Renteria Singles In 10th, Reds Win.

By HD.

The Cincinnati Reds last win was in Extra Innings in Milwaukee. Today, their last win, was in Extras also. The Reds won in 10 innings today, 4-3. Here's what happened.....

The Marlins had a 1-0 lead for 8 straight innings, until the 8th when Wes Helms hit a 2 run double. Now 3-0 Marlins.

The Reds got off to a quick start in the 8th, when Jonny Gomes singled to score Brandon Phillips.

Then, Miguel Cairo singled to score Phillips. Then Paul Janish did something huge.

Janish singled to score Cairo, and the Reds have tied the game at 3.

The Reds went into extras, and thats when the Reds got the bases loaded with no outs, then Hernandez grounded out, then Paul Janish popped out to first. Just when you think its over, it wasn't.

Edgar Renteria came up as a pinch hitter, and singled to left and Gomes scored, giving the Reds a 4-3 win.

The Reds are now 14-13 and will face the Marlins tomorrow.

Reds-Cardinals Series Preview.

By HD.

A rivalry that was really tested last year, when the Cincinnati Reds and the St.Louis Cardinals got in a huge brawl.

It was a big part of the season when the Reds got swept in the Queen City, which gave the Cardinals a half a game lead in the NL Central.

But the Reds started to play Reds baseball and got back into first, clinch the NL Central last year.

Anyways, lets get on to the 3 game series in St. Louis.

GAME 1: Edison Volquez had a terrible outing vs. Pittsburgh, having early woes, and the Reds couldn't come back from a 4-0 hole. Volquez's record make look good, 2-0, but he has a 6.75 ERA. Now if you are a MLB Pitcher with that ERA, you are terrible. Kyle McClellan had been pitching very well lately, he is 2-0, with a 1.89 ERA. He is one of those guys that will beat you on any day. Now, to renew a rivalry, Look at these Shirts Cardinal Fans made making fun of Mike Leake's department store theft, but the truth is, don't make fun of a pitcher that is better than you ace, and we all know their ace, Chris Carpenter.

GAME 2: Reds will send young pitcher Travis Wood to the mound, vs. Cardinals ace, who has had a bad start to the season, Chris Carpenter, he 0-2 with a 4.13 ERA, all 4 starts he has had have been losses for his team. Wood is 1-2 with a 5.73 ERA. MY PREDICTION: Reds can't get my Carpenter ever, Carpenter is 9-0 vs. the Reds in his career.

GAME 3: This game will be on famous Sunday Night Baseball on ESPN. Sam LeCure will pitch for the Reds, but the Cardinals have not yet scheduled a pitcher for this game.

So that's the series preview. GO REDS!

Reds-Pirates Preview.

By HD.

The Cincinnati Reds will face the Pittsburgh Pirates starting tonight, so we have a series preview of the Reds first 4 game series of the year.

GAME 1 FRI 4:10 PT: Bronson Arroyo has had great success vs. the Pirates in his career, hopefully, he can keep going and bump to 3-0, but the Reds face Pirates ace who the Reds can never beat, Charlie Morton, who is 1-0 this season with a 2.08 ERA. The Reds bats will have their hands full vs. Morton. MY PREDICTION: Reds get by with this one, Arroyo spectacular, 5-2.

GAME 2 SAT 10:10 AM PT: Edison Volquez has had sluggish starts to this 2010 season, but this one will be his easiest. Volquez is 2-0 but with a 5.82 ERA. The Reds will face James Mcdonald who is 0-0 with a 5.56 ERA. MY PREDICTION: Reds win again, 6-3.

GAME 3 SUN 10:10 AM PT: Mike Leake had a bad start vs. the D-backs, and this game will be different. Leake is 1-0 with an ERA of 6.75. The Reds will face Jeff Karstens. MY PREDICTION: The Reds lineups on Sundays are pretty much never good, so I say the Reds bats go cold, Reds lose, 2-1.

GAME 4 MON 4:10 PT: Sam LeCure had a great outing vs. the Padres, but the Bullpen blew it for him, and because of that, he is 0-0 this season. He will face Kevin Correia. MY PREDICTION: Joey Votto and Scott Rolen have a great game, and the Reds blank the Pirates, 8-0.

So thats the Preview!

Reds end Slmup, Defeat Padres in Latos Opener.

By HD.

The Cincinnati Reds were looking to break out of a slight slump vs. the Padres. They did, 3-2. Here's what happened.....

