integrity implications for the sport. Gary shares his perspective on the ongoing debate: Should Pete Rose be reinstated, or does the scandal outweigh his accomplishments? Subscribe to get gangster stories weekly.

[0:00] Well, hey, all you wiretappers out there, there's that little special extra for you guys. Because of the passing of Pete Rose, former MLB star, I want to talk about what happened to him. He died of natural causes last week at age 83. You know, this guy was a hell of a ballplayer. I'm sure most, I think everybody should know who he is, but if you don't, I'm going to tell you a little bit about him. He mainly played with the Cincinnati Reds. He also played with the Phillies and maybe the Expos for a short period of time, but mainly the Phillies and the Reds. He set Cincinnati Reds franchise records like you couldn't believe, and he became the face of the Reds. After he retired from baseball, he became the Reds' manager for a period of time. We remember him pretty well in Kansas City because he played for the Phillies in 1980, and they beat us in the seventh game of the 80s series. He's a Cincinnati native, and he was the all-time leader for the Cincinnati Reds in games played, 2,722, played appearances, 12,344. [1:08] Runs scored, 1,741, hits, 3,358, singles, 2,490, doubles, 601, and walks, 1,210. I guess he wasn't a big home run hitter, but anyhow, he was a hell of a player. Plus, defensively, he was magnificent. He was hustling all the time. And his whole career, he had 4,256 hits. Now, anybody that goes over 4,000 hits is a pretty big deal in baseball. He was a hustler like you couldn't believe, both on the field and off the field. You know, once early in his career, he drew a lot of criticism for taking out a catcher in an all-star game when, you know, there's nothing at stake there. But he is blasted home, and the ball beats him home, and he just takes out that catcher. He played with complete abandon, if you ever remember seeing him play. [2:05] But he had an Achilles heel, and that's why we're here today. He was either a gambling addict, or at the very least, he wanted to gamble on sports so bad that he r...
