My uneducated guess on the next Reds manager is that it will be someone without prior MLB managerial experience, but likely will have had minor league managerial experience or have been an MLB coach.
And I think you'll see a more experienced big league coaching staff.

For the 5th time in 6 years under Zac Taylor, the Bengals start the season 0-2. Is he the David Bell of football coaches?

"How about these tight ends!" - Jim Nantz out of context

This is only the 2nd time since 1901 that the Reds have scored 9+ runs in an inning twice in one calendar month. Also did it in September, 1985.

2024-09-14 14:17:18

Reds scored 9 runs in the first inning on 9/4 vs HOU. Reds scored 6 runs in the 7th inning last night vs MIN. In the 85 innings in between, they scored 18 total runs.

The Reds have never won 3 straight games in 3 different road cities on 3 consecutive days before. No team has won 3 straight games in 3 different road cities on 3 consecutive days since Cleveland did it on 8/13-8/15/2017. The Reds will try to do it tonight in STL.

2024-09-10 11:52:26

The Reds haven't won 3 straight games in 3 different cities on 3 consecutive days since 5/24-5/26/1995 when they won at home vs HOU, then won 1 at the Cubs, and then won at St Louis. They've only managed this feat 5 times in their history (1995, 1958 [different from above], 1932, 1922, 1898)

So, kickoffs are different? #NotAFootballGuy

2024-09-08 17:36:22

Bengals are 1-4 in openers under Zac Taylor with the one win coming in OT. People seem surprised that they look like crap early. That's their brand.

2024-09-07 12:57:14

Most recent players to lead their teams in 1B, 2B, 3B, HR, and SB
2024 - Elly De La Cruz (CIN - as of now)
2023 - Julio Rodríguez (SEA)
1984 - José Cruz (HOU)
1972 - Willie Davis (LAD)
1963 - Vada Pinson (CIN)
1963 - Max Alvis (CLE)
1962 - Hank Aaron (MIL)
1962 - Chuck Hinton (WAS)

Reds run differential dropped from +55 to +30 in 3 days.

2024-08-18 21:13:55

Royals outscored the Reds 28-3, the biggest blowout loss of a 3-game series by the Reds since the Dodgers outscored them 36-7 in April, 2000.
Playoff team, indeed.

2024-08-15 13:21:26

This weekend will be only the 3rd series ever that the Royals have had a winning record when they faced the Reds. The other two were in 2015.
If the Reds win the first 2 games of the series, it will be the first time both teams had a winning record when they faced off.

2024-08-13 23:42:48

Our ace pukes on the mound more than yours.

2024-08-13 20:40:31

The Reds average win this season is by 3.8 runs, the 7th largest margin in MLB.
The Reds average loss this season is by 2.9 runs, the 2nd smallest margin in MLB.
That explains their positive run differential.

2024-08-09 19:38:59

Breaking to A Horse With No Name to win the gold medal.
A sentence that I never would've expected to make sense to anyone.

2024-08-07 19:08:48

In 5 games against the Marlins this season, Elly De La Cruz is hitting .591/.609/1.364 with 5 doubles and 4 HR.

2024-08-06 23:58:29

Reds turning a double play is almost always an insta-challenge from the other team. Nobody actually believes they can turn a DP.

2024-08-06 01:00:28

Elly De La Cruz is the youngest Red ever with 4 extra base hits in a game

2024-08-02 20:43:53

2024 Best Record in Game 1 of a Series
Reds 24-11 (.659)
Phillies 24-13 (.649)
Guardians 22-14 (.611)
Mariners 21-14 (.600)
Dodgers 22-15 (.595)
Braves 22-15 (.595)

Mike Trout's injuries are just another sign of the enshitification of the world.

2024-07-29 16:53:00

Reds announce acquisition of Ty France along with a few other transactions, none of which involve activating tonight's starting pitcher from the IL.

Hunter Greene in July: 27 IP, 1 run allowed (0.33 ERA). Opponents have 9 hits and only 1 extra-base hit. They're hitting .103.
Gotta be NL Pitcher of the Month in July.

2024-07-24 21:03:32

Reds SS with 5+ fWAR in a season
Barry Larkin (8x)
Buck Herzog (1914)
Billy Myers (1939)
Dave Concepcion (1974)
Elly De La Cruz (2024, as of right now)

Obviously, he's the 6th Noel.
