Reds Swept by Indians
The Break is back! Today's Cincinnati Fast Break tackles the Reds five game losing steak, more awful pitching from Edinson Volquez, and the possibilities of a really long week as the road trip shifts to Philadelphia.

Cubs Throw One Away
Today's Cincinnati Fast Break talks about the outstanding pitching of Edinson Volquez last night, the Cubs inability to play defense like a Major League team, and the Reds winning 11 of their last 13.

A big congrats to former UC base-stealer extraordinaire Tony Campana, who made his Major League debut last night for the Cubs. I had the pleasure of broadcasting UC baseball games while Tony was still rocking the red and black and anyone who saw him play shouldn't be surprised by his meteoric rise to baseball's highest stage.

In honor of the Pirates coming to town tonight, there's a new bully on the block who doesn't like how some Steel City bars do business.

Miserable Weekend in St. Louis
In today's Cincinnati Fast Break, I discuss the lousy weekend of baseball we saw from the Reds, why the hitting may continue to struggle, and why Edinson Volquez doesn't deserve the blame for last night's loss on Sunday Night Baseball.
As UC wraps up spring practice, Butch Jones and Zach Collaros wrap things up with their thoughts on this spring's efforts.

Reds Weekend Leaves Fans Disappointed.
In today's Cincinnati Fast Break I discuss the disappointing weekend of Reds baseball down at GABP and the frustration over the mistakes made that led to yesterday's loss.
Jonny Gomes has been a very pleasant surprise with his new found ability to have more patience at the plate.
Not much is certain after Saturday's Bearcat Bowl V, but there are some reasons to feel good.
I have a feeling this won't address many issues and we'll still be scratching our heads over why a young man is dead.
Everyone gets a statue now!

Reds 12 - Astros 4
So, you ever have one of those days where everything mysteriously goes wrong? Today is one of those days for me. I get done recording today's Cincinnati Fast Break and the program that I use to record it shuts down before I can save it. Needless to say, my neighbors are probably not too happy about my language after that incident. So I'll give you a condensed version in text form.
Another great win for the Reds last night. Paul Janish comes up with another big night at the plate going 3-for-5 with two RBI.

Almost everyone in this lineup is contributing, except for Jay Bruce. That's a scary thought because it's just a matter of time before he breaks out. But right now, it's not an issue because the rest of the team is playing so darn well.
As far as Edinson Volquez goes, he's gotta figure out how to get people out in the 1st inning. Look at this stat, courtesy of Lance McAlister:
*Volquez 1st innings this year: 2 innings, 7 H, 5 K, 4 BB, 7 ER, 74 pitches, 31.50 ERA
*Volquez innings other than 1st: 9 total innings, 5 H, 8 K, 3 BB, 2 ER, 116 pitches, 2.00 ERA
There will be times this year when the offense won't be able to bail Volquez out of these bad situations, so he needs to figure out how he can get over these 1st inning jitters.
Still, it's nice to be able to nitpick at little problems when you're 5-0 because there's not a ton to say that's negative. Should be another great day for a ballgame as Sam LeCure faces off against Brett Myers, who should have picked up a win against the Phillies on Opening Day. Here's hoping the Reds can get out of Cincinnati with a perfect record on their first homestand of the season.
