They're Here.


Just a heads up, Fox Sports Ohio will be throwing a few Reds Spring Training games on the tube this spring:

Friday, March 5 Reds vs. Cleveland Indians 3:05pm
Thursday, March 18 Reds @ Cleveland Indians 4:05pm
Monday, March 22 Reds vs. Colorado Rockies 4:05pm

From the press release, chicken grease:

FOX Sports Ohio will broadcast three (3) Reds 2010 Spring Training Games Beginning March 5.

CINCINNATI, OHIO – FOX Sports Ohio is excited to announce its 2010 Cincinnati Reds spring training television schedule. As the Cincinnati Reds enter their first Spring Training at Goodyear Ballpark in Goodyear, Arizona, FOX Sports Ohio will be televising three (3) Reds Spring Training games this preseason as follows:

Friday, March 5 Reds vs. Cleveland Indians 3:05pm
Thursday, March 18 Reds @ Cleveland Indians 4:05pm
Monday, March 22 Reds vs. Colorado Rockies 4:05pm

March 5th marks the Reds’ first ever home game at Goodyear Ballpark, when they will take on the Cleveland Indians, who also play their home games at Goodyear Ballpark.

As the two Ohio-based teams share the ballpark, FOX Sports Ohio will partner with SportsTime Ohio (STO), the Indians television rights holder, in sharing game telecasts. FOX Sports Ohio will produce the March 5th game and share it with STO. In return, STO will originate the March 18th game, when the Reds once again battle the Indians, and share it with FOX Sports Ohio.

During the FOX Sports Ohio telecast on March 5th, fans will get a tour of the new Reds training facilities in Goodyear. Paul Keels, the newest member of the FOX Sports Ohio Reds broadcast team, will also be introduced for the first time. The main Reds play by play announcer Thom Brennaman will call the game alongside color analyst Chris Welsh. STO’s color analyst Rick Manning will also join them in the booth during the game.

On the STO-produced March 18th Reds-Indians game, Reds color analyst Chris Welsh will join Indians broadcasters Rick Manning and Matt Underwood in the broadcast booth.

FOX Sports Ohio will conclude their 2010 Cincinnati Reds’ spring training coverage with the March 22nd telecast between the Reds and the Colorado Rockies.

“We’re excited about this year’s slate of Spring Training games, and giving fans a first hand look in the Red’s new facility at Goodyear,” said Henry Ford, Senior Vice President and General Manager, FOX Sports Ohio. “The addition of partnering with SportsTime Ohio to distribute a couple of Reds vs. Indians match-ups will add a different element for viewers as well.”

Reds Classic Rewind

Suck on this, Show!


FOX Sports Ohio is putting out a fresh (or, re-fresh?) batch of Reds Classic Rewinds to quench the Reds fans’ un-dying thirst for sitting in front of the tube and watching winning Reds baseball. Looks like we have a couple of repeats with the 2010 version of Reds Classic Rewind – and a notable lack of 1990 games, given the historical significance in this anniversary year.

Past Reds Classic Rewind line-up:
2009 line-up
2008 line-up

Here’s the 2010 line-up from FSN:

Hosts Thom Brennaman, Jeff Brantley and Jeff Piecoro take viewers on a trip through Reds history with archival games featuring the “Big Red Machine,” the return of the re-mastered 1976 NLCS game with Marty Brennaman and Joe Nuxhall, the 1970 World Series Game 4, Browning’s perfect game, and more.

*Mon., Jan. 25th -10:30pm
On September 11, 1985, a sellout crowd at Riverfront Stadium and a national television audience were watching to see if Pete Rose could break Ty Cobb’s hit record. After going 0-for-4 the previous night, Rose didn’t disappoint. He hit a line drive single to left field off San Diego’s Eric Show on a 2-1 pitch for hit No. 4,192.

*Mon., Feb. 1st – 8pm
On October 22, 1975, the Reds faced the Boston Red Sox in Game 7 of what has been ranked one of the best World Series ever. The “Big Red Machine” won it in the ninth to clinch the first of back-to-back World Series championships.

*Mon., Feb. 8th – 8pm
After 11 big league years, Tom Seaver was finally able to cross off one of the few achievements that had eluded him in his magnificent career with his only no-hitter on June 16, 1978.

*Mon., Feb. 15th – 8pm
A two-hour, 27-minute rain delay didn’t halt Tom Browning, who retired all 27 Los Angeles Dodgers he faced in a 1-0 victory on September 16, 1988. Browning concluded the only perfect game in Reds history by retiring Rick Dempsey on a fly to deep right field, Steve Sax on a grounder to shortstop and Tracy Woodson on a strikeout. A throwing error accounted for the Reds’ only run.

Mon., Feb. 22nd – 8pm
We’re bringing back the re-mastered version of the classic Reds game from October 12, 1976, when the Reds swept the Phillies in NLCS Game 3. This special telecast includes original video from NBC synced with the audio of Reds veteran duo Marty Brennaman and Joe Nuxhall.

Mon., Mar.1st – 10pm (or following Cavaliers Live post-game show)
On October 14, 1970, the Reds faced Baltimore in Game 4 of the World Series. The Reds lost the series but won this game 6-5 thanks to clutch hitting by Lee May and stellar relief pitching by rookie Don Gullett and veteran Clay Carroll. Featuring a very young and upcoming Big Red Machine, this game is one of the oldest known Reds games to exist in its entirety.

* denotes re-peat from a past Reds Rewind Classic series.