Edison Volquez was on the hill for the Reds, who got off to a slow start in the 1st, giving up 2 runs on no hits, but he would get better.

The Reds slimed the Padres lead when Jonny Gomes went yard, making it 2-1.

Then later, Chris Heisey drilled a 2-run shot into left and the Reds lead 3-2 and never looked back.

Edison Volquez got the win to go to 2-0, and Mat Latos was handed the loss. These 2 teams will face off tonight, at 7:05 PT. Sam LeCure vs. Clayton Richard.

Reds-Padres Preview.

By HD.

Tonight, a tough series for the Reds in San Diego will start tonight, at 7:05 PT. It should be and OK series, not the best.

So join me as I break down this series preview, Reds vs. Padres!

GAME 1 TONIGHT 7:05 PT: Edinson Volquez will pitch for the Reds, who had a horrible start to opening day, then had a bad start vs. the Astros but the Reds game back to win, 12-4, and Volquez got his first win of the season. He is 1-0 with a 7.36 ERA. Not the best start to a season, could be better. Padres Ace Mat Latos will pitch for the Padres, who missed his first start this season after starting the season on the DL. Now it would be nice to sneak one out at Petco, but tonight it should be a good start for Mat Latos. MY PREDICTION: The Reds will have a tough start to this tough 3 game series, and I say, Padres will beat the Reds 1-0.

GAME 2 TUESDAY 7:05 PT: Sam LeCure had a rough outing vs. the Astros to start his 2011 season, but this game should be a real bounce back. LeCure is 0-0 with a 3.00 ERA. He sould get this one to win. Clayton Richard will be on the hill for the Dads, (thats Padres in English), he is 1-0 with a 3.86 ERA. He is a pretty good pitcher. So is LeCure. MY PREDICTION: Reds bounce back from Game 1 shutout to beat the Padres, 4-3. Close game.

GAME 3 WEDNESDAY 3:35 PT: Travis Wood had a pretty rough outing vs. Arizona after losing 13-2, getting pretty roughed up, but he is 1-1 with a 5.25 ERA. Tim Stauffer will go on the hill for the Daddies, he is 0-1 with a 5.06 ERA, he is a pretty OK pitcher. MY PREDICTION: Reds rough up Padres and win it, 8-4.

And thats about It GO REDS!!!

Reds Destroy The Astros, Go To 5-0.

By HD.

The Cincinnati Reds were looking to go 5-0 today and clinch the series vs. The Astros. The Reds came back to win, 12-4. Here's what happened......

The Astros led 4-0, all 4 runs were off Edinson Volquez who pitched over 45 pitches that inning, but after that, the Reds would just dominate.

The Reds got one run in the 2nd to cut the Astros lead to 3 with a Paul Janish single to plate Jay Bruce.

Reds had a 5 run 3rd inning, starting off with a Scott Rolen Double to score Brandon Phillips and Joey Votto. Chris Heisey would then get on base on an error on a terrible throw by pitcher Nelson Figueroa scoring Scott Rolen.

Another run scored again on a bad throw by the Astros Catcher Towels to third base and Jay Bruce ran home to score and the Reds now led the game 5-4. The Reds capped a 5 run inning with a Paul Janish RBI Single to score Heisey.

The Reds scored 4 runs in the 6th, starting with a Drew Stubbs single to score Janish. Then, Brandon Phillips had a RBI Single to score Miguel Cairo. Joey Votto then hit just short of a home run to bounce off the wall, but then into the stands for a ground-rule double scroing Speedy Stubbs.

The Reds added one more in the 6th, with a RBI Fielder choice by Rolen to score Phillips.

The Reds got another 2 runs in the 8th starting with a Edgar Renteria RBI Single and ending with a Error by the Astros SS to score Joey Votto.

So, thats it. The Reds win 12-4. Tomorrow, will be an early game at 9:35 AM PT Brett Myers for the Stros and Sam LeCure for the Reds.

Reds vs. Astros series preview.

By HD.

The Cincinnati Reds will face the Houston Astros starting on Tuesday, so today, we will preview a 3 game series for these teams.

A Rivalry game this might be known as, teams that had dominated each other over the years.

These teams play in the same division, (the NL Central), both have been contenders the last 10 years. As we all know, the Stros were close to winning it all in 2005.

