Watch the Cincinnati Reds try to thump the Arizona Diamondbacks

The Reds try, try, try once again to win some baseball games!

Here we are, once again begging the Cincinnati Reds to find any sort of momentum in this 2025 Major League Baseball season.

The Reds have lost 4 of 5 and find themselves yet again 3 games under the .500 mark, this time at 30-33 in a season that has already inched its way under 100 games remaining in the regular season.

If it feels as if the Reds have just been ebbing and flowing within flirting distance of the .500 mark all season, well, that’s precisely what’s really been happening. They never seem to let the ‘bad’ get so bad they dip hopelessly below that level, but the ‘good’ is never sustained enough to get them with that mark completely in the rear-view mirror.

Sisyphean, really. They just keep doing the same thing over and over and over again and it’s not really working worth a damn.

The next club up on their journey through 2025 is the Arizona Diamondbacks and old friend Eugenio Suarez. Despite a roster that, on paper, should be pretty loaded, the DBacks enter this series at just 31-31 during their own disappointing campaign, and the surely look at a Hunter Greene-less Reds rotation and are ready to feast themselves. Therefore, this is a pretty pivotal series for both clubs as we inch ever closer to the July trade deadline, as these one-time theoretical contenders look to posture themselves more towards the ‘buyer’ side of things than that of sellers.

Once again, Great American Ball Park becomes the site for this series, though the storms in the area could wreak havoc on how they attempt to get Friday’s game in.

Go Reds, would ya!

How to Watch

Friday’s series opener will be carried by Apple TV+, and I apologize for that fact. It’s truly a dismal attempt by them to broadcast Major League games.

The following two games of the series will be broadcast on FanDuel Sports Network. You can watch FDSN in-market through cable packages, though it’s also available to be streamed in-market with no blackout restrictions even without a cable subscription. You can check the link in the above sidebar (which I’ve re-linked right here) for more information on how you can do just that.

Per usual, you can view these final two games from outside the Reds TV market by catching the FDSN stream through MLB.tv.
