Reds News

Nick Lodolo is back, and with a new breaking ball grip, he’s poised to reclaim his spot as a vital cog in the Reds’ rotation. After five scoreless frames against the Miami Marlins, there’s a glimmer of hope amid the Reds' tumultuous stretch, even as they sit at 59-63. Meanwhile, Ke'Bryan Hayes is showing signs of life with a recent power surge, suggesting he might finally be figuring things out at the plate. On the flip side, the bullpen has been a disaster, with Tejay Antone’s return overshadowed by mismanagement that highlights the need for better handling of arms. As the Reds gear up for a pivotal series against the St. Louis Cardinals, fans are left wondering if this team can turn things around. The next few games could be crucial for morale and momentum in this waning season.

The Cincinnati bullpen gets its own turn to suffer

Tejay Antone never should have been tasked with this. To be quite clear, I am ecstatic that Antone not only made it back to the big leagues in very successful fashion after his third Tommy John surgery almost two years ago, but he never should’ve found himself in the situations he was in this weekend […]