GAME 1 4/5/11 4:10 PT: Mike Leake will pitch for the Reds and J.A. Happ for the Astros. Both will be making their first starts of the season and both are predicted to have huge breakout seasons. Leake was 8-4 last year, but he would go 1-1 vs. the Astros last season in 3 starts Last season. Last season, Brandon Phillips had a nice season vs. the Astros and so was Joey Votto. My Prediction for this one is that the Reds go to 4-0 and win it 5-3.

GAME 2 4/6/11 4:10 PT: Edison Volquez will pitch for the Reds and Nelson Figueroa will go for the Astros. We all saw the first game of the season on Opening Day when Volquez allowed back to back homers to start the game and ended up going 6 innings giving up all the 6 runs the Brewers scored that day. Figueroa will make his first start of the season. My Prediction: Reds 4-0 start to the season will end. I say the Astros will scored a bunch of runs off Volquez, the Reds lose 9-6.

GAME 3 4/7/11 9:35 PT: Young Sam LeCure will pitch for the Reds on this day, and he had looked brilliant and I am starting to like this kid. Him, and Travis Wood will be aces someday, I love the way he pitches and he is on his way as he will face his first full season this 2011 season. Brett Myers will pitch for the Astros and he was good last year, he would be all the good teams he had to face and I think Myers is the real deal. He is looking good on the mound. This will be Myers 2nd start this season after he got the no desicion on Opening Day for Houston. My Prediction: Reds win the series, 3-1. Good Pitching match-up here.

So thats your Reds-Astros Preview. Game 3 will be the best game to watch. See you tomorrow! GO REDS!

Reds vs. Brewers Series Preview.

By HD.

The Cincinnati Reds will start their first series tommorow vs. Milwaukee. It should be a great series. Here is a series preview of the Opening series of 2011.

AUTHORS NOTE: (Every Reds game, there will be a recap on here, OMOC Sports, and there will be a preview of every series).

Reds and Brewers face off on Thursday on Opening day!!!!

ITS OPENING DAY BASEBALL! C'mon! It's like a day you have to take off from school just to watch or work. It is a huge reason to watch. Great games are always on opening day, so lets get to it. Lets go REDS!

Game 1 THURSDAY 11:05 PM PT: Edinson Volquez will be pitching for Cincy, and Yovani Gallardo will pitch for the Brew Crew. We all remember last year when Brandon Phillips hit that 500 foot jack that landed into the yellow slide in Milwaukee right? But, this time, he will have to hit it into the people of Great American Ball Park. Volquez will looked very scary, and very terrible at times, but he will have to be the key guy to watch on opening day. The Reds also went with him in the 1st game of the playoffs last year when we lost to the Phillies. Let's see how 2010 MVP Joey Votto will do on Thursday.

GAME 2 SATURDAY 4:10 PM PT: Travis Wood, who flirted with a no-no and a perfect game last year, and see if he can go through his first full year with the Reds. The Brewers will send out Shaun Marcum to pitch. The guy to watch will be Veteran Shortstop, Edgar Renteria, last season's world series MVP, helping the Giants win the world series. Wood will be like a Greg Maddux some day hopefully. I would love to see the Reds have a Cy Young Winner like that. And how about Jonny Gomes, Jay Bruce and Drew Stubbs, the big 3 Out Fielders will have a game vs. Marcum. Marcum is not the best pitcher for the Brewers and is getting much better. And the bullpen will have to shut down the Brewers hitting staff who has Prince Fielder and Ryan Braun.

GAME 3 SUNDAY 10:10 PM PT: 2 Veteran pitchers will face off, Bronson Arroyo, who is dealing with Mono, and Randy Wolf the left hander. Jonny Gomes and Jay Bruce have had great hitting careers vs. Randy Wolf. Bruce has .438 BA, and 2 Homers and Gomes .626 BA, in 16 At Bats. Randy Wolf however, is 10-3 vs. The Reds in his career.

And that's it. The Cincinnati Reds opening series of the year will be tough, but we should win. GO REDS!!!!!

Bronson Arroyo has Mononucleosis.

By HD.

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher, Bronson will probably have to join Johnny Cueto and Homer Bailey on the DL to start the season.

Arroyo, has been ill for at least 2 weeks, was diagnosed with Mononucleosis.

Mononucleosis is a viral disease that is marked by fatigue, fever and a sore throat. There are no drugs to cure mono; the only treatments are rest and medications to alleviate the symptoms, which usually dissipate in four to eight weeks.

Arroyo says that he does not expect to miss any starts however.

The Reds rotation will look like this coming into the season.

1. Edinson Volquez.

2. *Bronson Arroyo.

