Reds News

The Cincinnati Reds are in a troubling spiral, losing their fourth straight game after a heartbreaking 5-6 defeat to the St. Louis Cardinals, which saw the bullpen falter once again in the late innings. With a dismal 2-5 record over the past week and a painful run differential of -18, the urgency is palpable as they find themselves in baseball's no-man's land. On the injury front, there’s a glimmer of hope with Elly De La Cruz's recovery timeline moving up, but the team must tread carefully to avoid further setbacks. As manager Francona urges his players to bring more fire to their base running, the Reds need to ignite their performance quickly or risk becoming sellers at the trade deadline instead of buyers. This team is broken, and finding a fix won't happen overnight.

The Cincinnati Reds are broken with no quick fix

The Cincinnati Reds lost to the St. Louis Cardinals again on Sunday. Much like Saturday’s loss, the team scraped and clawed their way to the game still being tight late, only for the bullpen to fork over the game in the 8th inning. The bullpen is a problem, yes. There are simply too few arms […]
