  • Cincinnati Reds Press Clippings April 9, 2017
    Cincinnati Reds Press Clippings April 9, 2017 THIS DAY IN REDS HISTORY 1962 - The Reds play the first game of a 162-game schedule, brought about by the expansion to 10 teams, with the addition of New York and Houston MLB.Com Walks an issue in Reds' loss to Cards By Mark Sheldon and Jenifer Langosch / MLB.com | 6:27 PM ET ST. LOUIS -- Boosted by Aledmys Diaz's first career multi-homer game, the Cardinals' offense awoke Saturday to spoil Bronson Arroyo's return to the Majors. With a 10-4 rout of the Reds at Busch Stadium, the Cardinals surpassed their season run total in one afternoon and gave Michael Wacha more than sufficient support in his season debut. Diaz deposited Arroyo's fourth pitch of the game into the left-field seats to give the Cardinals an early lead, and, three innings later, put the Cardinals ahead by five with a three-run drive to nearly the same spot. "Somebody had to get it going, and he just decided to do it twice," said Cardinals manager Mike Matheny, whose club had been shut out on two hits a night earlier. "And then you saw it continue." Arroyo, who became the first Reds pitcher to start a game at age 40 since 1945, allowed six runs on six hits over four innings. However, just getting back on the mound was an achievement. Saturday's start marked Arroyo's first Major League appearance since June 2014. "It was a battle. It was a grind, man," Arroyo said. "I didn't get deep enough in the ballgame to really make a difference.

  • Cincinnati Reds'
    CCIINNCCIINNNNAATTII RREEDDSS PPRREESSSS CCLLIIPPPPIINNGGSS NOVEMBER 14, 2014 CINCINNATI ENQUIRER Cueto-for-Upton trade proposed by Sports on Earth writer David Clark Johnny Cueto for Justin Upton? It's one of five blockbuster trades that make sense, according to sportsonearth.com's Anthony Castrovince. From Castrovince: Neither of these clubs has the financial flexibility to be a major player in free agency, so here's a way for each of them to significantly address a pressing need in the trading game. Granted, I don't actually expect the Reds to move their ace in advance of a season in which they expect to contend. Walt Jocketty has made it pretty clear that's not his intent at all. Nor am I convinced John Hart will move his cleanup hitter, though he hinted this week that this is a stronger possibility than those rumors of him moving Evan Gattis. What I do know is that both Upton and Cueto are eligible for free agency next winter, and the odds of either remaining with his current club beyond 2015 seem slim, given the other contractual commitments their clubs have made. If either is to be moved, the best option might be to move them for pieces of immediate impact. The Reds need a productive left fielder who can get on base -- preferably in a short-term situation, before prospect Jesse Winker arrives (as soon as 2016). Upton runs notoriously hot and cold, but he's averaged 24 homers with a .357 OBP the last six seasons. He'd instantly augment and balance the heart of a lineup in which Joey Votto's knee woes and Jay Bruce's disappointing '14 are big concerns moving forward.

  • Cincinnati Reds'
    MLB.COM Improved NL Central poses challenge to retooled Reds Cincinnati has addressed shortcomings, but so have division foes January 16, 2013, 2:41 PM ET By Mark Sheldon CINCINNATI -- Not content with exiting the postseason as early as they did in 2012, the Reds made the effort this winter to fill holes and make upgrades. Theoretically, the additions should have the Reds improved and poised to repeat as National League Central champions. But of course, it's rarely that easy. Many of Cincinnati's rivals have been busy, too. "I still think the division will be tough," Reds general manager Walt Jocketty said. "We have to stay healthy and play like we have been playing." While finishing 97-65 and winning the division by nine games over the Cardinals, the Reds were bounced in five games by the Giants as some of their weaknesses were exposed. Cincinnati lacked a true leadoff hitter, another dominant-type starter for the rotation and help on the bench. In their biggest move of the offseason, the Reds found their leadoff hitter by working a three-way trade that acquired outfielder Shin-Soo Choo from the Indians. It cost them no pitching but sent underperforming center fielder Drew Stubbs to Cleveland and shortstop prospect Didi Gregorius to Arizona. Reds leadoff hitters combined for a .254 on-base percentage in 2012 and Choo had a .389 OBP when he led off last season. For its riskiest move of the offseason, the club has decided to try moving lefty flamethrower Aroldis Chapman from closer to the rotation.

