Cincinnati Reds Tickets

Cincinnati Reds News – 2013 Reds Updates

3/26/13 – The City of Cincinnati might as well shut down for Opening Day – Reds fans consider the day an unofficial Holiday and flock to Great American Ball Park in masses. The Cincinnati Reds are the only team who always opens the season with a home game (aside from 1990) and for the first time ever this year, teams (including the Reds) will play interleague games on Opening Day. Demand for Reds tickets is high; it is not surprising than that Reds Opening Day tickets are the second most expensive in the League – only the Boston Red Sox at New York Yankees Opening Day tickets are more expensive. Following the Reds Opening Day series against the Los Angeles Angels, the team will host the Washington Nationals, Philadelphia Phillies, Miami Marlins, and Chicago Cubs in April.

Is "The Big Red Machine" back? With the Cincinnati Reds winning the National League's Central Division two out of the last three years, many fans would say, "Yes sir!" Manager Dusty Baker has the boys from Ohio's "Queen City" playing solid baseball, with timely hitting and solid pitching. However, the Reds do have a number of questions going into the 2013 campaign. Are slugger Joey Votto and ace starter Johnny Cueto fully recovered and rehabbed from late season injuries suffered last season? Votto suffered torn cartilage in his left knee midway through last season, and was only moderately effective as a hitter after a short rehab; Cueto strained a muscle in his back just eight pitches into Game 1 of the 2012 NL Division Series, and never returned, while the Reds dropped three straight to the eventual World Series champions from San Francisco. The Reds also acquired outfielder Shin-Soo Choo from their upstate rivals in Cleveland; Choo is expected to hold down center field while up and coming basepath burner Billy Hamilton learns to play the position in what many expect to be his final season in the minor leagues. Finally, can 100-mph fireballer Aroldis Chapman successfully make the transition back to starting pitching, after a 2012 season in which he was one of the dominant closers in the National League? All of this and more remains to be seen as 2013 opens at Great American Ball Park.
