Last night, the Indiana Pacers stunned the basketball world with a thrilling 111-110 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 1 of the 2025 NBA Finals. Tyrese Haliburton's game-winning shot capped a dramatic 15-point fourth-quarter comeback, marking Indiana's fifth such rally this postseason. Pascal Siakam led with 19 points and 10 rebounds, while Obi Toppin's 17 points off the bench sparked the upset. The Pacers' relentless pace and clutch play set the tone for a competitive series, proving their underdog status is no fluke. Switching to baseball, the Cincinnati Reds face a critical weekend series against the Chicago Cubs at Great American Ball Park. The Reds, hovering around .500, are fighting to stay in the NL Central race. After a rollercoaster May, where they split series against strong teams like the Dodgers and Braves, Cincinnati needs consistency. Their offense, led by Elly De La Cruz's speed and Jonathan India's on-base skills, has shown flashes of brilliance but struggles with runners in scoring position, batting just .240 in those spots this season. The Cubs, sitting third in the division, are a tough matchup. Their pitching staff, anchored by Shota Imanaga (2.95 ERA), has been stingy, allowing the third-fewest runs in the NL. Chicago's lineup, powered by Cody Bellinger and Seiya Suzuki, thrives on exploiting mistakes, making Cincinnati's pitching staff—prone to wildness—vulnerable. Reds starter Hunter Greene (3.45 ERA) takes the mound Friday, aiming to set the tone with his high-90s fastball. However, his command issues (4.1 BB/9) could be costly against the disciplined Cubs. Saturday's matchup features Nick Lodolo, whose breakout 2025 (3.12 ERA, 9.5 K/9) has been a bright spot for Cincinnati. He'll face Chicago's Justin Steele, a lefty who's limited opponents to a .220 average. The Reds must capitalize early, as the Cubs' bullpen ranks among the league's best. Sunday's finale pits Andrew Abbott against Kyle Hendricks, where Cincinnati's ability to work counts could decide the game. The Reds need at least two wins to gain ground in the division. De La Cruz's base-stealing (35 SB) and Spencer Steer's power (15 HR) will be key. Defensively, Cincinnati must tighten up after recent errors cost them games. Expect a high-energy series with playoff implications, as both teams vie for postseason

Eno, Trevor, and DVR discuss a lengthy absence of Pablo López following a Grade 2 teres major strain, and wonder if Chase Burns' arrival in Cincinnati might come earlier than expected with Hunter Greene's return to the IL.

On June 4, 2025, the Milwaukee Brewers dominated the Cincinnati Reds with a 9-1 victory at Great American Ball Park, securing their 12th consecutive series win against the Reds. The game, which decided the three-game series, showcased Milwaukee's offensive firepower and pitching depth, while Cincinnati struggled to find rhythm against a relentless Brewers squad. The Brewers struck early and often, with their bats erupting against Reds starter Andrew Abbott, who had been stellar in May with a 0.55 ERA. Abbott, however, faltered, allowing a season-high five runs. In the third inning, Brice Turang doubled and scored on Andruw Monasterio's single, giving Milwaukee a 1-0 lead. The fifth inning saw Jackson Chourio's two-run homer, his 10th of the season, pushing the score to 3-0. Daz Cameron added a two-run shot in the sixth, his first homer since July 2024, further widening the gap. The Brewers capped their offensive onslaught in the ninth with Isaac Collins' three-run homer off Wade Miley, sealing the 9-1 rout. Milwaukee's pitching was equally impressive. DL Hall opened, tossing three innings and allowing just one hit, notably escaping a bases-loaded jam in the third by inducing a lineout and groundout. Quinn Priester earned the win, allowing one run over five innings. The Brewers' staff stifled Cincinnati's offense, which managed only one run despite loading the bases early, highlighting their inability to capitalize on opportunities. For the Reds, the loss underscored ongoing struggles against their NL Central rivals. Cincinnati's lone run came late, but their offense fizzled after the third, continuing a trend of failing to score consistently against Milwaukee. The Reds' defense and baserunning also faltered, with miscues like a strikeout-throwout double play involving catcher Jose Trevino, as noted in posts on X. Fans expressed frustration, with one X user lamenting the Reds' predictable offensive woes. This game solidified Milwaukee's dominance over Cincinnati, with a 42-16 record in their last 58 meetings. The Brewers' balanced attack—combining timely hitting, power, and solid pitching—overwhelmed a Reds team fighting for NL Wild Card contention. As Milwaukee looks ahead to a series against the Padres, the Reds, now without Hunter Greene due to injury, face an uphill battle to regroup against the Diamondbacks.

