The Reds are at the point in their season where they have to find whatever satisfaction can be scraped from the micro rather than the macro. There is little chance of them getting back into contention, but Tuesday’s 9-5 victory over the Cardinals was a relief from the recent gloom and doom of losing. It […]

September 9, 2014 by
The Indians’ stellar run of sterling starts has kept them coherent in the postseason chase. But that ran came to a crashing halt Monday at the hands of an Angels team with the best record and some of the hottest bats in baseball. Fortunately for the Tribe, the Angels were only in town for one […]
Cardinals Beat Reds 5-0
September 9, 2014 by
While left-hander David Holmberg’s solid outing on Monday vs. the Cardinals doesn’t count as a start, it was certainly the type of performance the Reds would like to see from him in his future starts. Upon Dylan Axelrod going down with a right oblique strain after retiring the first batter, Holmberg was pressed into service […]

It was the Justin Meram show in Columbus once again Sunday afternoon, as the winger scored a second-half brace to help the Columbus Crew to a 3-0 win over visiting Chivas USA. Meram’s pair of perfectly placed shots came largely from his own creation, giving the Crew the spark it badly needed in what had […]

Green basically called his own number Sunday with 4:58 left and it is now known as the 77-yard Shot Heard ‘Round Bengaldom that gave them a thrilling 23-16 Opening Day victory over the Ravens.

Indians Beat White Sox 2-0 to Earn Sweep
September 8, 2014 by
Carlos Carraso’s return to the rotation began in impressive fashion a month ago. When the right-hander carried the intitial success over a handful of starts, it seemed like a pleasant surprise and an encouraging development for an Indians staff in need of a lift. After Carrasco’s latest performance, perhaps the time has come to expect […]

It was not an image that Indians fans wanted to see. Detroit’s Victor Martinez, a friend turned foe, ran up the first-base line, thrust his right arm skyward and silenced an already subdued Cleveland crowd on Thursday with a three-run home run in extra innings. There were scattered cheers from the Tigers faithful who made […]
