The Blue Jays beat the Reds on Wednesday night. The got to Bronson in the first inning by scoring 3 runs. And, the beating continued through the rest of the game. The Reds are now in 4th place and two games under .500. It’s a shame that we are in this position. Go Reds, Tim

Here is the Votto effect on the Reds offense, it is quite drastic! The Reds went 26-21, hit .257, and scored 4.57 runs per game while Votto was healthy. After Votto’s injury, the Reds were 8-13, hit .217, and scored 3.38 runs per game. I hope he is healthy and ready to hit

Dr. Timothy Kremchek performed elbow surgery on Alex Gonzalez today. He removed 4-5 small bodies floating in the elbow. He is expected to miss at least a month if not longer. Go Reds, Tim

Joey Votto was activated today and should be starting at 1b tonight in Toronto. Its about time. Rumors are flying around here in Cincy on the reason he has been off. It would be irresponsible to write about the rumors but…. Go Reds, Tim

Micah Owings hit his 2nd homer of the season, a 3-run bomb, to put the Reds up 4-2.

Joey Votto will start his injury rehab tomorrow at Sarasota. He has lost quite a bit of weight, according to Dusty Baker. Hopefully, he hasn’t lost any strength. Dusty thinks that Votto will be ready in about 10 days, when the Reds return from their 6 game road trip next week. Go Reds, Tim

Wow! A two-out hit for an rbi. Where was that over the weekend.

Yikes! I had high hopes for this road trip against Washington and Kansas City. Then, they start by winning the first two and blow up. No hitting at all. The Reds are last in the NL in batting average. Willy Taveras is now hitting in the .230′s and still no Joey Votto. They have a day off to regroup and I hope it changes their heads! Go Reds, Tim

The Reds select Donnie Joseph, CL, Univ of Houston. He is a LH closer. He was 3-1 with 10 saves this past season. But, check out this stat, in 49 innings, he had 75 strikeouts. That is getting it done. Go Reds, Tim