3. Mike Leake (Replacement for Johnny Cueto).

4. Travis Wood.

5. Sam Lecure (Replacement for Homer Bailey).

*Possibly on DL.

It wouldn't be good to see Arroyo hurt, he was the one to had the most wins for the Reds last season. If there will be more news, we will keep you updated.

Johnny Cueto to miss start of the season.

By HD.

A Sore tight elbow will shutdown Reds pitcher Johnny Cueto for the start of the season.

Cueto flew back to Cincinnati and had an MRI that found inflammation in the shoulder. He had to leave his last two spring training starts because of soreness. Doctors have advised him not to throw for at least a week.

The Reds plan to leave him behind to work out in Arizona when they head north to start the season against Milwaukee on March 31.

The injury forces manager Dusty Baker to change his rotation. He's now planning to go with Edinson Volquez, Homer Bailey, Bronson Arroyo, Travis Wood and Mike Leake.

Volquez to start on Opening Day for the Reds.

By HD

Manager Dusty Baker of the Cincinnati Reds announced that RP Edinson Volquez will start on Opening Day vs. the Brewers on 3-31-11.

A much suprise to the queen city as Volquez gets the start over Bronson Arroyo and Johnny Cueto. Volquez went 4-3 with a 4.31 ERA over 12 starts during 2010. His last full season was 2008, his first in Cincinnati, when he won 17 games and became an All-Star for the first time.

Edinson got the start in the first playoff game last season, and probably a game Philly fans remember as Roy Halladay No hit the Reds, 4-0.

Volquez came back in the middle of last season after a sucsessful Tommy John surgery. He really still hasent been the same since the 17 win season.

"I thought Cueto might be it, or Bronson for No. 1," Volquez said. "They're giving me the opportunity to be No. 1 and I'm excited. It's an honor. ... It surprised me when they told me. Those two guys just signed big contracts. I signed for one year. Pitching the first day is unbelievable."

"I feel 100 percent right now," Volquez said. "I don't feel anything in my arm. I've been throwing a lot. Before I came here, I threw five [bullpen sessions], one live BP and two innings. I've already got three [bullpen sessions] down here."

And we will see Edinson on Opening Day, 3-31-11.

Volquez, Reds agree to One-year deal.

By Hunter Hendrickson

A signed deal has yet to be formally announced with Reds pitcher Edinson Volquez, but the two sides have come to terms on a one-year deal.

ESPN Deportes reported Saturday that the deal would likely be for $1.6 million to avoid arbitration. Reds general manager Walt Jocketty had originally hoped to sign Volquez to a multiyear contract -- like he had with several others this winter -- but he wasn't disappointed.

"We'll see if they're up for doing more later," Jocketty said Sunday from a Reds Caravan stop in Lexington. "We tried to do a multiyear deal. They just wanted to concentrate on the one year now. [Volquez's agent] had a few cases and wanted to get the arbitration thing out of the way."

  Volquez's strong outing

Volquez returned from Tommy John surgery after the All-Star break in 2010 and went 4-3 with a 4.31 ERA in 62 2/3 innings. The 26-year-old was also charged with four runs on four hits and was pulled after 1 2/3 innings in Game 1 of the National League Division Series against the Phillies.

The season also included a 50-game suspension when Volquez violated Major League Baseball's performance-enhancing drug policy. He served the suspension while he was rehabilitating on the disabled list but still lost $120,000 in salary.

Now the Reds got back 2 starters from last year, Johnny Cueto and now Edison Volquez.

Reds Ink Bray, But Volquez and Cueto Unsigned.

By Hunter Hendrickson

The Cincinnati Reds have Re-signed Left handed Reiliver Bill Bray today. The deal is worth One year/$645,000.

There are now 37 arbitration-eligible players in the league who are yet to work out a deal with their clubs, two of them happen to be Dominican pitchers, one's name is Edinson Volquez, the other's is Johnny Cueto. Volquez is asking for $2 Million, But the Reds are offering him 1.3 ML.

As far as where things stand with Volquez and Cueto, both of whom made $445,000 last season, the respective sides aren't worlds apart in their salary expectations, but they have yet to find that common ground.

Cueto is asking for $3.9 million, with the Reds countering with $3 million, according to the AP. Last season, Cueto was 12-7 with a 3.64 ERA in 31 starts and 185 2/3 innings in 2010. He is 32-32 with a 4.27 ERA over his three seasons with the Reds..