    Coaching Articles : Eric Musselman File For Coaches Jackson makes Hall of Fame on principle By Roscoe Nance, USA TODAY Los Angeles Lakers coach Phil Jackson heads the 2007 Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame class, which will be inducted Saturday in Springfield, Mass. The group includes University of North Carolina men's coach Roy Williams, Louisiana State University women's coach Van Chancellor, the 1966 Texas Western University men's team, referee Marvin "Mendy" Rudolph and international coaches Pedro Ferrandiz of Spain and Mirko Novosel of Yugoslavia. Jackson, 61, has won nine NBA championships as a coach — six with the Chicago Bulls and three with the Lakers — tying Hall of Famer Red Auerbach's record. He has coached some of the NBA's greatest players, including Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen with the Bulls and Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal with the Lakers. Jackson gets players to buy into his coaching philosophy, which is influenced by Native American and Eastern beliefs. "The great thing about Phil is the way he has handled players," Hall of Famer Magic Johnson said. "He has a different style, too, that old Zen thing. I love him because he never gets too high and never gets too low and always wants to help the guys grow as men. He teaches them basketball and also teaches them outside the sport." One of his more renowned strategies is handing out books for players to read during road trips. "He's trying to get players to see that there's more to life than the NBA and your performance today," said NBA TV analyst Steve "Snapper" Jones.

  • Baseball Under Glass: 1950S Latin Players Photo Exhibit Highlight Of
    1950s Latin players photo exhibit highlight of HOF By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Tuesday, July 29th, 2014 COOPERSTOWN, NY — Memories and opinions of the sights, sounds and people of Hall of Fame weekend: The Hall of Fame is very much worth the price of your admission, even if it needs a bit of freshening up. Traditional exhibits are the bulwark of sports’ most im- pactful repository of history. The collection of game- worn and-used items are George Castle special. They range from the resin bag employed by Ralph Branca as he served up Bobby Thomson’s Shot Heard ‘Round the World to the shoes Hall of Famer Billy Williams wore when he played in 1,117 consecutive games as a Cub. Stan Musial, one of baseball’s all-time good guys, was especially generous in donating his uniforms and other equipment. Overall, St. Louis' baseball community, from the Cardinals themselves to longtime flagship radio station KMOX, seem the most adept of anyone this side of Yankee Stadium in saving their history for themselves and the Hall of Fame. Hank Aaron gets plenty of exhibit space, as he should. Given Barry Bonds’ egotistical cutting of corners through use of PEDs, Aaron is still in eve- ry sane person’s mind the all-time home-run An image of Minnie Minoso is the head- champ.

    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Cardinals Way How One Team Embraced Tradition and Moneyball at the Same Time by Howard Megdal The Cardinals Way: In the Spirit of Moneyball. In working on The Cardinals Way, spending days, weeks, and months with everyone in this organization from owner Bill DeWitt Jr. to current and former Cardinals John Mozeliak, Dan Kantrovitz, Jeff Luhnow, Sig Mejdal, Gary LaRocque, and many others, I’ve learned those claims come from a deep sense that, while they take pride in what they’ve built, and what the Cardinals mean to the whole of baseball, they don’t believe in relying purely on what has already worked as the road map to what will work now and in the future. Sure, there are traditions and practices— particularly through the rediscovery of statistical analysis, first pioneered by Branch Rickey, and reintroduced to the Cardinals by DeWitt’s hiring of Luhnow, along with the on- field, dynamic work of George Kissell—but they are the starting point for how the Cardinals determine what to do moving forward. And the upheaval caused by the hacking scandal—an effort by a member or members of the Cardinals’ front office to break into the Houston Astros’ computer database, where Jeff Luhnow is now the general manager, leading to an FBI investigation and the termination of Scouting Director Chris Correa by the Cardinals already—has only expedited the team’s need to search for how to maintain that continuity, even as the team’s succession plan gets challenged on multiple fronts. But the challenge, from within and without, is not new.
