It was Brantley who was charged with an error in the outfield two innings […]

April 3, 2014 by
For all of the offense the Reds and Cardinals can boast in their respective lineups, the first two games of the 2014 season have been all about pitching, resulting in a pair of 1-0 contests. Including Wednesday’s 1-0 walk-off Reds win on a Chris Heisey pinch-hit single with the bases loaded in the bottom of […]
Reds Fall to Cardinals 1-0 to Open Season
April 2, 2014 by
It would be too simple to say the difference between new Reds manager Bryan Price notching career loss No. 1 before his first victory vs. the Cardinals was because of a Yadier Molina home run. Sure, Molina’s seventh-inning long ball off of Johnny Cueto was the lone run in a 1-0 Reds defeat to St. […]

Cavaliers Beat Pacers 90-76
March 31, 2014 by
Before Sunday’s matchup with the Indiana Pacers at The Q, the Cavaliers talked about not just meeting but exceeding the Pacers physicality.

Cavaliers Beat Pistons 97-96
March 27, 2014 by
Mike Brown is firm in his recollection. With 3.2 seconds left, in the Cavaliers’ wild 97-96 victory over the Detroit Pistons, he told Dion Waiters to drive toward the basket. Don’t shoot. Drive. “That shows how much he listens to me,” Brown said, rolling his eyes in mock exasperation. Waiters remembers it all differently, of […]