Nick Kirby and Trace Fowler break down the Cincinnati Reds' exhilarating victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday night.

On June 3, 2025, the Cincinnati Reds snapped the Milwaukee Brewers' eight-game winning streak with a 4-2 victory at Great American Ball Park, delivering a much-needed boost to their season. The Reds, struggling with a 29-32 record and fourth place in the NL Central, showcased resilience against a red-hot Brewers team that had dominated them in recent matchups, winning 18 of their last 22 games at Cincinnati. This win, highlighted by strong pitching and timely hitting, offered a glimmer of hope for a Reds squad looking to turn their season around under manager Terry Francona. The game's turning point came early with Reds ace Hunter Greene on the mound. Despite concerns about his right groin, which required an MRI post-game, Greene battled through five innings, allowing just two runs. His performance was gritty, throwing 114 pitches— the most by any MLB pitcher this year— and striking out key Brewers hitters. However, discomfort in the fifth inning forced his early exit, leaving the bullpen to preserve the lead. The Reds' relievers, often a weak point, stepped up, with the bullpen delivering dominant frames to secure the win. Offensively, the Reds struck early, jumping to a 2-0 lead in the first inning. While their bats went quiet afterward, struggling to capitalize on opportunities—a recurring issue this season—they added crucial runs late to seal the game. Santiago Espinal and TJ Friedl contributed key hits, while Elly De La Cruz, despite personal grief following his sister's passing, showed heart by playing and adding to the team's effort. The Reds' offense, described as “feast or famine” in 2025, leaned on just enough production to outlast Milwaukee's Christian Yelich, who homered but couldn't spark a comeback. This victory was more than a single game for Cincinnati. It halted a slide that saw them lose momentum after a promising April. With injuries piling up—outfielder Austin Hays landed on the injured list with a foot contusion—and trade deadline decisions looming, the Reds needed a statement win. While Greene's health remains a concern, the team's ability to rally against a division rival suggests potential for a second-half surge. For Reds fans, last night's win was a reminder of the team's talent and tenacity, even in a challenging season.

On June 2, 2025, the Milwaukee Brewers edged out the Cincinnati Reds 3-2 in Game 1 of their series at Great American Ball Park, extending their winning streak to eight games, the longest since August 2023. The Brewers' victory was powered by Christian Yelich's heroics and a resilient pitching effort, while the Reds struggled to capitalize on early momentum. Yelich, fresh off being named National League Player of the Week, delivered the decisive blow with a 417-foot solo home run in the third inning off Reds starter Brady Singer (6-4, 4.60 ERA). The full-count slider, crushed to straightaway center, gave Milwaukee a 3-2 lead they wouldn't relinquish. Yelich's hot streak continued, as he's now batting .450 over a nine-game hitting streak, with six homers and 14 RBIs. Sal Frelick also contributed, going 2-for-4, bolstering the Brewers' offense. The Reds struck first, scoring two runs in the opening inning against Brewers starter Aaron Civale (1-1, 6.00 ERA). However, Civale settled down, pitching 5 1/3 innings, allowing just those two runs while striking out five. His recovery was critical, especially after missing nearly two months with a strained left hamstring. The Brewers' bullpen, a strength all season, sealed the deal. Rob Zastryzny, acquired from the Yankees in May, was pivotal in the sixth, striking out Jose Trevino and inducing a groundout from Santiago Espinal with runners on base. Trevor Megill closed the game with a perfect ninth, earning his 12th save in 13 chances. For Cincinnati, the loss highlighted ongoing offensive struggles. Despite the early lead, the Reds managed only a few hits after the first, with Singer's six innings undermined by Yelich's homer. The Reds' inability to convert opportunities, like the sixth-inning threat, underscored their 29-31 record and inconsistent play at home (14-14). The game, played before a lively Cincinnati crowd with temperatures at 76°F, showcased Milwaukee's depth and resilience. With Freddy Peralta (5-3, 2.77 ERA) set to face Hunter Greene (4-3, 2.63 ERA) in Game 2, the Brewers aim to keep their streak alive. Meanwhile, the Reds, desperate to snap out of their funk, face an uphill battle in this series.

