April 11, 2013 by
It didn’t matter how many runs the Reds scored in the series opener vs. the Cardinals — that still counted as just one win.

Reds Beat Angels 5-4
April 4, 2013 by
The sacrifice bunt is often derided by the new-school baseball crowd because it gives away an out and can take the bat out of the hand of the better hitters. No one has ever accused Reds manager Dusty Baker of being new school. Baker believes in the sac bunt through thick and thin, for better […]
