REDS RUMORS & GOSSIP
Despite minor struggles, Aroldis Chapman can lead the Cinncinati Reds to their sixth World Series title this autumn
Surrendering back-to-back solo homers to the Phillies’ Erik Kratz and Freddy Galvis, Cinncinati Reds flamethrower Aroldis Chapman blew his second consecutive save opportunity in a 3-2 loss in Philadelphia on Sunday. Converting eight straight chances to open the season, the 25-year-old Chapman (3-1, 2.41 ERA) has struggled in May. Regardless, the 6-foot-4, 200 pound Chapman remains...
With Cueto Back, Reds Send Tony Cingrani To Triple-A Louisville
With Johhny Cueto returning to action, the Cincinnati Reds had to send LHP Tony Cingrani back to Triple-A Louisville. Cingrani had pitched extremely well for the Reds over his six starts going 2-0 with a 3.27 ERA and a 1.03 WHIP. He also struck out 41 and walked 9. If Mike Leake struggles at all as the fifth man on the Reds rotation, Cingrani would gladly make his way back.

Bronson Arroyo Dominates Phillies in Reds Win

Cingrani optioned to Louisville
Tony Cingrani will now have to mow down AAAers.
Tony Cingrani did a most admirable job filling in for Johnny Cueto while our ace was on the DL. In 6 starts he went 2-0 with a 3.27 ERA. Among the starting pitchers, that ERA was bested only by Mat Latos (who had an unholy April) and the man whose spot he was taking. His 1.2 Ks per inning pitched led the squad.
Unfortunately for Cingrani...

Reds hope for better luck against Lee
Though the Cincinnati Reds swept a three-game home set from the Philadelphia Phillies last month, they didn't do much against Cliff Lee.

Your browser does not support iframes.
We already knew Aroldis Chapman was filthy on the mound.
However, the final pitch he threw to Miami Marlins hitter Derek Dietrich Wednesday night was simply mind-bending, not to mention virtually unhittable.
Take another look as the Cuban Missile delivers an absolutely wicked slider that both boggles the mind and freezes the body of...
Rolling Latos to face stumbling Marlins

The undefeated Latos will try to win a fifth consecutive start and lead the Reds to their season-best sixth straight victory Thursday against a Miami team that has the worst offense in the majors.

Reds' in-flight menu fit for a king
Us commoners are lucky to get a tiny bag of peanuts or a package containing three Lorna Doone cookies on a cross-country flight. And compared to us laypeople, Major League Baseball players are kings when it comes to the grub options they have in their fancy schmancy planes.