The show opens by discussing missing lines for a few games but covering all available matchups. The Colorado Rockies visit the Miami Marlins with Chase Dollander facing Sandy Alcantara, who struggles with an 8.47 ERA and 1.67 WHIP, prompting both hosts to lean towards Rockies team total over and even Rockies run line. In the Houston Astros versus Pittsburgh Pirates game, Lance McCullers Jr. takes the mound for Houston after returning strong from injury while Paul Skenes starts for Pittsburgh. Despite Skenes' excellence, Griffin prefers fading the Pirates bullpen while Munaf leans under the 7.5 total. The Chicago Cubs face the Washington Nationals, with Cade Horton opposing Trevor Williams, who carries a 5.69 ERA. Nationals young bats, especially James Wood, have been surging, leading both to like the Nationals moneyline and first 5 innings over.

Rodon boasts strong recent form and career stats versus Cleveland, leading to a consensus on Yankees moneyline and run line. In Toronto, the Phillies start Christopher Sanchez against Bowden Francis of the Blue Jays. With Harper's injury status still unclear, both lean towards Phillies team total over and full game over 8.5. The Angels visit Boston with You Say Kikuchi facing Brian Bello. Bello's inability to work deep into games and Kikuchi's past struggles at Fenway push both towards Angels moneyline and the over. Milwaukee Brewers visit Cincinnati with Freddy Peralta against Hunter Greene. Greene's poor history against Milwaukee, allowing frequent home runs, leads both hosts to prefer Brewers moneyline and target Christian Yelich home run props. Arizona Diamondbacks visit Atlanta where Zac Gallen faces Spencer Strider. Both pitchers have struggled recently, but Griffin trusts Gallen slightly more, leaning Diamondbacks moneyline and over 8.5. The Rangers face the Rays in Tampa with Tyler Mahle versus Drew Rasmussen. Rasmussen's strong recent form and Tampa's under trend make the under appealing, with a slight edge to the Rays. Kansas City Royals visit St. Louis Cardinals with Michael Lorenzen opposing Andre Pallante. Lorenzen's solid career stats versus the Cardinals and Pallante's recent control issues steer Munaf toward Royals moneyline while Griffin prefers Cardinals if the price drops. In Seattle, Baltimore Orioles send Tomoyuki Sugano against George Kirby. Kirby's recent struggles and Orioles recent wins push both towards Baltimore moneyline with caution towards the total. San Diego Padres visit San Francisco Giants with Romeo Burkert opening against Landen Roupp. The Giants' bullpen dominance and Padres offensive issues make Giants moneyline and under the preferred plays. The night concludes with the New York Mets visiting the Los Angeles Dodgers, featuring Tyler Megill versus Clayton Kershaw. Kershaw's perfect 11-0 career record against the Mets leads both to confidently back Dodgers moneyline. Griffin's best bet is Dodgers ML while Munaf selects Brewers ML.

On May 27, 2025, the Cincinnati Reds secured a commanding 7-2 victory over the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium, clinching the series and showcasing their offensive and pitching prowess. The game, part of a three-game set, saw the Reds improve to 28-28, while the Royals dropped to 29-26. The standout performance came from shortstop Elly De La Cruz, whose two towering home runs electrified the crowd and powered the Reds' offense. De La Cruz's bombs, described as “massive” by MLB's official account, were pivotal in building a lead that Kansas City couldn't overcome. Brady Singer, facing his former team, delivered a masterful performance on the mound for Cincinnati. The right-hander pitched seven strong innings, allowing just two runs while scattering hits and keeping the Royals' bats quiet. Singer's command was evident as he navigated a lineup that has struggled offensively, with Kansas City ranking 13th in the American League with a .664 team OPS. His ability to settle down after a shaky start and pitch into the seventh inning was lauded by fans and analysts alike, with posts on X noting his “great job” and efficiency. The Reds' offense complemented Singer's gem with timely hitting. TJ Friedl reached base four times, including a bunt single, while Santiago Espinal chipped in with two hits. The team's aggressive approach at the plate capitalized on Royals pitcher Daniel Lynch IV, who was making only his second start of the season after transitioning from the bullpen. Cincinnati's early scoring set the tone, and De La Cruz's homers in the middle innings put the game out of reach. Defensively, the Reds were sharp, with manager Terry Francona's strategic decisions paying dividends. Ian Gibaut closed out the game, securing the five-run lead. The victory was celebrated across Reds' fanbase, with outlets like FOX19 and RedsDaily4 highlighting the team's balanced attack and Hunter Greene's upcoming start for a potential sweep on May 28. Despite injuries to key players like Jake Fraley and Jeimer Candelario, the Reds showed resilience, leveraging their young talent and veteran leadership. This win underscored their potential in a competitive NL Central, setting the stage for a critical series finale.

