Subreddit for fans and followers of the Cincinnati Reds, a Major League Baseball Team. The Reds play in the Central Division of the National League. Polite fans of other teams are always welcome to join the discussions here.
Remember the human. When you communicate here, all you see is a computer/device screen. When talking to someone you might want to ask yourself "Would I say it to the person's face?" or "Would I get jumped if I said this to a buddy?" See https://www.reddit.com/wiki/reddiquette for the rest.
Don't be a troll here and be respectful in other subs. Don't be (intentionally) rude at all.
Discuss the posts and comments, not the people who posted them. If you discuss other redditors rudely, it's a bannable offense.
Posts may not be self-promotional in nature, unless prior approval is given by the mod team. Any self-promotion of a blog, an app or a video is prohibited.
What's this mean exactly? Don't come into the subreddit with the sole purpose of being negative. To be clear, negativity as a whole is not banned. Criticizing a player or the front office or whomever is fine. However, if your post history is filled with nothing but vitriol and targeted harassment, expect to be removed from the conversation. We are all fans here after all.
A 1-word thread title or a thread that only includes the name of someone in a Reds' uniform is a bad thread title. " The best thread titles are complete sentences. Instead of titling a thread with "Votto," title it with "Votto hits a walk-off grand slam!" or whatever other thing you want to discuss that he did.
Posts should have some connection to the Cincinnati Reds. If you post about other teams or people associated with other teams, be sure to explain how your topic affects the Reds. Posts that don't have some connection to the Reds will be removed.

Users of r/reds, please use due diligence when interacting with these sellers. The mod team is doing all we can to try to take down these threads before they get popular but we've noticed these scammers will use other user accounts to upvote the thread and get fake users to sing praises of themselves. They will send pictures of products and cards and usually send along a sad sob story of needing money for the holidays. Please also take down the OP name of these scammers so we can ban them and send them along to Reddit admins for reports and IP bans.
You the users of this subreddit have the power to take down these scammers by reporting for scams and the robit mod will take down the threads when enough reports file in if we are asleep.
With love, Your favorite Throwback mod, Rapture.
Going back and forth with the ticket office and he’s very coy about DC availability. My guess is they’ve not been released until all previous season tickets get a chance? None even on Stub Hub too…anyone have any guesses as to when I should see them come available? Looking at Guardians in May. 5-7 seats.
Go Redlegs.
Are Krall and company up to the task to create a disciplined “right way” winning org? Is Tito the link? Is this the offseason we finally bring in an offensive weapon? Will history please repeat itself?
Go Redlegs.
Does anyone have an extra mlb.com member code that you would be willing to share with me so I can buy tickets to the game at Bristol Motor Speedway?
My wife and I like to collect promotional gifts when we go to Reds games each year. Tickets are currently on sale, but most of the promotional dates just say "Bobblehead #1" or "Promotional Item". It doesn't give specifics yet. Is there any place I can get a list of actual items they're giving away and on what dates? Or does anyone know when they will list the specifics on the website?
Next Reds Game: Sat, Feb 22, 03:05 PM EST vs. Guardians (82 days)

I watch Locked on Reds, but need some others. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Go Redlegs.
Does anyone know when or how to get yourself in the opening day ticket raffle? I remember joining last year but wasn’t sure what time of the year it was when I joined the list, and was just curious what yall knew.

Maybe this is just my pet peeve, but basically every offseason prediction story I read from national media, and a lot from the locals, points toward the Reds needing to bring in a power hitting outfielder. Now, the outfielder part, absolutely. They've neglected that position both at the major league and minor league levels for too long. The power part though is not something I'm so sure of.
So I did some digging. Here is the Guardians rank in the majors for home runs hit in every year that Francona took them to the playoffs:
2022- 29th
2020-27th
2018- 6th
2017- 15th
2016- 18th
2013-10th
Only one season in the top 10, and only 2 in the top half. So Francona was not relying that much on getting a lot of home runs from his guys, he was winning other ways.
For reference the Reds were 19th in MLB last season in homers, with CES, McLain and Candelario missing big chunks of the season. 19th would fit in right there with a lot of those Francona playoff teams.
Now, looking at the 22 Guardians, the last team Francona took the the playoffs, they ranked #1 in the least amount of strikeouts, 7th in batting average and 12th in OBP.
So I think it would be much more likely if the Reds are trying to fit a team to Francona this offseason, for them to be trying to add guys who get on base and don't strike out. Add to that the statements Krall has made about more contact and line drives, and this seems to be the way they are going. Be very surprised if they go with any of the high HR, high K outfielders as the offseason progresses.

Reds.com has a very thorough article on how to watch the Reds next season. A few highlights:
FOR THOSE WITH EXISTING CABLE OR SATELLITE SUB....
Do I need to do anything different to watch games in 2025?
No. If you currently get Reds games from a cable or satellite provider, you do not need to purchase anything additional. Fans can expect to still get Reds games from the same provider in 2025.
ME - some cable and satellite service charge a RSN fee. It's not clear if fee will still be charged. I currently pay $7.99 a month.
Will the in-market service change at all from the cable and satellite providers?
No. The Reds home TV territory will remain consistent for 2025, including all or parts of seven states (Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, West Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina and Mississippi).
FOR THOSE THAT STREAM...
What is REDS.TV?
Fans can watch all Reds games in-market during the 2025 season with a REDS.TV subscription
How much will it cost to stream the games?
Prices for 2025 will be set at a later date. In 2024, these local packages for the Padres, Rockies and Diamondbacks were $19.99 per month or $99.99 for the season.
Will there still be local blackouts for the streaming package?
No! Fans in the Reds home television territory will NOT be subject to blackouts of local broadcasts on REDS.TV. Each year a SMALL number of games are broadcast exclusively on FOX, ESPN or other national broadcast partners, and those would not be available.
When will broadcasts start? Will Spring Training games be included?
Fans will be able to stream select Reds Spring Training games for free with REDS.TV, in addition to viewing them through their cable or satellite provider. A schedule of games will be determined closer to Spring Training.
