Reds Outlook

 

Today were are going to take a look at the Reds first five week’s of play. The Reds have a 19-15 record. They set, two game’s back of the 20-12 St. Louis Cardinals. The reds have five walk off, out of their 13 home wins. The 3 slash line for Reds at home .264/.344/.427 and 22 Home runs at Great American Ball Park. They have won all five series they have played at G.A.B.P. 2-1 vs LLA, 2-1 vs WASH, 3-0 vs PHI, 3-1 vs MIA, 2-1 vs CHC.

   Away from G.A.B.P is a different story for the Cincinnati Reds. They have a 3 slash line of   .224/.312/.329. and only 9 Home Runs. The have a 6-10 Road Record. The Only Road series win came in Chicago where they swept the Cubs. 1-2 @STL, 0-3 @PIT, 1-3 @WASH, 1-2 @STL, 3-0 @CHC.

 

 

Two of the bright spot’s of the Cincinnati Reds Lineup have been, CF Shin Soo Choo. Choo has been a on base machine for the Reds, Choo has a 3 slash line of .333/.465/.587. Choo  also lead the league in Hit-By- Pitches with eleven of them. Choo has also hit 7 Home runs and has 15 RBI.  The Other bright spot of the Reds offense is second baseman Brandon Phillips. Phillips has 3 slash line of .281/.324/.461, has 5HR, along with 29RBI.

 

The Reds have one of the best rotation’s in baseball Homer Bailey, Bronson Arroyo, Mike Leake, Tony Cingrani, Mat Latos. Johnny Cueto has been hurt but the Rookie Tony Cingrani has been a nice addition to the Reds pitching staff. Cingrani has had four start’s ( 24.1 IP, 7R, 7ER, 5BB, 30K). He is also a Left Hander with an above average fastball. Mat Latos has been light’s out for the Reds, since they picked up from the Padres. Latos this year has 3-0 record, along with a 2.23 ERA.