Fifty games into the season, the Cubs are 10 over .500 and leading the National League Central. The Reds, however, could be a problem.

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.

Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner talk MLB betting for Friday and this weekend. The guys cover the entire card and give out best bets. The MLB Friday betting podcast hosted by Manaf Manji and Griffin Warner covered an extensive analysis of all 16 matchups. Manaf opened by highlighting the full Friday slate, including a doubleheader between the Orioles and Red Sox. Griffin immediately addressed frustrations with umpiring and pitch clock enforcement, using Yoán Moncada's controversial strikeout as an example. For Game 1 of the doubleheader, Povich (Orioles) and Baio (Red Sox) were both criticized, with both hosts favoring the over due to poor pitching. Povich's 5.28 ERA vs. Boston and Baio's recent seven-run outing made betting the over a logical play. In Cubs vs. Reds, Griffin noted Hunter Greene's return from injury as a risk, while Manaf praised Boyd's consistency and strikeouts, leaning toward the Cubs. Brewers vs. Pirates saw Freddie Peralta favored despite Pittsburgh's Paul Skenes' talent, due to a lack of run support. Both suggested under 7 as a good play. For Giants vs. Nationals, McKenzie Gore's strikeout success and the Giants' bullpen issues led to a lean toward the Nationals, especially in the first five innings. Blue Jays vs. Rays featured skepticism toward both bullpens. Despite Rasmussen's 3.00 ERA vs. Toronto, his 1-4 record and poor run support made the Jays an attractive underdog. Dodgers vs. Mets focused on Clayton Kershaw's weak return and Canning's strong 5-1 record with a 2.47 ERA. The Mets, 8-1 in Canning's starts, were backed heavily. In Guardians vs. Tigers, Jackson Jobe's 4-0 record and Detroit's 8-0 team mark in his starts made them the clear pick. Pablo Lopez vs. Royals saw under 7.5 suggested, with Lopez's home starts hitting the over but mainly due to weak opponents. In Braves vs. Padres, Chris Sale's 15-2 home mark with Atlanta was compelling, but concerns over the Padres' offensive slump and pitching made Griffin hesitant. The Rangers, with a 35-15-1 under record and the worst AL offense, were labeled an overvalued -180 favorite vs. the White Sox. Burke's wildness (13 walks in 3 starts) and Texas' high swing rate set up a potential upset. Mariners vs. Astros examined Emerson Hancock's inconsistency and the Astros' injury woes. Both leaned Mariners at plus money. Phillies vs. A's spotlighted Sacramento's hitter-friendly park. Despite Wheeler's average road form, Philadelphia's offense was favored to overwhelm. Yankees vs. Rockies centered on the 12.5 total at Coors, suggesting Yankees' team total overs. Marlins vs. Angels featured heavy criticism of Sandy Alcantara's 7.99 ERA. Kikuchi, despite inconsistencies, was backed due to the Angels' offensive momentum. Cardinals were recommended over Arizona due to Gallen's 5.14 ERA and recent struggles, while Mikolas had been reliable. For best bets, Griffin took the Angels at -143, fading Alcantara. Manaf backed the Mets over Kershaw, citing Canning's stellar form and New York's offensive edge.

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.

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.

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.

The Cincinnati Reds recently faced the Chicago White Sox in a three-game series from May 13-15, 2025, at home, dropping two of three contests. In the opener, the Reds fell 5-1 in extra innings, managing only six hits against White Sox pitching, with Chicago's Vargas delivering a decisive three-run homer in the 10th. The second game saw Cincinnati lose 4-2, as the White Sox capitalized on solo homers and efficient pitching from Martin, who allowed just one earned run over 6.2 innings. The Reds salvaged the finale, winning 7-1, with a strong offensive outburst, including 12 hits, led by Palacios and Thaiss. However, the Reds' overall struggles were evident, with a .175 batting average and 1-for-26 performance with runners in scoring position across their last three series, scoring only 24 runs in nine games. Looking ahead, the Reds travel to face the Cleveland Guardians for a three-game series starting May 16, 2025. The Guardians, perennial contenders in the AL Central, present a tough challenge with their balanced roster. Cleveland's pitching, led by Tanner Bibee and Shane Bieber (if healthy), could exploit Cincinnati's recent offensive woes. The Reds will rely on their young core—Elly De La Cruz, Matt McLain, and Hunter Greene—to spark the lineup and rotation. Greene's high-velocity fastball could test Cleveland's contact-oriented hitters, but the Reds' bullpen must hold late leads, an issue in the White Sox series. Cincinnati's ability to improve plate discipline and capitalize on scoring opportunities will be critical against Cleveland's stingy defense. Splitting the series would be a positive step for the Reds as they aim to regain momentum in a competitive NL Central race

Join us as we dive into the Cincinnati Reds' tough weekend that saw their record slip below .500 in the 2025 MLB season. Coming off a promising start under new manager Terry Francona, the Reds faced a challenging series against the Houston Astros and struggled to maintain momentum, dropping key games that exposed ongoing issues with their offense and bullpen. In this video, we break down the pivotal moments from the May 9-11 series, including a high-scoring 13-9 win powered by Elly De La Cruz's three-run homer in a 10-run first inning, but also critical losses that highlighted their inconsistencies. The Reds, now 20-22, have been plagued by injuries to key players like Jake Fraley (calf tenderness) and Tyler Callihan (forearm fracture), testing their depth. Fans on X expressed frustration, noting the team's .200 batting average with runners in scoring position and a 2-5 record over the past week, a slide that's left them scrambling to stay competitive in the NL Central. We analyze how the Reds' struggles in one-run games and blown saves, like Emilio Pagan's recent meltdown, have compounded their woes. Despite flashes of brilliance from young stars like De La Cruz and Hunter Greene, the Reds' inability to capitalize against sub-.500 teams continues to haunt them, a trend that carried over from their 9-18 May skid in 2024.

Head coach Zac Taylor explained that both players are “working through their contracts,” a common negotiation process for high draft picks. Rookie contracts are slotted based on draft position, but details like guaranteed money and bonus structures can delay agreements. Stewart expressed frustration, stating, “I just decided not to sign those papers … I hate being on the sideline,” but hopes to finalize by next week. Posts on X and reports indicate this is not unusual for the Bengals, as last year's first-round pick, Amarius Mims, signed just before training camp. The Bengals' cautious approach to rookie deals, possibly to optimize cap space or contract terms, has drawn fan criticism but aligns with their history. Meanwhile, four other 2025 picks—Dylan Fairchild, Barrett Carter, Jalen Rivers, and Tahj Brooks—have signed, suggesting the holdout is specific to higher picks. The situation remains fluid, with no long-term concerns yet, as negotiations continue.

The Nats fell 6-1 in Cincinnati on Friday evening to open the three game set. Mark (From Cincy) & Al discuss Mitchell Parker's second consecutive poor outing as he allowed five runs off of four walks in only four innings on the mound. Parker this past week has been struggling with control and looks like a different pitcher than the one that began the season. (06:40) Michael Soroka struck out 11 Iron Pigs in only five innings of work in his AAA rehab outing in Rochester. He is expected to return to the big league rotation in the near future. (9:45) Jackson Rutledge tossed a scoreless bottom of the 8th and quietly is sporting a 2.38 ERA. Will he start to pitch in more high leverage situations moving forward? (13:10) Reds hurler Hunter Greene dominated Washington as he collected a dozen strikeouts in only six innings of work. Greene now has 55Ks this season, 3rd most in the majors, trailing league leader MacKenzie Gore by four strikeouts. (16:30) Josh Bell homered and the exited the game early due to tweaking his hamstring. (19:40) Trevor Williams is slated to start on Saturday, but there is heavy rain in the Cincinnati forecast.

Eric and Cory Phillips recap the Cincinnati Reds beating the Washington Nationals 6-1 on the backs of a stellar pitching performance from Hunter Greene and the long awaited return of Tyler Stephenson.  They also discuss Santiago Espinal continuing to produce and his role with the team, the Reds bullpen and much more.

The Nats snapped their three game skid with a 4-2 victory on Thursday night at the Phillies.  Mark (From Philadelphia) & Al open with the eventful top of the 6th where Washington scored all of their runs.  Luis Garcia Jr. not only had a RBI single, but also stole home on a double steal for the final insurance run.(08:10) Keibert Ruiz knocked in Nathaniel Lowe on what was ruled a three base error by Bryce Harper, but should it have been scored as a triple?(12:45) Brad Lord lasted five innings and recorded his first Big League "W". The timing is rather interesting as his rotation spot is at stake if Michael Soroka returns from the IL in the near future.(18:45) The bullpen came through for Lord as three relievers combined for four scoreless frames.  Jose A. Ferrer tossed two innings, Jorge Lopez pitched the 8th, and Kyle Finnegan bounced back with his 10th save of the season, the 2nd most in the NL.(25:00) The Nationals made their first bullpen transaction post Opening Day as they signed veteran Andrew Chafin and DFA'd Colin Poche. Chafin has been in the majors since 2014 and has a career ERA of 3.42. The lefty pitched well for AAA-Toledo last month before signing a major league deal with the Nats.(30:00) The road trip moves this weekend to Cincinnati for a three game set.  Mitchell Parker will start the opener on Friday night vs. Hunter Greene.   The Reds are 17-15 overall and are in 2nd place in their division. 

Post-Dispatch podcasts page: https://go.stltoday.com/0hfn43 Please consider subscribing: https://go.stltoday.com/9aigz5 If we can all agree that teams in the National League Central cycle in and then out of a window contention, then let's begin the discussion there as a brand new Best Podcast in Baseball does with a look at all five division rivals and where they are in their timeline to contend. Longtime Cincinnati baseball writer and Reds beat writer C. Trent Rosecrans, who is now with The Athletic and The New York Times, joins Post-Dispatch baseball writer Derrick Goold during a rain delay at Great American Ball Park to look out the windows and see what teams are in a downcycle from contending, what team is square in an urgent window to do so, and where the Reds and Cardinals fit on the spectrum. The comparison between the Reds and Cardinals gets some added gravity when considering how the Reds have a young nucleus of players -- and arguably the most-talented position player (Elly De La Cruz) and most-talented starter (Hunter Greene) in the division -- and yet they're not considered a favorite, some pundits don't see them as a contender, and it's not the first itme they've had a core built to contend that doesn't. That's a lesson for the Cardinals who want to build a core as well and expect to contend -- but there's no guarantee. An X-factor for the Reds is manager Terry Francona, who came out of retirement to lead the Cincinnati youth and possible galvanize them for a division run they've not been able to make due to inconsistency. Francona's arrival in the NL Central comes 14 years after the Cardinals interviewd him for their manager vacancy. Rosecrans and Goold, two writers who covered the late Walt Jocketty when he was leading the Reds or Cardinals front office, respectively, also discuss the popular baseball exec's impact on both franchises and especially what he brought back to Cincinnati that the Reds are out to restore even today. Star Wars Day is also discussed. The Best Podcast in Baseball, sponsored by Closets by Design of St. Louis, is a production of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, StlToday.com, and Derrick Goold. In its 13th season, BPIB can be found wherever you get your podcasts. It is likely in need of a new theme song after all these years.

C. Trent Rosecrans joins Eno and DVR to discuss the Reds -- including Andrew Abbott's fast start and track record of posting ERAs below his projections -- the ascent of Hunter Greene, Nick Lodolo's missing strikeouts amidst good results, and questions around the quality and depth of the Cincinnati bullpen. Plus, they examine the profile of Nick Kurtz, who has been promoted to the big leagues by the A's less than a year after he was drafted fourth overall out of Wake Forest.
